Is this your family? Who are the people in the video and how old are they now?

Back when the place meant something!

1960s actually (post-1967); there is the square buckets on Skyway & a glimpse of "it's a small world"

I was obsessed with the mouse ride.

Hey Jack, did the D&M actually exist as a freelance model railroad? I have a few 3 bay covered hoppers and plan to purchase 1 or 2 of your 2 bays hoppers. Thanks Mike

It is indeed sad to see what was one of the wonderful attractions in Lake George pass into history. My family used to vacation in the New England states from about 1956 to 1962 . I can still recall staying in Lake George Village in one of Motels ( which by the way is still there and operating ) it was either 1960 or 1961 and the Motel owner was telling my parents that a New Attraction had just opened up in Lake George not far from our Motel. The memories of that visit to Gas Light Village are still with me. The New England area can Thank " Charles Wood " for not only Gas Light Village but a number of other Road Side Attractions that he had developed that were Very Popular at the time. The late fifties and early sixties were a wonderful time in the New England States.

ALWAYS YESTERDAY'S FUN TODAY 😂

You forgot the Tornado Scare House ride and the indoor coaster Nightmare at Crackaxle Canyon. Both were located in the Ghost Town area. Though the building that housed the Nightmare still stands, but the coaster unfortunately doesn't. If you go on the Desperado Plunge Flume ride you can see through the open back door that it's no longer there inside. The coaster was actually pretty fun, but due to capacity issues the wait times were over lengthy (signs posted at each point 1 hour wait - 2 hour wait). And now the Alpine Bobsled is on the chop block, but the Bobcat coaster looks pretty cool.

My one doesn't have music. I don't know why.

Thanks for sharing, sadly the Alpine bobsled can be added to this list.

I don’t remember this at all. When did it close down?

34:14 Miss that view so much!

Oh OK

Hi! Someone gave me one of these to fix, but lots of wires were tampered with and there's a couple wires where I'm not sure they go into the circuit board in that black controller. Is there any chance you could get me a picture of the circuit board with everything plugged in? The back come off easily. I'd really appreciate any help.

Thanks for this great video!! I’m almost 21 and I love the 1980s and old history so I’m very happy to see this. And I finally found a video of that singing animal on stage. Also when the red shirt people were singing and performing who were they? And where did they perform??

When it was storytown in ghost town was there ever a restaurant with like puppets on stage like animatronics? In the 1980s?

Thanks 😊

What will it be like if Gaslight Village is still there today, alive and thriving? That would be magnificent.

Brings back so many many memories. miss you both tommie and Bill

Started going to Lake George 1981, with my X wives family when we were dating, lots of changes, Water park is gone too, Gaslight Village, gone, when Charlie Wood sold the parks, everything changed

This Toy Was Seen In Baby Einstein In Baby Bach

This is a very well-done video.

As a kid, used to go to the Catskill Game Farm where you could interact with real live animals not fake plastic.😆😅🤣😂

How did you wire it DC, it says in the manual AC, I bought brand new old stock from Ebay and it says to connect it to 18 volt or less AC but not lower than 15 volt and it spun like crazy then it blew an engine or fuse, I did every thing as per manual, how did you wire it DC? ( I used the Lionel 80 watt transformer and attached it to the accessory terminal).

Grew up going there every summer for my father's company picnic. Great memories

Annoys me no video footage of nightmare exist I also remember that train somehow . I'm 30 and I remember it

Always loved this place perhaps because it was open late, seemed cooler than Story Town.

How are those flying things still there?

Thanks for the rewind

The Rainbow Ride was a staple of I-87 north. We lost an icon when that was decommissioned.

The Great Escape now lost the big wheel

Wow they got rid of the Spider, Rainbow, and Sea Dragon? Especially the Rainbow. First ride you saw at entry.

I loved all those Lake George places. Simple clean Fun

Oce

No hi tech but fun galore

Had ghost town too

So sad It was awesome right in the middle of the village

This brought back so many memories for me. Thanks so much for posting this

I was there that summer! I was 13 and completely uninterested in the remnants of Storytown, but these days I'm amazed at how much is still there.

Was the Huss Skylab already at the park in 1987? czcams.com/video/qWMX7r0UOBo/video.html I assume not, as it is not featured in this video and was probably "hot" when it was at the park, so it might have been filmed. Does anyone know what years they had the Skylab and the Rainbow (both from Huss) at the park?

Looks pretty good

Great video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember so many of these! Thanks for sharing 😄

Thanks for tise

its sad when a park takes away more than they add

Miss the train ride behind the plunge ride. I think it was removed when that useless Nightmare building/coaster came in. What a shame because that train went through the cave and through an area designed just for it (like the wild west & desert theme) instead of just meandering through the park.

I totally forgot about the old cave & desert area with the other train ride they used to have. It also went into the cave. This was I think removed when the Nightmare building went in. Seems like it was so much more livelier back then because they had actual shows besides the high-dive act. The thrill rides were just a compliment to everything else there.

I'm going today

Thanks for posting this. I just went there today, now I’m on youtube reminiscing about the way I remembered it when I was younger. It’s still fun but it has lost a lot of the character that it used to have. The country singing and sheriff vs cowboy outlaws show ect, ect. It’s all about crazy rides and $6 soda now, but that’s the way it goes I guess. Thanks again!
