What you don't know, is that our fathers would start leaving the park to work the afternoon shifts (3-11 Duquesne and Edgar Thompson Works, 4-12 Homestead Works) and were replaced by the fathers coming to the park after the daylight shifts. This is sad to watch because our parents are dead, and we, the little kids, are following them. But the park remains, the echoes of their voices and footsteps living in our memories.
I don't like what has become of this place. In the 70's-80's, Castle Dracula 🏰 was an awesome wax museum with the Universal Monsters and other movie creatures. Today, they use generic animatronics, making it look more like the entrance of a Spirit Halloween store.
Do you have any memorable stories about your time working there? I actually work at a haunt myself and Screamers and everything you all did there still inspires me to this day
I remember coming here as a child with my parents and siblings and I was absolutely TERRIFIED! The electric chair guy in particular had me in tears! Thank you for this! I wish my father was still alive so I could watch this and get a chuckle out of it with him.
I was there back in the 60's I have pictures my dad took I even tried to climb the wall Humpty Dumpty sat on but I couldn't climb it and I fell but didn't land and break into pieces. Great memories thank you for posting.😊
Memory lane of when the folks took us kids there in the 80's and 90's. We stayed at the hotel right at the top of Clifton hill. I think its a giant parking lot now! :(
Hi, I came upon your beautiful old footage of Maryland. We are a Dutch band called Patch the Sky and we wrote a song about Maryland, called 20854 (referring to the old postal code of our singer, when he was there in high school in the 90's). We want to make a video going with the song, containing nostalgic footage of Maryland, and we would love to use some snippets of your video. Would that be ok? We would love to hear from you! Best regards, Sjef, the Netherlands
Ahh thank you so much, that is just great!! And yeah, of course you'll get the credits and I'll send you the final video when it's finished. I think this is a wonderful way of working together in a creative process :)
Nice I miss this place! the special audio effects and mechanical effects were amazing! Im already scared of aliens so this was an awesome memory. One thing my ex never let me forget is that I put her in front of me when I got too scared lol
I would love to Invest in restoring the Skylon Tower to it's former glory. Like I wish that I went there in its heyday because it looked like such a blast.
You would enter a lab with a scientist where an alien would "escape". Then you would enter the haunt which had you go through rooms while actors stalked you from behind doors and windows
It was sold a few times before closing. A spinoff haunt is located up the street at Haunted Hallways now, but it's not the same ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hkjcMhLmm3c.html
Houdini Hall Of Fame had a fire in it. It was renovated by Ripley's shortly after the fire to become the Ripley's Moving Theatre, then it was renovated again within the last four years or so to be the Ripley's Selfie Studio.
The shooting gallery is very recent, within the last 4 years. The guillotine has been there a very long time, possibly since opening but it was changed slightly in the early 2000s. There used to be a different werewolf but the new one was added the same time the guillotine was changed,
@@cruisetheautisticboy994 there were just different heads and dummies. It can be seen in this video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lJLRNo5FhAM.html
I lived in Maryland my whole life, and every year we would go to OC and we would go to jolly rogers; it’s all the same as every year but it was a day ago and we went to morbid manor but it was different. it was quick and poorly organized.
