Steve!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU
the 'shows' stock footage is the Broadway cast of 1977 in Santa Clara
forgot there was that much recorded, and to see it again gave me chills
and made me feel like I was right back there on that stage doing those routines
thanks again

Re: New MGA footage youtube find
Hmmm just wanted to say - this is a great video
however, it must have been taken over several years
the "Tidal Wave" wasnt added till the 2nd or 3rd year.
so the films must be a compelation of the 1st 2 or 3 years the park opened
still a great film
thanks

1976 my 1st moment
:D my 1st moment entering Marriott's Great America in Santa Clara was in the winter of 1976, that's right BEFORE the park had opened. I was so fortunate to be chosen among 1800 auditions to be the 1st Great America Singer in the Grand Music Hall. We were all so proud and happy to work in the shows, ...
