Everything seemed so much cleaner & far more interest taken in presenting the town, shame the council cant be bothered any more.

Good times back then, all the rides worked, the world wasn't perfect, but it was simpler, less greed back then.

And today it's half UNDER WATER because of the sea levels rising. Oh, wait. Nope! It's exactly like it was 100 years ago. Guess those sea levels aren't really rising. Big lie.

Good documentary! It’s amazing & once again proves (to me) what I’ve always thought-People are Awful & I got No use for new York.

Whatever year it was filmed just up the coast the then Windscale was pumping "low level" nuclear waste into the Irish sea a bi product of refining uranium to make nuclear weapons not electricity so cheap that you won't have to meter it. Politicians lied back then as now. Great days though if you could have saved a few bob for the seaside trip or even holiday. I'd say more early fifties with later stuff to early sixties if my memory is correct! Thank you for posting this film.

It always felt like all they had to do was modify the trains and restraints and it would have been safe enough but maybe not

We went every year in the fifties and early sixties to see the lights and there were puppet shows along the seafront. Loved it

I could see B&M making something like this for Kings Dominion. It would make up for the new Anaconda judging by the color of the track that came out of the Clermont Steel Factory

It's interesting to see that Universal not only wanted to build a theme park in Orlando Florida USA, but also in London. That's something I didn't even know Universal wanted to build one in the United Kingdom as well. But I do understand why some people were concerned about the animals, not to mention the environment and the land being bulldozed by the company itself. But looking back at it now nearly 35 years later, I wouldn't be surprised if Universal does attempt to do it again sometime in the future, despite an airport taking that spot for airline transportation and such.

I stumbled upon this vidéo, i did operate the thing a few days back in 2017, it was so old school but funny, and now that Walygator invested in a retracking , and new trains this year... A very enjoyable classic

We came from Liverpool as kids for 6 years in a row from 1995, we spent the whole journey excited and played a game of who could spot the bullet first as we got closer. I wanted to go on it from the age of about 6 and even though I was too small I would stand on the back of my trainers to make myself just big enough to ride 😅

Great to see this wonderful old film of Blackpool and the Lake District. Nice to see the Tower, Woolworth's building, North Pier and the Winter Gardens looking almost the same as now, but it's amazing how different Central and South Piers looked. Great to see the old trams. Blackpool was lucky to keep them, when everywhere else got rid of theirs. Now some can be enjoyed as part of the Heritage fleet. Great music from the Wurlitzer which can still be enjoyed in the beautiful Tower Ballroom. Great footage from the top of the Tower. Thank you for sharing. Xxx

Not condoning it at all..but wen it comes to the paid ladies of lust..ppl act like they’re so disgusted by them..yet why are they always in business? Some men can be so hypocritical about it..Even Men in power had their special lil secret lady friends, catering only to elite circles, they never had to walk the streets or dress scantily clad, but nonetheless their services were used by upper class men, especially married ones 😮 In public some ppl displayed high morality and judgement, in private most indulged to temptation at least once! Courtesans, concubines, harems, consorts, mistresses, and so on, throughout history men have always needed certain type of women for certain private activities. Whether they resided in imperial palaces or private apartments paid by men..It’s so funny to hear the repulsive tone describing those type women wen so many types of men used their services 🤷🏻♀️
