what was the "gold Rush"? Remember Olympic Park and the Wild Mouse?

[midnitedude1]

@yaywhewclips242 I remember Olympic park and riding the Wild Mouse for about an hour straight. It was a weekday and the guy just let us go until we said "LET US OFF!!"

Thank you very much for sharing this! I loved this park and remember it clearly even though I was 12 when they closed it :-( They don't make parks like this anymore. It was so much fun!

Really cool video. Spent a lot of time there 1971-1975. The roller coaster was great. Bumper cars were fun too! Thanks for sharing your great video!

How could they have torn down Roseland? Canandaigua has never been the same.

[jetcat4445t]

I worked at Roseland in the cotton candy stand every summer from 1971 to 1976.

Best summers of my life...thank you for the memories.

I can remember as a child, going to this park by boat. My father would boat us all the way up the lake and park the boat and we would go to the park for the day. Wonderful times, so sad it is now gone.

Thanks for the video -- Roseland was a great park for us teenagers. Enjoyed the memories! Too bad they closed -- bummer for the teens of today

[tractorguy74]

Wow, what a trip down memory lane! This video is a couple years before my time but still hits home. They closed the place up and tore it down when I was in jr. high. All that is there now is yuppie housing. They call it progress, I call it a shame! Now there is nothing good for the kids to do. Thanks for posting a great video!

[fayeteville]

that woman seemed very friendly,lol

kerry nice song, i forgot the name!

thanks again

As for the song, one of my all-time favorites, "More" by Kai Winding. As for the "friendly woman", theres a long story about each of those pictured.

How long have you been taking home movies? Are all these your videos you took?

[KKD1247]

I've been taking home movies since 1960. Nearly everything you see on my channel has been produced by yours-truly.

[GlockNinja]

Nice. You must also have an impressive collection of cameras. Was this your life long hobby or were you in the industry?

[KKD1247]

My hobby became my vocation.

[GlockNinja]

And to some your vocation has become art. Thanks for sharing your past.

[KKD1247]

Thanks for your nice comment. I've got stacks of reels and cassettes I need to go thru yet and upload. I can't believe how much I've shot in my lifetime.

My wife and mother in law tells me that my father in law was into recording everything where ever he went by taking pictures and videos. But after he died, my mother in law threw all of his recordings away. Some people have no appreciation for such things. What a waste.
