==Description==
Capt. Paul Boynton, of swimming fame, operated the concession on the Pike. It was the largest double chutes ever built. The frontage of the attraction was 300 feet, making the largest open air concession on the Pike. There were more electric lights used in this concession than in any three others, and from its brilliancy it is known as Fairyland. The attraction also had the largest open-air concession at the Fair.

An attendant would hook the boat safely to the dock. Many souvenirs could be purchased.

The attraction had a moving pictures of a prize fight to entice Pike-goers to enter.

The two restaurants on each side were the largest in the grounds with their roof gardens. The ticket sellers are the famous four Beautiful Women who were selected as the four most beautiful women in St. Louis.

Shoot the Chutes was a free attraction with the various venders paying a fee to sell their wares, but to riding the Chutes 10 cents ({{Inflation|US|.10|1904|fmt=eq}}).
