I never knew all of the details about Nellie Bly's life, and I thought the park was dilapidated and gone, but apparently they restored it under a new name and new management.
I'm glad I now know more about Nellie Bly, a name I had forgotten from my childhood.
Fulton History have quite a large archive for the NY World, but finding things in it...good luck. I had a less detailed reference to go on that narrowed it down to a year and a section of the paper (fortunately, a weekly supplement), and had to search page by page after that.

I hadn't realised that she had also done a Jules Verne around the world.
