Coaster Joe Posted September 7, 2013 Posted September 7, 2013 Tons of cool retro footage in the new Dr. Dog video. I didn't see this posted anywhere in the forums so thought I'd share.
coasterkid124 Posted September 7, 2013 Posted September 7, 2013 Does anybody know what park(s) were featured in the film? I recognized the parachute to be from Coney Island, but some of the other rides I did not recognize at all.
Coaster Cow Posted September 7, 2013 Posted September 7, 2013 A lot of the shots of the scenic railway are of the one from Willow Grove Park outside Philadelphia (bottom right in the picture), now a mall. Source: http://assets.hemmings.com/story_image/181351-1000-0.jpg?rev=2
djcoastermark Posted September 7, 2013 Posted September 7, 2013 Neat video. It's cool to see some of the really old rides that I rode as a little kid, like the Cuddle Up, (much better than tea cups) the Fly-O-Plane and the Swinging Gyms. Havent seen a cuddle up anywhere for years, but I know there's a Fly-O-Plane at some park in Georga, I believe. I also saw an updated version of Swinging Gyms(as we called them) a some festival a few years ago. Wouldn't it be neat to see a few of these oldies brought back ?
