Como Park in the 1970's

Como Town Amusement Park is located in St. Paul, Minnesota. This footage (from my Parent's old #8mm #super8 home video collection) is from the early 1970's. Thanks for looking! Please subscribe! #ComoTown #ComoPark #AmusementPark #OldHomeVideos

I have been combing the internet for years to find any kind of footage or pictures of the park's old Wild Mouse coaster. Yours is the first to show up! It is literally easier to find any other defunct roller coaster in the world than this coaster at Como. Thank you so much for finally ending my search! I grew up in MN and visited these amusements many times as a kid.

I grew up on Selby and Snelling. 1967-1980. My wife and I spent the day in the conservatory just yesterday. I remember Seal Island, Sparky, The Wild Mouse and the horror of building one where they imprisoned the Giant Tortoise and the large cats pacing their cages.

I remember seeing the big cats in the small cages. Thanks for sharing!

Anyone have a clue what happened to the cars that were at 1:33 of this video ? Also looking for the train that went around the outer edge of the park - the Comet .Would like pics of these .

[@stephanieokke7280]

Old St Paul Minnesota group has a post that has pictures of the train

I guessing that this Amusement park is a shopping center now?

[@RJSerp]

The amusement park is still there!

[@scottschramel2846]

Holy Moly, do you want a (semi-depressing) trip down Memory Lane? All the basic infrastructure is still there...worth the visit,...but, center yourself ahead of the time warp you'll find.

[@RJSerp]

Yup! I'm the little kid in the vid... Thank You!
