OMG... memories! I grew up going to this park when it was called Deer Park Funland, so this is awesome. I live in Florida now, so seeing old footage of the park is a treat (and... WZZM!).
Roger's daughter, Camille Jourden-Mark (who you see running the train), still runs the park today which has since been renamed (of course) Michigan's Adventure.
At the beginning the video the lady you see at the start of the video is Ann Alward who was an anchor on on wzzm back during the 1980's I watched wzzm back in the 1980's when I lived in South west Michigan.

Still channel 13 news too lol
My kids were just there today. Fun knowing the memories of yesterday and what it is today. Kids don't believe it.
I got bit by one of those deer. Wasn't too long after that they got rid of the deer. 😢
I LOVED Deer Park and miss it. ❤
I grew up with Deer Park and Pinery Park Little League went there a lot. Thanks for all the great memories.
I remember going there before and after loggers run. Always did the corkscrew as the last ride 😊
Me too. I was just there yesterday. It's still fun!
And Logger's Run is still there, or at least it was the last time I went there, which was around 10 to 12 years ago.
It's always cool to see what my hometown looked like before I was born.

The Jordan family sold Michigan's adventure to Cedar fair in 2000 or 2001 and the Jordan family is set for life.
