Maureen Barton Bissonette

Maureen Barton Bissonette I use to go almost every night, I only lived a few blocks away. It was a shame when they took it down and built ugly condo's, they should have left it alone.
There was nothing better than the vinegar fries.

Miriam Kotsonis

Miriam Kotsonis The original carousel is up in the Paramount Amusement Park north of Toronto. I took my kids to visit it. Still has the strange paintings, but only one original horse, because they are so valuable. The amusement park was one of the greatest delights of summertime, as well as the end-of-school parade with free park tick...ets, for which we wore beanies and our school colors. I keep a turn-of-the-century (repro) poster in my office to keep the spirit alive.

Are you sure about the horses, Miriam? If that's true, that's very disturbing. That last I knew, they had refurbished the carousel to its original state.

Scott Spencer-Wolff Wow - remember really happy family outings (that would be on the rare occasion my family was "really happy") to the park in the 60's. What a totally cool place. And I Iost my roller-coaster virginity to THE CYCLONE. Few have measured up since!

Pierce Haviland

Pierce Haviland I remember going to the park in the 60s and waiting to get a front seat on the Cyclone. In 1970, a rock group from Hakensack called Filet of Soul performed there. Some of the guys from the group went to Luther College in Teaneck. It was hard to believe that the park would be closed the following year.

My breaks were fun free rides, food and excitement. Was there on the morning before the park opened when Jackie Onasis had a birthdyay party for John John at the penny aecade. Great memories thanks for bringing them back!!

Nora, those were the good old days. We had so much fun even while working. It was my first job and I think it closed after my second season. It was a great time and even though we only made $1.00 an hour, the bus fare was only .25 to .35 cents. Some nights we even walked to the White Castle and took the bus from there.. Great memories that we will never forget....
