Titan fireworks rocket.

The size of a V-2, it's every kid's incendiary noisemaker fantasy. The adjacent fireworks store burned down in July 2014, but the charred rocket still stands.

USA Titan Fireworks Rocket

The fireworks store is closed but the "rocket" is still there, in a lot that looks deserted. The rocket is in serious need of repair.

[Bette, 08/24/2023]

A "who could've predicted?" explosion destroyed the fireworks business nearly 10 years ago and burned the rocket. Impressive that it still stands.

USA Titan Fireworks Rocket

August, 2022: Rusty rocket, Ferris wheels, and castle remain, along with a (seasonal, I guess) fireworks tent and Smokin' Butts BBQ shack. The area around the rocket is lightly roped off and includes several shipping containers. The BBQ was good but not fast. Interesting stop.

I saw this place as I was driving by on my annual road trip. No problem driving right in the middle of the property.

The grounds of this former fireworks compound were torched by a spectacular fire in July 2014.

I stopped to see the rocket and Ferris wheel on 6/24/16 and was surprised that the gate was unlocked and a large tent on the property was selling fireworks. Perhaps this is only seasonal, as the 4th of July was only two weeks away. Small signs posted near the road called it, "Ferris Wheel Fireworks."

Fireworks stores: you can't kill 'em. We actually appreciate the rocket and its surviving structures better now, after they'd been scorched by flames.
