Wanted to get this out before Friday. After about 2 months since I first brought this up on these boards, and several changes to the video later, here it is. I hope you all enjoy it.
If it walks like socialist, quacks like socialist, smells like a socialist, .... it's a socialist. Hope, and change we can believe in.

Awesome video,it made me sad and it also made me realize that we should not think that some of the present or former rides suck because they provided persons with a joy that they will remember forever.One last thing,to all of those people who think whizzer sucks remember that it may not be fun to you,but to some people it may be a little treasure of their own,if you don't like it,don't get on it(less waiting time :wink: ).Awesome video by the way,you did an excellent job.

As a movie critic for SFGAm (Just Kidding :wink: ) I want to say the movie is a Outstanding, Exciting Movie to get the 2006 Six Flags Great America 45th Year Anniversary started. This movie is the BEST MOVIE OF THE 2006 SEASON! I tilt my hat to you and I'm Looking Foward to seeing more movies created by you! :D

Did you actually watch the video? If you did, you would've noticed at least 4 times it said SFGAm's 30th anniversary, not the 45th. That's Six Flags in general. It's tip my hat, not tilt. Why did you double post just to quote yourself? Also, since the 2006 hasn't even started yet, isn't it a little premature to be calling it the best video of the season?

By the way, RBull4Life, awesome video, I really enjoyed it, and the music (except for Venga Boys) was really fun to listen to while seeing some cool photos and videos. It really got me hyped for this season. I hope to see more from you in the future.

Thank you everybody for the comments. I am glad that you all like it. I kind of have a unique concept for my next video on Great America.

Yeah, It is written kind of small.....
It says "May you continue to thrill an entire new generation."

and that is my daughter on her first trip to the park.

Personally,

I didnt like the video. The pictures and things where great, but some ofthe video quality was poor, and the music selections where okay. I guess.

What really made the video was the ending i thought though, Kinda like the next generation in your family going to the park.

1 1/2 stars.

Thank you Roger Ebert.

Just kidding.

Yeah, the video footage was icky at times, since the footage from the 90's was from a crappy analog camcorder. Converted from VHS, to DVD then to AVI, it lost even more quality, even when enhanced with Pinnacle. Since I have a new Digital camcorder, I will be recording straight to AVI to eliminate and converting.

I did have one up somewhere on these boards last year, but I think the download is long gone. Here is a list of videos I have planned...

Great America through the eyes of a 4 year old.
Kings Island
Cedar Point
I may redo last years Fright Fest video

My browsrer kept messing up so it posted the same reply 2. I did see the video and i meant to put 30th season. I forgot to tip and I was playing when i said best video of the season. :roll:
