During the 1950s and 1960s, Fairyland boasted 3 roller coasters, an 8 story Ferris wheel (which was bent in half during a tornado), a swimming pool (double Olympic size and closed in the late 1960s), bumper cars, a shooting range, and a petting zoo at one time.

Brancato loved children smiling, and bought the Kiddeland park at 85th and Wornall, moving the rides to Fairyland.

In 1967, arson failed to burn the wooden rollercoaster, so the Brancato family commissioned the construction of a new roller coaster, The Wildcat, in 1967.

Other promotions included advertising saying "Where 'Fun' is Still Affordable", keeping admission at fifty cents while Worlds of Fun was at five dollars plus parking fee.

In 1990, The Wildcat roller coaster, which had stood at Fairyland abandoned for 11 years, was finally dismantled and moved to Frontier City where it remains.

Alphapointe Association for the Blind bought a substantial portion of the property and constructed the Life Skills Campus which serves as its headquarters at 7501 Prospect Avenue.
