I also have a MPEG2 @ DVD Quality of the 3 minute segment that I can send to people upon request. It is 150MB MPEG2 that was sourced from the RAW DTV (HDTV) Broadcast Stream.

Thanks for posting it!
I like the video, but I wish they put more focus on the old multimedia...
You know, not the 1/2 second videos of the 70s multimedia, and 10 seconds of Deja vu...
Either way, I'm glad they made it

Thanks for sharing that! I wish that they had focused more on the historic stuff. Seems like they didn't want to show more than a second or two of the classic stuff at a time.

It also seems they didn't want to even say the original name, maybe a reason they also cut most of the audio short..., Also everything's in black and white, which just annoys me, but Oh Well I guess...

I was hoping for more history stuff too...also thought it was funny that they have 20-somthing girls telling the 30 year old history of the park.

I would like to see what hit the "cutting room floor" from this piece. I am sure there is all kinds of stuff that didn't make it to air that they gathered to produce this 3mins.

I liked the piece for what it was. I wish the segment was longer and focused on the history. I would have also liked to see some more older footage. It was cool seeing some behind the scenes footage. Im surprised the park still has old things like the Fort Fun sign. Its pretty cool that the same guy is still doing signs and horses. Thanks for sharing the video aejanis!

Nice work on the capture. I missed this on TV, was good to see it

It wasn't a bad retrospective, but I think you'd probably need about 1/2 hour feature to do this park justice over 30 years...

That was pretty good. Thanks for posting that!

Glad you put it here because I missed seeing it on Channel 5.

Thanks, I liked that. It was kinda funny that they didn't have someone "older" that maybe had been there at the beginning. Are no original employees left?

Was there any news coverage in S.C.?

Thanks so much for sharing this!!!

I remember seeing a lot of those "retired" signs throughout the warehouses and the sign shop. They keep a LOT of stuff on hand. I guess, just in case.
