DVD: Remembering Crystal Beach

Pledge: $5 monthly ongoing

A WNED exclusive production

While capturing the experiences that live on in the hearts of park goers, Remembering Crystal Beach Park also follows the trail of some park icons that have found new life in other forms or places. These include Crystal Beach’s classic 1948 roller coaster (relocated to Lake George, N.Y.) and signature treats, such as Halls suckers and loganberry drink

Topics include:

• the beach itself (named for its silica sand crystals)
• major attractions (the Cyclone rollercoaster and its successor the Comet; the Magic Carpet/Magic Palace; the Laff-in-the-Dark funhouse)
• the dance hall/ballroom
• the Canadiana ferry boat
