    Geoffrey Thomson stewardship was the parks golden era. It's gradually gone into decline under Amanda.

    I lived in Blackppol as a child, in the 70s. I spent many hours at the pleasure beach- fond memeories of the wild mouse, the funhouse, Alice in Wonderland, and the Derby..A wonderful video, thank you !

    Maxim ride was in Idora Park in Ohio! The one there had the rudders, so riders could slightly alter the path of their 'rocket.' Idora Park had been gone a long time, I think it was a fire. I'm enjoying the channel play through.

    My first job at Conneaut Lake Park was operating "The Whip". The metal floor was covered with grease. Kids slipped and fell on the regular. Good Times!

    Grand Prix, which has just been closed, was initially the Turnpike with petrol driven cars. Excellent video. Just a shame the management seem to have dropped the ball right now with rides closing and footfall drastically down.

    Shame i cant take my kids there due to the ridiculous pricing structure. As a kid my mum took us there and we spent what money we had specifically on what we wanted. 2 adults and a kid is now about 80 quid. And since when did 12 year old become adults. Shame on them.

    I think Leonard Thompsons birth year is wrong. If he became manager in 1929 that would have made him 14 at the time.
