New MGA footage youtube find
I need a great day this year, or 2, or 30!
Re: New MGA footage youtube find
Hey that's a great find! Thanks for sharing!
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

Re: New MGA footage youtube find
Another great find. I was thinking the same thing regarding the Tidal Wave -- that's didn't come in until '77 or '78 -- some of the footage shows it and some doesn't. Definitely shot over a couple of year. Still very neat to see the park back when it was new.
Different looking crowds back then too.

Re: New MGA footage youtube find
That's exactly what I was thinking as well. Shame there's virtually no footage from Yankee Harbour or County Fair, but it's still awesome to take a trip back in time.nice to see the park looking so good back then.
I kept wondering if I might see a shot of myself as a seven-year old boy...
