The old western Iron Horse railroad. The Native American village, the man panning for gold, The dragon in the cave, and the tunnel with the skeletons and the man breaking his shovel over his knee, and the dead miners from a cave in. Those were the days.

Is that sound actually part of the video? Sounds like it was just layered over it, especially considering it was 1964

That's the park I knew and remember fondly.

not one cage went over the top. losers!

Did the park close in 1978 or 1979?

Charles I.D.Looff built some of the most beautiful carousels in the world. Most notably his machines in East Providence Rhode island and at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and the machine up in Spokane WA along with his historic 1905 Looff carousel that formally operated at Whitney's Playland at the Beach in San Francisco. He built around 40 carousels in his career and only around 6 are left operating in the USA and one in Toronto Canada

Wow I remember this ride. thanks for posting. thought this park was so much better than Rock Point

Thank You Mr. Simmons for taking me back to such great memories of my favorite amusement park !!!!!

I wish we had a POV of this ride! Only photos exist of the inside! What I’d give to see this Bill Tracy masterpiece

Lil Joe! He was a great guy!

@2:24 the cars were still there in the 70s and 80s

Remember when this was America’s greatest era.

Remember when this was America ?

America at its finest

America at its finest

Imagine owning one of the cars today ?

When America was America

When America was America

The same ride was at Lincoln Park in Dartmouth Mass. ( The flying cages ). Those were great rides.

That was awesome!

This is really my favourite Channel! Thanks for your nice Videos, it is very enlightening, Waiting for your latest update. Candlebrook Crescent Park

My cousins and I could do this, but hard work.

Thanks for posting this I couldn't remember which park had the boat ride. Now I remember the rest. Thanks for the jolt.

This is great for 1958! It is a shame that this is one more park gone.

When I was a kid, I could never do this. Bummer.

It's a great thing that the carousel still remains today in 2020, better than ever...

thanks for sharing amazing footage this park closed and was torn down a year after i was born

I was working at tango bingo when the Satellite came crashing down about three hrs, later it was out of the park.

Great memories

~If I Could Only Go Back, And Do It Again...

~I Was So Freak`n "Pissed" When They Closed Down, (Made It Comfortable To Be At Home, Is What It Was) ..I Remember Walking That, After It Was Closed Down, ((I've Come To Notice, That NO VIDEO'S Have The ECHO - REAR ENTRANCE WAY In Any Of The Recordings...!? ))

~Thank You, ~Thank You, ~Thank You! ; )

~When You're There, (or Were There,) It Seems Like Forever, And Then When You Get Here, It's Like A Snap Now That The Time Has Passed... (That Was My Rocky Point, ugh, Ya Mk'n ..Me Sd,)

~They Should've Named Them: - The Sweat Box, Or Something! ; )

~THANK YOU, Very Much! Nobody Today Will EVER Know How "GOOD" It Was, And The One's That "DO,, Know That We'll Never Get Those Days Back Again... ~I Was Very Fortunate To Experience CRESCENT PARK, And ALWAYS Went On About It Closing, & Would Always HOPE That Something Would Happen That Would Cause The Park To Reopen Again After Closing, , , Sadly, The Occasion Never Did Arise, And As Well, Video Can Never Truly Capture A Way Of Life, So True America No One Will Ever Know, Thank GOD For At Least Allowing Us To Have Our Moments, And Thank You For Trying To Keep Them Alive... T.Y. Respectfully! ( : Anyone Remember: DOTTI, or KENNY!? : )

Ayo rich boi check

Some footage contains Oakland Beach Carousel and a Looff Carousel.

Beautiful memories here, thank you!!

THANK YOU, MR. SIMMONS!! This video is a Treasure! I practically grew up at Crescent Park and have tried to keep it alive in my mind for many, many years.......this video took me through a walk down memory lane and brought a tear to my eye. Thank you again for your foresight to have filmed this era, where the ladies still wore dresses and handbags....what a wonderful time. PLUS, your film of the Carousel is such a treat. I rode on that from the time I had to be lifted into the seat until I would go with a group of friends as a teen and catch the brass ring ( which I did, I might add on several occasions ). Thank you again.

1:00 footage now at WRC collection.

I remembered all those rides. my favorite was the Satellite. I also like the Trabant. that ride came later in the early 60's.

cool

wow great video. i freakin' love old videos of theme parks not only that but its like a treasure to find dark rides like this. do you by any chance have or know of any other footage in side the actual ride its self. from what i hear it was quite the ride at the time.

Hello! Nice video by the way, but can you enlighten me about a certain Beanie baby that's purple pink and has a symbol on the left chest revealing the earth and "2000" underneath it, idk what the name is but if you can please get back to me that would be awesome!-thank you

I remember the advertising for this park from when I was a kid. Sadly, we never visited, we always hit Rocky Point, also gone.

Beautiful!

Sweet

Sweet

Could never do this!!!! Lol

Anyone know the history of it's closing? I know it closed years before the park did so did it burn down or was it demolished?
