It was the Best. We used to go every summer when Goodyear treated all the employees and families to a day at the best park. I liked it better than Cedar Point

Nice video, I would guess its from the early 2000 years?

It’s beyond DISGUSTING that it was closed forever! It was a Temple of young happiness. For me, a tribute to the Golden 70s, and the freedom we once had. It’s ridiculous that the state didn’t step in and do something! This wasn’t just some business. There was no other place on Earth like it! To an 8 year old in 1978, it was PARADISE!

Oh man the memories! Thank you

Wow some very cool pieces of vintage video history. The video editor looks almost identical to the score board controller at the ice rink i skate at.

I was there this night. Rita was good

I recognize the end - at Summitville

I railfan in Lowellville on a daily basis and nothing as changed expect the bridge

I’m still trying to find footage of the funhouse. That place was a deathtrap.

What Tower is at 7:37? What city is that? Thank you.

Good videos!

i live incredibly close to the starting location of this video, literally a small walk up the road, so fucking cool

Noticed the lead locos for the NYC & The PRR trains did not have their headlights on...........

A little kid from the Erie Lackawanna on the Delaware River

This is sooo cool 😎 👌 thanks for a great video

Interesting to see the mill where Hope Depot is now.

Glad to see the Mighty Pennsylvania Railroad represented.

1:24 what happened

Thanks for reliving the cyclone.I grew up going to Williams Grove.In the late 80s,nobody there,so the attendant let us ride that coaster until WE TOLD him to stop.Lasted about an hour.GOOD TIMES.😊

I grew up on Orange Street and would cross the tracks just west of the Chestnut St crossing on my way to school. Cool video.

Nice view of Towners woods so much has changed there

Thanks for putting this up.

My aunt and uncle lived basically at the entrance to this park . My aunt's son used to run different rides . I spent a lot of time at this park . Wish it was still around !

Wow, I used to love going here as a kid

Ouch

I was surprised to learn that this thing never had any upstop wheels

When was this video made

This is a great video taken by the actual crew. You don’t see much of that around.

Wow, looks like XC Tower had just been demolished not too long before. Can see all the rubble off to the left hand side when crossing the diamond.

What River is that at 2:40? This video is priceless!! Where NY-100 and CX-99 once roamed!

You guys are after my heart. Always loved passenger trains.

Wow. I know Ray and live in Cleveland. Did you buy that in the Cleveland area?

Rest in Peace, big blue. Grew up along the Ohio river, right across from the Cleveland to Pittsburgh main.

I wonder if this train went threw whiting Indiana down the Conrail Chicago Amtrak line?

I love hearing that old GE working

Brings back memories. Fun place during a shitty childhood. Funny I see no fat people there. I miss the 80's

Ran this line for 23 years seen stuff I didn’t know 👍

What type of locomotive?

This video is like a time machine

RIP to mr con(the big blue)rail 4:20

Thanks for posting this park on my childhood. Footage of this park seems very rare!

Does anyone know if the cpl,s at the north end of this line are active. To bad this line was removed from south of Urichville to Wheeling West Virginia.

This brings back memories for sure around downtown Erie and appreciate the cab ride view. Ever know a conductor Gurski who ran Clev-Buff and usually ran NPSE?

FORMER CSX B&O NEWCASTLE SUB ? DID THEY REROUTE THEY'RE TRAINS ,OR STOP RUNNING THEM ??

I remember this park, my dad ran the helicopters for one season, my brother and I had a ball there.

It was thrilling but brutal...

My goodness the memories this brings back. Thanks for sharing!

Looks like a former New York Central mainline to me! Love this video.
