      I basically do that every chance I get and get mad at myself when I don't or don't take advantage of an opportunity to do so. This coming from someone who still goes Trick or Treating in their 20s. The key is don't be afraid to do something because it goes against the so called norm.

    It looked indeed like a wellkept and neat park. And nice to see that there are oldfashioned parks thriving. I kind of prefer these videos sometimes to the ones from the large parks like Disney or Universal Studios. They kind of get a bit overwhelming, loud and extremly fast paced. *humms "follow the yellow bricked road"*

    Thank you so much im a big fan u are living out my dream. I grow up my grandmother .moved to Canada. Near a park called chrystal beach it closed 30 years ago. When my grandfather died my grandmother worked the park .so she can have free bingo. My whole childhood was going to the park for free. It was the most wonderful time of my life. So im glad you give me a glimpse of that

    • @racritiahobson4337
      @racritiahobson4337 4 роки тому +5

      I was a huge fan of Return to Oz because it was based off two of Frank Oz books "Land of Oz" and "Ozma of Oz" They really followed Frank Oz perspectives opposed to the Wizard of Oz movie. I enjoyed the 80's movies similar to that dark style--- Labyrinth, Neverending Story, and Dark Crystal. They all utilized puppetry rather than CGI what we're use to now. Thanks for pointing out these two significant characters.

    • @CreativeCreatorCreates

      I grew up with that movie. It haunted me and I still love it. But it is not really a KIDS movie lol (even thought it was marketed to it.) it’s in the same vibe as Neverending story. It was great, but dark.

    All jokes aside, this place looks interesting! I would probably just go immediately to Oz, but that’s me lol
    I would’ve grabbed whatever friends I brought and skipped down the Yellow Brick Road mindlessly singing ’we’re off to see the Wizard-’
    I recognized Tik-Tok, Jack Pumpkinhead, the Sawhorse, and I think that might’ve been Tip/Ozma, but I couldn’t be sure. Wonderful video!

    Great video! I love this attraction. I love anything Oz related. That movie was awesome. The books are good too. I've watched Return to Oz and it is nothing like the MGM movie. It is more dark. For example, Dorothy ends up in a psychiatric hospital because Auntie Em and Uncle Henry don't believe her when she says she's been to Oz. The doctor tries to use electric shock therapy on her and a thunderstorm makes the electricity go out and that's how she ends up in Oz. Much darker than the MGM film. But just as good and enjoyable. It's a cult classic. More like the books too. The MGM film took some creative liberties with the movie. Still, a great movie. A weird fact about the movie is that rumors abounded in some circles that in the scene where Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Man were walking off there was a munchkin that committed suicide. Turns out it was just a bird from the Los Angeles Zoo. Still, that is quite disturbing. In the older version, it looks like a body was hanging from a tree in the background, but in newer versions you can see that it was an animal on loan from the Los Angeles Zoo. It's weird how people have conspiracy theories about that. About anything really. Why can't life just be? Why do we have to have conspiracy theories like that. Ok, I'm ranting lol. Thanks for sharing, and have a great day!
