Death of Ocean View Park (1979)

The demolition of a real-life amusement park in Norfolk, Virginia was excuse enough for made-for-television movie The Death of Ocean View Park. Factual footage of the park's destruction is blended into a fictional plotline by screenwriters John Furia Jr. and Barry Oringer. Mike Connors, Diana Canova, Perry Lang, Caroline McWilliams and James Stephens are among a group of funfair revellers who attend OceanView Park on the Fourth of July. It isn't long before Mother Nature puts on a real fireworks display-a devastating hurricane.

I vaguely remember watching this when it was on TV back in the late 70's. Forgot how cheesy it was.

This was my first amusement park too. My mom used to go here when she was little too. Lots of history torn down for progress :(
