Sorry for so much, but I'm hitting a gold mine here. Footage from 1993, it's long and is towards the middle. Audio is out of sync too, but has the sounds of the park during the time. Filmed in 1993
Highlights:
- Stables
- Old fountain in Italy
- Old San Marco entrance before Pompeii
- Mother goose show in Germany?
- Threadneedle Faire entrance
- Gypsy Wagon
- Haunts of the Olde Country signage
- Sea Dragon footage
- A more active clocktower in Germany

Very neat footage of the restaurant before trappers.
This is outstanding!!! Every time I see videos like this I wonder if VR will get to a point where if given enough of these videos you could recreate the park at certain parts of its existence and walk around.
@NewsFedora on Twitter continues to deliver the goods from 13NewsNow's archives! The Glissade footage near the end in particular is unlike anything I've ever seen of the ride. Amazing stuff!
Admission $6.50...won't even buy a sundae at Josephine's today 😜
It won't even buy you the plastic card version of the membership card you already own.....
Won't even be enough to fix the machine that prints the plastic card of the membership that you already own.
For whatever it's worth to the discussion, median family income was about $14k in 1975.
Getting into a lush three-hamlet strolling park/low key corporate showcase with Glissade, some shows/strolling performers, and a few other attractions for about $35 today seems like an achievable opening-year promo deal.

Stumbled upon this video and found some Der Blitzschneller footage! at 7:36
Great new video showcasing Alpengeist, Loch Ness, Pompeii, Alpengeist Express, Drachen Fire, Wild Maus, and does anyone know what this talking dog in a barrel is? at 53:50. I have never seen this before, side show possibly?
