A bunch of bumpers and trailers from the now defunct General Cinema movie theater chain, which was acquired by AMC in the 2000s.
The candy band ones still scare me...
These videos were found on various sources.
Brief video of the rescued Lakehurst Mall seagull sign that stood by the eastbound off-ramp for IL-120 onto Greenleaf St. in Waukegan, Illinois. I saved it and brought it home in February 2007.
Music is Don't Fear the Reaper by the Blue Oyster Cult.
Footage of the midways and rides at the 2008 Lake County Fair in Grayslake, IL.
This was the last fair to be held at that location, which had been the fairgrounds site for about 50 years.

A photo tribute to DejaVu at Six Flags Great America, now Aftershock at Silverwood theme park.
Special thanks to anyone who contributed photos.
I was requested to provide a link to one of the photo contributer's YouTube pages, I ran out of room in the credits, so I have it here instead:

Footage of a bizarre incident at the Yankee Clipper where the gate to the boat storage pond swung open, and boats with passengers were led into the pond.
The ride was e-stopped and evacuated, my brother happened to be on the ride when it happened and I was nearby enough to run over and film this.
SFGAm's staff handled this bizarre situation well and everyone made it off safely.
Musical-slideshow of the demolition of the Lakehurst Mall in Waukegan, Illinois. This was made years ago before I really knew how to make videos, so it's not that great.
Music is:
The Byrds - Turn, Turn, Turn
Limp Bizkit - Build a Bridge

Greezed Lightnin' at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom. It originally opened in 1976 at Six Flags Great America as Tidal Wave. In 1991 it closed and re-opened 4 years later as Viper at Six Flags Over Georgia. In 2002 it was removed and sent to Kentucky Kingdom and named after its cousin that used to be at Astroworld.
Footage of the queue and the ride. Sorry about how dark it came out but it's almost pitch black during the entire ride. They were also not running much of the theming this ride normally has so that made things darker.
This has to be the most underrated ride I've ever been on.

A tribute to one of the first amusement park rides I ever went on. I remember first riding it in 1997, I actually believed we were in space (I was only 6 or so at the time). Includes a POV video taken in 2006.
Please excuse my brother for making retarded noises in the first half of the POV.
This is an old track... but had a really bad video until recently. This is based off the OLD one still on Google Video where I had to hold a camera in front of the screen (this is the third Cyclone video I made since 2006). This has the same music as the first. The second video will be removed sometime next week.
