  • Thank u for posting this!!!!

    GREAT MEMORIES!

  • I have fuzzy memories of OC, about as fuzzy as your film, as I went there from age 6-8. I do vividly remember there was a huge stuffed animal - a shark that hung from the ceiling of the park, I wanted to take home with me, although it was too large to fit in my room. The circus was incredible, with the roller-coaster whizzing close by with its screaming riders. Loved the log ride, kids play area, and magic shop. Too bad its gone. As cool as OC was then, think how much better it would be today.

  • My fondest memory of OC in 8th grade (1978) was being stoned on a class trip, buying under water wick from a hobby shop in there,to complete a pipe bomb I was making, that went off while closing it up, blowing my left pinkie almost off,shrapnel in my face & making a splash with the police and neighbors being new to the NW burbs from Buffalo NY. sigh ..

  • Great video. Except Bolingbrook is spelled with one L

  • love that rollercoaster! i remember watching rex smith and willie ames there on stage!

  • I used to ride that Chicago Loop coaster over and over and over again.. too bad they went bankrupt.

  • @fuzzybunny1972 Yeah ill be 37 this month and i remember when me and my family used to go there, I think they were talking about someone dying on the Round Up ride...But How did he die?? Do you know?? Was he thrown off into a wall or something..Because if so...that would break every bone in his body I would think..I remember it being kind of dark in there, maybe it was night when we went..It looks alittle bighter here on youtube..this is like Back to the Future for real!!!(in a way)

  • Love this place as a Kid! the four seasons was my favorite!

  • I worked there as a "sweeper" in the amusement park. I saw Michael Landon, Vincent Price, local weatherman John Coleman. We used to go the the Beer Garden where part of the movie "The Fury" was filmed. A couple got married on the roller coaster. A trapeze artist had a fatal accident. The "Small World" ride played a Carpenter's song (can't believe I can't remember it now).

  • Sadly, the four seasons ride was the only I wasn't scared of at that time...
