That's cool, what part did you play? Glad the video brought back some good memories, thanks for watching!

@@NolanBuchanan i didn't have a main role, i was in the chorus. but i was very into it and i wound up doing a project on william clark the following year because this musical had made me so interested in the story!

Mine too! I'm glad I got to share it with my kids before it closed. At least my grandkids can still ride the LibertyLand carousel at the Memphis Children's Museum.

Believe me, so does this UGA fan. And every other SEC fan too.

Me too! Great memories!

¿Qué quieres decir?

Great question! The blue coaster in the distance is Alpengiest. The yellow one closer to us is Loch Ness Monster, I believe. Drachen Fire was removed from that park in 1998.

I'm sure they had fireworks there on occasion, but unfortunately LibertyLand closed in 2005.

That place had a lot of great memories, thanks for sharing yours! Hope you enjoyed the video.

That Nokia had that swivel clip for your belt so it hung there like a six-shooter. LOL I loved the Mid-South Fair at the fairgrounds. The only thing I didn't like about LibertyLand during the fair was every ride cost tickets. They were free with admission other times. Thanks for watching and sharing your memories!

Thanks for watching and sharing your memories! I agree, being with loved ones and making memories is what makes the holidays so special. Those toys are long gone, but the memories live on. I have several other Christmas memories videos, please feel free to check them out and comment if you'd like.

I miss it too, we didn't know what we had until it was gone. Thanks for watching!

The band is probably never playing Dixie again. But you can hear it anytime you want on my channel!

I think it's the H.T. Burleigh arrangement.

It really was. Thank you for your comment!

Glad to! I have more, just have to find the time to upload them. Stay tuned!

LOL - Actually, two of them are dads now. My wife and I have 4 grandkids. :)

Thank you for watching!

Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks!

Thank you!

Well I gotten 2 of the original Wiggles dolls a Murray and Greg that day when this video happened.

@@cameron_0023 That's a great memory! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks for sharing mate.

@@MrLyosea Thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! LibertyLand was a big part of my childhood too, I'm glad I got to share it with my kids while it was still open.

Thank you for your kind comment! It was a really nice Christmas. These boys are all grown now and are married and having kids of their own, but we're still a close family.

"From Dixie With Love/Slow Dixie" was banned from the stadium in 2009, but was still played elsewhere until the 2016 season. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for sharing your memories, and for watching mine. 🙂

Agreed, they were great times.

If you like Dixie, all of my POTS videos feature them playing it. My son was in the band until 2015, the last year they played Dixie. Thanks for your comment!

That is what happens when the South doesn't learn its true history and lets Yankees brow beat them into believing Yankee lies. The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it!" George Orwell "Surrender means that the history of this heroic struggle will be written by the enemy; that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers their version of the War; will be impressed by all the influences of history and education to our gallant dead as traitors, and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision!" General Patrick Cleburne, CSA The role of slavery became the proclaimed cause of [Lincoln's] war because it was necessary to put the South at a moral disadvantage by transforming the contest from a war for independence into a war waged for the maintenance and extension of slavery!" Woodrow Wilson, US President

Thanks for your comment. I don't know what resolution you're watching it at, but it's available in 1080p HD. Did you try adjusting the resolution with the little gear in the bottom right corner?

Memphis has a great zoo, but it is a shame we couldn't have both. Sadly, this story is the same for a lot of smaller theme parks around the country.

It was definitely a strange time to try to be festive, I remember our family events were a little lower key than usual, but we tried to make it as fun as possible for our boys.

Thanks for your request. Unfortunately, my videos date from 2012-2016, when my son was in choir at Ole Miss. I don't have any Ole Miss choir videos from before 2012.

@@NolanBuchanan Can we get more videos about New Year’s Eve?

@@rickythemariopokemonfanmed3553 sorry, I don't think i have any. Thanks for watching anyway! :-)

Thanks for sharing your memories of Libertyland! It wasn't the biggest or fanciest park, but it was a great place to make memories.

The short answer is: money. The park had lost money for several years, it's final year it was about half of a million dollars in the red. Also, it was city funded and on city-owned land, so the city was ready to use the land for a different use.

Thanks for sharing your memories of Libertyland! You are right, the Zippin Pippin was the wooden roller coaster there, although I don't have footage of it. You remember correctly about the train too, you can see us boarding it at 14:34 in the video. The Zippin Pippin was Elvis Presley's favorite ride, he would rent out the park at night in the 70's just to ride it over and over. The Pippin is the second oldest wooden roller coaster in the USA, and was sold and rebuilt in Green Bay, WI, where it is still in operation.

@@NolanBuchanan That's awesome! Im glad that the zippin pippin still exists at all. I honestly thought they just demolished everything. Also, the story about Elvis is really cool. I didn't know that, and it just proves how long Libertyland was around. I hate that I was way too young to really enjoy it, but I'm glad I have memories of it. Honestly crazy to think that memphis TN of all places had an amusement park like libertyland.

@@jamesmcmillian9890 They demolished most of the park, but the Revolution, the tubular steel coaster at Libertyland, is still in operation in an amusement park in the Philippines, and Libertyland's Grand Carousel is now at the Memphis Children's Museum, so at least the next generation of local kids can experience a part of Libertyland.
