Down Goes Frazier! er… Down Goes Minnie!

Aahz — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 00:56:47 +0000

It isn’t easy being Minnie Mouse! At least that’s the impression given by this video of a 3 year old girl taking down the 81 year old mouse at Disneyland. Then again, maybe it’s just Minnie’s arthritis finally starting to act up.

Dorney Park in the 1960s

Aahz — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 07:58:24 +0000

This clip from the 1968 film Where Angels Go, Trouble Follows (which depicts the rivalry between an aging nun (Rosalind Russell) and a glamorous younger one (Stella Stevens) as they shepherd a busload of Catholic high school girls across America to an interfaith youth rally) has some absolutely wonderful footage of Dorney Park. It’s great seeing all of the old rides, but my favorite part is of the kids on the Tarantula with their balloons.

I had no idea there were still any working human cannonball’s around. That is, until I found this video of David Smith, Sr. performing at the 2006 Steele County Fair in Owatonna, MN. His son, David “The Bullet” Smith is still performing. Check his website for details.

One of the Christmas shows at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom’s Holiday In the Park 2008 is the Frosty The Snowman show. I missed about the first 8 seconds, but managed to get the rest of the show for y’all.

Are There Zombies At Your County Fair?

Aahz — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 00:26:02 +0000

A reader forwarded this short video to me last week and I couldn’t resist adding it here. Sure, there’s no actual ride footage in the video, but as fans of carnivals and thrill rides it does behoove us to be “zombie aware” at all times. Besides the Zombie Funnel Cake song at the end is a true classic!

CarnEvil Haunted Maze – California’s Great America Halloween Haunt

Aahz — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 05:46:12 +0000

Although Zaira and I attended the opening night media event at California’s Great America in Santa Clara, CA we didn’t go through any of the mazes. As much as we love Halloween, we’re just not really fans of haunted houses.

But, we know that many of you out there are fans, so we managed to track down some Halloween Haunt videos for you, of which this is the first.

Water effects, pyrotechnics, dynamic lighting and lasers bring this spectacle to life.

Footage of the Disneyland/DCA electrical parade was shot on May 28th, 2006. To achieve the best sound quality, I used the original soundtrack (with a slight modification to reflect the fact that the parade is no longer shown on Main Street). Enjoy!
