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.

Who here went to scenic park irl and they told you to go watch this there

I'm gonna steal that blackbox joke. 😂

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.

Found out the other day that Jeff Hill is my housemates coworkers grandfather.

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.

The music is drowning out the narration

Into my heart an air that kills from yon far country blows.......

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

Negative heartline.

STOCKHOLM SWEDEN ALSO HAS THEIR OWN CONEY ISLAND, IT CALLED DJURGÅRDEN CHECK IT OUT😁

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

The park has not been the same since his passing.

Thorpe's secret weapon huh?

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

Thks clown reminded me of Dame Edna Everage 😅😂

Too sad about topsie may she rest i. Peace

I remember seeing this on TV as a kid and couldn't wait for it to open...still waiting. 🇦🇺

They actually ruined this ride

Hello I am your newest member I got it from a birthday present, cannot wait for my first meet up with you guys

THV Patricia. My first ship

So cool!

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.

Central station @ 13:05

The music in this video kinda sucks

well this is nostalgia overload

I must say the wurlitzer came across wonderful on the track.Thank you

Mr.Baker is making me watch this

Everything until 4:47 just goes to prove that the original experience this ride sported must have been sensory heaven for the older kids. All of it needs to return.

i grew up watching this documentary on a vhs my dad taped over, i am so grateful to be able to watch it again

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 😅

Welp...

This video is so amazing. Universal studios is the best park 👍👍👍🛫✈️🛬🌍🌎🌏 🙂🙂🙂🙂😁

E.t has the best theme 👽🚲

👍

This is still the best quality vintage original footage of this ride that exists, thank you so much!!

Basically, Coney Island started out as a hangout spot for lowlifes but gradually was transformed into one of the greatest amusement parks in the world.

Awesome days lost in time

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

This is so valuable

Fabulous rollercoaster

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 🤷🏻‍♀️

FYI: This is an edited version of this documentary which was intended for broadcast in less than one hour. the full documentary is actually 68 minutes. You get the full thing on DVD.

The floats were amazing . Shame there are no more carnivals due to the killjoys of this country .

The music is too loud on this video 🙂

The council 😤😤😤😤😤. Gosh this makes me so mad!!!!!!
