Our 7th grade Raritan Township grammar school class went on a field trip to Palisades Park Amusement Park in northern NJ. Many years have passed. this is a very crude 8mm file to video conversion.
Mom took us there on the bus from upper manhattan every summer. Candy apples, the hot wax figures and the animated jazz band on the riverboat funhouse that always scared the heck out of me. I miss that place.
I loved Palisades park! I lived in Brooklyn and traveling to Jersey to visit this park was a delight. I remember the GIANT WAVE POOL, the side show, and the vending machine that dispensed wax figures.
purchased red candy apples every friday night during the summer for my mother. the gate attendants did not charge me a fee after a while. just purchased the candy apples. those days are gone forever. Its rap and baggy clothes and body art today! someday body art will be history also!

I don't get the whole wearing suits to casual events thing. People wore them on airplanes. How uncomfortable was that?

Thought I was gonna see Palisades Park. All I saw was Palisades Parking lot. It was a cool vintage film, though.

I agree. Definitely early '60s. My older brother used to wear ties like the guys in this film back then as well as comb his hair that way. Nice film.
