Great Old Amusement Parks is a grand video that captures both the history and excitement of older amusement parks around the country! They pick the best rides and sites at each park! I really liked the interviews with Park owners/managers which show their love for their respective parks! This is a must own for any amusement park fan!

An hour long show about great old amusement parks. Lots of info, good interveiws, and a lot of fun. By the way, for the 12 year old form MA, Lincoln Park was in New Bedford until it closed. My mother had ridden their coaster many times, my grandfather grew up in New Bedford. If you drive by, I think there is still part of the coaster left.

It was fun to watch the old rides that are still in amusement parks, and it had good interviews of those who run old amusement parks. The length could have been longer. I was suprized that it didn't mention the almost 200 yr old park that existed in our area. It was called Lincoln Park and it had alot of the old rides they discussed in the video.

I LOVED THIS TAPE! IF YOU REMEMBER RIDES LIKE THE CATAPILLAR OR
THE WHIP, THEN THIS ONE IS FOR YOU. IT TAKES YOU TO MANY OLDER
PARKS THAT HAVE MANAGED TO KEEP UP WITH "ROLLER COASTER PARKS".
NOSTALGIC AMERICANA- A FUN PLACE TO RETURN TO AGAIN AND AGAIN!

Another PBS great show. Its interesting to see how "theme parks" have grown from what they once were and how sometimes simplicity can be more fun. Takes you to many great parks and makes you want to get up and go there in person. Great fun to watch!
