It was so cool of you videoing this this is history . Had so much fun there growing up

[@lowellfultz1990]

So much to like about this video. Not only the childhood memories, but seeing a parent taking such interest in their children. Becoming more and more rare all the time. Good dad you are sir!

I just across that video. Very familiar with the park through the Coney purchase and Couch....

[@Johnflaxman974]

Went there every summer from 81 to 92. Never had a better time anywhere else as a kid. Really sad that it's gone.

[@weberreview2221]

thank you for sharing. Americana was a great little amusement park. Kind of sad that it died, but understandable. It's great to have these images.

It's coming back Monroe got a plan of 10 million dollars and they're gonna put a park back there again it's all over the news

[@v8hotrodlincoln]

Your video definitely takes me back... my heart hurts for what Americana has become.... people fly drones over the old abandoned park, KZbin Americana drone ... weird they even drained the lake... its now a grassy field.... our family used to go there quite often when i was younger...

My first time here was way back in the 80’s when Fantasy Farm was still open

[@sunspotbaby1962]

I loved both parks, went there from the 60s until they each closed.

Grew up going there. My birthday is August 10th. I would have been 8 when this was filmed

[@MissAmazanda]

I guess my memory is a bit off I didn't realize Americana was still around in 1998, I was 18 that year so maybe i was too busy to notice but I definitely remember that place

[@SerTehery]

I was going to go back in 1999 but it was closed so we did are first time at Kings Island. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LeSourdsville_Lake_Amusement_Park

[@stateofdisorder1]

MissAmazanda they reopened for a small time after the fire but they didn't make the money they used to and had to close.

[@casbear7736]

Haha cool dads are the best

[@StarAnnasDream]

Took my kids when they were little! 'It was more of an Indiana Beach or Coney Island type park. Small, reasonable,geared to kids & families

[@dwightmcqueen5771]
