Archive - Funfair Pull On Wickham 2000

From the video archives I've dug out this footage of the Wall family pulling on the rides to Wickham in Hampshire, way back May 2000. I was up at 5am to capture them pulling in to the Square.
It features the build up of fold out dodgems, waltzer, miami, orbiter and meteorite.
Wickham Fair and Horse fair is one of the oldest Royal Charter fairs in the UK.

[@MarcusGainesCoasterTouring]

May only be 20 years ago, but agree it looks proper old already.

what is so god about a Waltzer

[@ThemeParkWorldTour]

Quality nostalgia, love it, may I ask what camera you were using back then!? V nicely and professionally shot as always btw.

[@MarcusGainesCoasterTouring]

Theme Park World Tour from memory it was a Sony Hi8 handy cam. Honestly can't remember. I have it on a Sony SX tape, I definitely didn't shoot it on one of those so must have done a transfer at some point. It's interesting looking at my shooting style all those years ago.

[@MarcusGainesCoasterTouring]

Theme Park World Tour you can also see what use to be my bedroom window in some of the shots.

[@ThemeParkWorldTour]

Ha! Only a short hop to the shoot! Great to see anyway, you got some slightly better kit these days but think it looks pretty good.
