Title: 1990 SDC Video!
Post by: pintrader on March 24, 2011, 06:01:12 PM: Saw this video of SDC shot in 1990 and thought it was pretty interesting. Old petting area, Balloon ride, walk behind the waterfall, etc.

Post by: DollarCityBoy on March 28, 2011, 02:48:28 PM: When I saw the 1990 video, I gasped at the sight of Shanty Town! I loved that place, kinda the HDH of the day. The balloon ride, the original verson of the Carousel, the petting zoo! AHHHHHH, those were the days! Great videos! The late 80's & early 90's were my childhood, so I got a kick out of seeing those!

These are all fantastic. I must say that I appreciate all the nostalgic looks back through the decades, but the one above (most current one I guess) is very haunting. I am not sure if it's the Iron Horse "Metallica" song or the way the shots are edited, but it almost feels like a memorial tape. It really honors the "Day in the City" concept!

By the way, did anyone notice the shot of the passenger on the Lost River of the Ozarks with a full-on Beverage...sippin' on it?! Whoa!

Post by: sanddunerider on March 28, 2011, 06:09:51 PM: definently classic films.. does bring back the looks of the old city as you said beta.

hard to believe when you see old video, and then see the current city.

And as we all know, not all changes are good ;)
