Can anyone confirm for me that such a thing actually existed and that I'm not making things up in my mind?

I have a vague recollection of a kid's movie from my childhood (in the 70's or possibly early 80's). I'm 99% sure that it ran on PBS (Channel 13 in New York). I have absolutely no memory of what it was about and have doubts as to whether I ever even watched it all the way through. I think I may have just flipped to the channel looking for Sesame Street or something.

I think it had something to do with kids going to some magical land (a la Wizard of Oz or Narnia) and the magical land was represented by The Yum Yum Palace. I don't think I had much interest in the movie at the time but I stopped on the channel and said to myself "Hey, that's Great adventure! What gives?"

Please, someone tell me the name of this thing and reassure me that I wasn't just tripping on a sugar high of Twinkies, Pop Rocks and Kool Aid.

I don't know, it could have been that sugar!

I don't recall that movie.

The only time I recall seeing Great Adventure on PBS, was an episode of "Reading Rainbow". The "Great American Scream Machine" and "Super Teepee" were featured prominently.
