GREAT OLD AMUSEMENT PARKS On a Hot Summer day, there may be no better place on earth than a traditional amusement park. A place where you can hop on a classic wooden coaster, reach for the ring as you whirl by on the merry-go-round, or cool down on the Caterpillar. In this documentary, you get to visit some of America's most charming parks from Lake Compounce in Connecticut to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk in California. You get to gallop on the Derby Racer at Playland, go with the flow on the Boat Chute at Lake Winnepesaukah, and rock on Deno's Wonder Wheel at Coney Island. And of course there are coasters, including the Thunderbolt at Kennywood, the Cyclone at Astroland, the Raven at Holiday World, and San Diego's Giant Dipper!
Exciting Extra (only on DVD) include A look at long gone West View Park near Pittsburgh, Stories about Olympia Park and RainbowGardens near McKeesport, PA, Rare footage of Kennywood Park on the Westinghouse Air Brake Company Picnic Day 1941, and MORE!
