FEVER DREAM Marriott's Great America 1979 TV Special

[@AmusementLabs]

You're never too old to die of cardiac arrest on Tidal Wave!

[@AirtimeProductions]

_Your videos never fail to make me laugh!_

[@CZsWorld]

I always assumed Turn of the Century had an airtime hill where the loops now are, but this is the first time I've seen it I think. It feels wrong looking a Whizzer without trees, like it's naked or something.

[@ZeroCreditsRemaining]

Stupid sexy Whizzer

[@bruceaskew2107]

@@ZeroCreditsRemaining 🤣🤣🤣🤣, that comment is epic , yes imma simpsons fan as well

[@ProfessorIgor]

yes, and they were EPIC.. Demon is still one of the best themed coasters ever made, but those ejectors were fantastic on TotC

[@seanmaurer2772]

This was both the peak of Great America and television

[@ThrillSeekersandHellRaisers]

Its great to see Sky Whirl! I rode it back in 2000!

[@boop8127]

I remember this show.

[@thomcarey1971]

Yes… I’ve watched this special. I also went to the park in Santa Clara when it first opened in ‘76. I worked here in 1987-89 in the games area, the games warehouse, and as a t-shirt airbrush artist. Great… and horrible memories all at once… 😂 I was actually the Amazing Alfredo…

[@bigbadbyrnes]

I have now watched each of your videos. Pls create more. The bell has been rung.

[@ferretmom76]

Marriott's Great America TV special was... special.

[@mikes6457]

Fantastic video. I laughed heartily. 10/10 for entertainmen.

[@boop8127]

Tidal wave was awesome

[@theheardtheorem]

My God, this channel is my everything!

[@todayisyesterdaystomorrow6948]

This is so good

[@badgerstatecoasters7725]

You're never too old! Staring Lisa Hartman, Dr. Hook, Lil Phantom and Knuckles featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series plus new Funky mode

[@eschitown2s553]

The little kid dressed up was supposed to be the actor Karl Malden who did American Express traveler's cheques commercials in the 70s and 80s. Must say they did a spot on job because the kid looks exactly like him.

[@ZeroCreditsRemaining]

Thank you for the context! I should have thought to look that up, it was almost too random for everything else going on in this special.

[@ZygalStudios]

Love your videos! Your humor gets me 🤣 Also side note, the Demon was my first roller coaster and it is special to me too.

[@tech83studio38]

So I rode the tidal wave in 90 or 91 scared the crap out of me at 8 years old 😆 that famous " Ching" and there you go.

[@ZeroCreditsRemaining]

I’m working hard on a video about Yankee Harbor and I’ve been researching Tidal Wave a lot. It’s fascinating. I only got to ride it at Kentucky Kingdom when it was Greezed Lightnin’.

[@tech83studio38]

@@ZeroCreditsRemaining oh cool it survived! I look forward to your updates 😀

[@rushmgl]

“IS IT HEALTHCARE??” Oh man 😂

[@todayisyesterdaystomorrow6948]

Can you maybe look over all the ads over the years a great America

[@ZeroCreditsRemaining]

I would love to make videos about ads in general, so yes!

[@todayisyesterdaystomorrow6948]

Thank you great America is also my home park so I appreciate the videos on it anti-love to learn about its history

[@RavenCap0807]

Wow! At 7:32, what drugs did they do when they thought that this would be a good idea.... 🤔 Awesome video BTW!!

[@DAZARI0]

XD when you joined the dance on beat >>>>>>

[@ferretmom76]

I didn't know that about Turn of the Century/Demon. I've only ridden it as Demon. I did, however, get to ride Tidal Wave back in the day and was on Sky Whirl many times.

[@FreihEitner]

Clearly whoever came up with that "special" had previously worked on the "Star Wars Holiday Special". The "music" is eerily similar to the acrobats scene from SW: HS.

[@ZeroCreditsRemaining]

Holy crap, you’re on to something!

[@jaredlucas4815162342]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@itskylelucas]

this ending made me so happy to have great america as a home park. 💙 but like mostly wtf your yt is massively underrated?

[@itskylelucas]

like this is the great america content i needed.

[@jaredlucas4815162342]

This was great!

[@KentuckianaCoasters]

I live for your MGA vids! Sky Whirl was tops!

[@severinjohn]

Sounds like "The Main Event" soundtrack.

[@foleyas9669]

They weren't on drugs, it was the 70's so it was made for people on drugs. Good video btw

[@CoasterNerd]

This is one of the most bizarre things related to Amusement Parks I've seen, and I've seen the Flight of Fear preshow.

[@phoenixshade3]

Yeah? How about the Disaster Transport post-show? Welcome to Alaska!

[@curlesscoasters8279]

I’m gonna learn the opening choreography and do it in hometown square and confuse everyone

[@ZeroCreditsRemaining]

Oh hell yeah!

[@jackrough5784]

Not me re-watching this for like the 50th time 🤭

[@BlueInkOgre]

You had me laughing so hard! This is the first video I've watched of yours; you've got a new subscriber and I have a backlog to work through! :D

[@bigbadbyrnes]

amazing content, it's an outrage you have less than 15-30k subs

[@boop8127]

Been going since it was opened. My poor parents were tortured

[@airtimehillzone]

5:01 is that an ice skate on the left?

[@nickgiovanni6518]

The band 1979 from 🇬🇧

[@ZeroCreditsRemaining]

🎉 wooo!

[@ClothoidLooper]

We stan Tidal Wave and its clothoid goodness.

[@ZeroCreditsRemaining]

Thank you for the suggestion, I can’t wait to watch that! I love Kings Island.

[@ChuckE.CheesesIllinois]

14:18 oh shit it's the El Chavo del Ocho theme!

[@ZeroCreditsRemaining]

Woah it is! It’s a cover of it, by the sounds of it to me.

[@angelguerrero7850]

I know this is an old video but did the mexican comedy "El chavo del Ocho" take the music from here as the theme song or did they take the theme song from all "El chavo del Ocho" to use in this special? In the montage of the kids eating

[@The_Fat_Hipster]

Where did you view the original footage?

[@ZeroCreditsRemaining]

KZbin

[@mmocken]

1976 Gurnee MGA ABC special is fun too... kzbin.info/www/bejne/gammdp-vrsh0jaM

[@hangtimechills3217]

Just casually throws in Yoshi’s Island map theme at 7:10 and 8:10

[@DuecePiece]

I've never been to Lake Geneva 😡

[@MillenniumForceMan]

I’ll I think this would turn more ppl away from the park

[@KICoasterGuy]

Hey man what camera are you using for these? Looks really great.

[@ZeroCreditsRemaining]

Thanks! I think almost anybody can make decent videos on KZbin with very little. It’s just my iPhone 8 on a mini tripod. One ring light to the side and some color LEDs on the other which has mixed results. I need to start covering the window behind me too. Lighting and sound quality are more important to me at the moment.

[@Jillousa]

I wonder if the maker of this video is old enough to remember what a traveler's check is!😂

[@ZeroCreditsRemaining]

Thank you 😅

[@XZPLSSUB]

Is your profile picture LightningRun?

[@ZeroCreditsRemaining]

Yep yup

[@mikiemayo]

SEND HELPPP

[@stanton1270]

This special of SFMM isn't as weird as this one but its definitely cool to see some of the removed attractions still in operation kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWO2oaKYeJibi6s

[@ZeroCreditsRemaining]

Yo!!! I pretty much only remember the editing on this one, it’s insaaaaaane 😅 Yeah, the footage is really cool.

[@mcass777]

The little kid with the imaginary traveler's check is a take off on the Karl Malden American Express commercial. Rob Weller pre Entertainment Tonight. Produced by the then ABC7 Chicago weather man John Coleman who went on to start the Weather Channel. Go figure.

[@bruceaskew2107]

dat song did slap doe bro 💯 🤣🤣🤣,,,,,, fuck dat broke ass dejavu lol

[@ZeroCreditsRemaining]

Legitimately too good for this special 😆

[@hilly1122]

WAIT Are these weird Benjamin button wannabes the original inspiration for Mr 6??!!?! I'm ashamed to admit I've seen this program in its entirety once before and never connected the creepy prosthetic dots
