Louisville's Fontaine Ferry Park's checkered history 

Short - the park was desegregated and then it was immediately destroyed and burned down. The end.

I think they should reopen this part due to the lack amusement parks in the area it would be fun to have a call nice old vintage amusement park in America

It is NOT "FOUNTAIN Ferry" it's FON-TAINE Ferry!! Just look at the lettering over the main entrance! Sad to see eminent historian Tom Owens getting this wrong! I got taken there a couple of times as a kindergartener/preschooler before integration. I had zero awareness of the social issues. Have some good (but fuzzy) memories!

Have such fond memories spending days there.

They left a lot out about what destroyed it.

Thank you for the video. I really miss this place. Love going there. 👏🏼🤗

A good place to go, at one time 😊

They left a lot out that story smh typical

Best roller coaster I've ever been on. Saw my first concert there-- the Kingsmen of Louie, Louie fame..

I couldn't go because it was segregated.

Oooooooh how I remember 😊

Happy times
