DW Home Videos 1987

YouTube user BorgonNugentMemory recently uploaded a half hour of home videos taken at Dutch Wonderland in the Summer of 1987. The video is posted in three different parts with the first video clocking in at 15 minutes. You might want to skim through it, but there is definatly some good stuff tucked inside this video.

Some highlights to notice/keep an eye out for:

• The parking lot is laid out differently.
• The old court yard area, had more of a mini-Main Street feel.
• There is an ice cream stand where the Potato Patch now sits.
• The area where the Leapin' Frogs is now situated there were some Smurf figures and a mushroom house.
• Plenty of footage of the Picnic Grounds inside the park and the Old Woman in the Shoe slide.
• The Saturn Rocket and the Spaceman in the Space Section.
• The log boat ride in the front of the park has animals, a windmill and no mountain.
• The Old 99 Train Ride. (What a great ride!)
• The Dutch Wonderland uniforms of 1987.
• A giant walk-around Rooster character.
• Lady Gay Riverboat and some of the International landmarks in the Botanical Gardens.
