This place was genius. Knowing the park can't run year round they had pool, bowling dancing and a roller rink to keep it going year round. Huanting and sad video but somehow it manages to trigger all the great times at the park. Were blessed we grew up in a time were we had so many choices. Drive ins, amusement parks, roller rinks, this generation missed all that.

Lincoln Park was my childhood

why wouldn't they rebuild it? didn't they make enough money from the almost 100 years of being open? that got me so mad. the sad thing is I live in Dartmouth and I know who burnt it down! but I think there in jail.

Chippewa Lake Amusement Park in Medina County Ohio has suffered the same fate as Lincoln Park-Look at it on You Tube-there is a tree that grew up right through the middle of the Ferris wheel

That Was Yesterday And Yesterday Is Gone.. As A Child My Family Drove From FR Every Sunday Aftr Mass.. Mom And Us Kids Layed Out On The Lawn Directly Behind The Giant billboard West Side Of The Parking Lot.. Ltr At The Age Of 11 My Family Moved To Westport.. From then On The Gang Would Hang Out At Lincoln Park.. Even In The Winter We d Hang At The Bowling Ally .. Fridays Saturdays & Sundays Evenings Was When My buddy's & I Would Hitch A Ride To Go Dancing At The Million Dollar Room.. That Park Was My Back Yard.. We Swam In The Dam Across The street Then Ran With towels And Shot Some Pool In The Bowling ally.. Ltr Aftr Discharge Age 20 I Landed A Job In Maint.. I Even Helped Build The Tea Cups, Were The Speed Boats Used To Be .. Thanks For All Those Memories.. JohnGz S..o0O .~ ~ UpInSmoke

Wow haven't seen the inside of this since i was a kid and that was before it bunt down.......

Goodbye Sweet Lincoln Park. As sad as it's been to see you slowly fading away, it's sadder still to know you're gone. Those of us that were fortunate enough to have known you will always remember you with love!

Destruction of The Comet happened yesterday, July 11, 2012.....a very sad day. You can check out a gallery of images I made from yesterday on my website:

Its all gone now.

GREAT story, thank you for sharing :)

Actually it will be torn down in the VERY near future :( they are building some sort of development there....it is very sad :( Thanks for watching, Dolly G

I'm 30 years old now and lived in D-Town all my Life .. have not been in the Park since 2001 a lot of it is just falling to the Ground but did go there as a little kid but anyways .. Are they gonna Keep the Roller Coaster UP ?? How is the TOWN letting that Go .. that's Nuts

ahhh i do wish they would save the park but its funny as hell at 0:15....... enter the vagina of hell.... lol

Well done. The music really adds to the depressing mood of it all; especially for those of us who remember being there. What makes it so creepy is the how scary it looks now, but at the time, it was full of fun, laughter and non-stop good times for so many people.

Thanks all :)

Nice vid albeit sad to watch.

i live like right down the street, and my dad's band used to play here years ago

I was just there today

Don't fool yourself...it's our own fault that places like this have died............. The modern world sucks.

I spent 2 summers in the mid 70's working at Lincoln Park. These pictures are so sad. It was a great place in its day. I only recognize a few buildings and of course, the roller coaster.

Super fantastic job with these photos even though they are really putting a damper on my childhood/teenage memories at the park. I actually rode the coaster one day before it had an accident when he back car slipped off the tracks. I also rode it continuously for about 45 minutes the last year that the Comet was operating. I remember there was one guy operating it that day and no line at all. I rode it about 55 times until my girlfriend at the time said "thats enough". Thanks 4 the post!

Too bad it wasn't open 100 years.It closed 3 years too early.

any 1 have videos or pics of the roller ring

I'm now selling Images from the Slideshow due to popular demand. Thanks for being so patient. Dolly G

nice photography....actually...great! I liked the B+W touch. I'm a former photographer frm the 90's. Last time I rode the coaster was around 1979. The music ppl comment about first reminded me of the soundtrack piece to Titanic. come to think of it - this is similar to Titanic - only we don't get to see Jack and Rose get together again.

How I miss this place. I grew up in Swansea, Mass. The summer wasn't complete without a day at Lincoln Park!!

Thank you Roxas for your nice words. Lincoln Park was a place to frequent with family and friends. It was a wonderful place that will be missed greatly. Bringing "Grandpa" along in the station wagon (beach wagon) was the thing to do. :)

Thank you everyone for your comments. I've been asked numerous times about the music. Unfortunately, I don't know who it is. I have a cd of music for making movies with no names on it...it's a copy. I even have a music teacher doing some research on it. So, if anyone finds out any info, please let me know! thanks, Dolly

Like I said on Cormak's video I remember this place and so wish I had the money to fix it and put it back to the way I remember it. I also wish I could get back to Mass just to look one last time. Awesome photos!!

It's crazy how much things have changed just since I shot pictures in the Fall of 2008 for my videos. I definitely need to head back again before all the leaves start growing. This was a very moving video. Gorgeous pictures.

beautiful and a litte haunting great snapshots
