May 10, 2008 - Oh what memories that just brought back. I grew up in Swansea and every summer we collected the free strips of tickets the gas stations used to give out. Imagine free tickets? No where can you go to an amusement park that cheap anymore. Once a summer we made the trek to Dartmouth and spent a whole day just having fun as kids and brought a picnic with us. I wish my grandson could experience that kind of fun today but those days are gone and imbedded into our memories. Thanks for the memories!!

May 12, 2008 - WOW!! Even though I was less than 10 the last time I went to Lincoln Park, I remember ALL of the rides you show in the video!! It was a very special place where me and my grandfather used to go once a summer from the time I was 3 or 4 till about 9 or 10. I think the big parks have lost something. For instance, I doubt 6 Flags or Disney will ever have Clam Cakes like Lincoln Park, if they did, they would just be big flavorless greasy balls of burned or raw dough.

May 17, 2008 - I went there in the early 70s. There was this fun house with all mirrors and another one that the floor was slanted. I couldn't stand up straight.

May 17, 2008 - I can't tell you how grateful I am to see this all again. My sibs and I would sit behind the steering wheel of our old car and pretend we could go anywhere we wanted. I'd say 'where you want to go?" and everyone would say"Lincoln Park!" I taught my own kids to say that even though we live in San Francisco. They know all about the place - now I can show them a slice of my childhood as it was. THANKS AGAIN- and greate song!!!

May 22, 2008 - This video brought back so many memories -growing up in New Bedford, Lincoln Park was THE place to be. When I turned 16 the summer of 87 a friend & I decided to get jobs there (in the games dept). It was one of the best summers of my life. Little did we know that our plans of working there every summer would never come to pass. Now i'm 37 years old..I live & work in NYC. But whenever friends are talking about jobs they had as kids, I think back to Lincoln Park. Best job ever!! :)

Jun 10, 2008 - John, It must have taken you hours and hours of hard work to piece it all together... Nice work and I know many appreciated the job you did. The result was nothing short of spectacular. Brought back many memories from the late 60's to early 70's... I visited Linclon Park only last week for the first time in 35 years. Sad would be the word that would best describe my feelings.

Jun 11, 2008 - OMFG!!!!!! Where did that footage come from??? I can remember awesome times and stories about that place! I can't believe what I just saw. That was fantastic! Thanks for the memories!

Jun 23, 2008 - Thank you for this! It brought back some great childhood memories, right up to my senior prom in the ballroom!

Jun 26, 2008 - amen brother. i know what you mean. i loved that first hill on the roller coaster. if my memory serves me correctly, i think tickets were about 5 or 10 dollars for a batch.

Jun 27, 2008 - fantastic song and video. thank you. the slide was always bittersweet. I wish there was footage of it here. It was by the parking lot and it was also like only one ticket to ride (as opposed to 3 for the tilt-a-whirl) I'd always save one ticket for the slide, winded at the top of the stairs finding our Chevy Nova in the lot knowing it was the last fun of the day. Still don't remember which way the carpet was supposed to face tho. And don't even get me started on pitching pennies for chocolates..

Jun 27, 2008 - My band, Bobby & the Galaxies, plaued in the Ballroom every Saturday night, back in the early 60's. we opened for all the big acts of the day, at Lincoln Park. Great memories.

Jul 27, 2008 - great video

delcar2000 Says:

Aug 15, 2008 - Thanks for that. My grandfather used to take my cousin and I there quite a bit. Seeing the old rides made me smile and think of those days.

iluvkristen Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Nice video, My first job was there making clamcakes in 1978,my first girlfriend also. It was the only Rollercoaster i have rode. I always went there as a child. New owners took over and tried to charge everyone who entered the park. that was a mistake and end of the park. I wish they would build the condo around the coaster. thanks again

Aug 31, 2008 - Man, this brings back a lot of memories. I sure do miss this place. RIP, Lincoln Park. You will never be forgotten.

Cormak Says:

Sep 6, 2008 - Wonderful video. I remember riding the big yellow slide all the time as a child! My parents and grandparents would go there on dates. I drive by the sad remains of what is left everyday on my way to work. I need to get photos before that is gone, too.
