Here is an overview of the, very simple, attraction:

It was a suspension bridge that you entered through Big Bird's mouth.

The bridge would give you spectacular views of the (then) three acre park.
To give you some perspective: the Big Bird head was located at what was the front of the park in 1980. Today it would be the center of the park.
Take a look at the Google Maps image below of the park today. I inserted the early 1980s image on it and numbered a few corresponding locations. Make sure and note the park entrance in both images:

As the park expanded the bridge was removed. The Big Bird head remained (with the mouth closed) as a photo spot until it was replaced with the Sunny Day Carousel in 2008.
