Living with Roller Coasters

[cca]

I was searching youtube and came across a 6 part documentary of roller coasters from the past.

I don't know if this is already been posted. If it is sorry and close the topic if needed.

This is a very interesting vid series to watch...especially if you enjoy the historical aspects of theme parks (ie Shane's Amusement Attic updates). I'd forgotten all about KW letting people walk Thunderbolt's track while it was in operation. Crazy!

Oh yes. I got this on VHS for Christmas quite a few years ago. It's a very enjoyable documentary, though the guy's a bit monotone.

Wow cool find!

 

I like the parts showing a guy smoking on the coaster, then someone jump in the train going up the lift hill! People working on the track while the coater is running! Riding a closed coaster by pushing the car up the lift! Hanging out on the track watching the train go by!

 

Amazing the things people used to do and parks used to let them do!

This is really cool!

I just watched the whole thing, and it's interesting to see what coaster enthusiasts used to do, and things like that. Awesome.

There really is some great coaster footage on these. Thanks for posting these links.
