Nifty color footage of small and large roller coasters in 1950s amusement park. Cu alongside small rollercoaster as cars with screaming riders careen towards and past camera. Cam follows as cars pass. Good color - bright red cars and blue sky. WS tall rollercoaster (looks like wooden structure) with steep drops. American flags posted at its peak. Cars approach top of structure - cam pans but then cuts just as they are about to plunge down. Cuts to MS alongside medium sized rollercoaster. Cars moving in background - cam tries to follow. Red cars suddenly rush towards and past camera, cam follow through pattern of wooden structure. Next shot is like the first, low and close to coaster as the cars approach the camera - happy faces of thrilled riders visible. MS two women walking in amusement park - rides and flags in b/g. Sign in b/g says "World's Largest protable rollercoaster". Cam is shaky - all over the place. Great shot of tilt-a-whirl. MS/MCU of great tilt-a-whirl action. Terrific color too. Bright reds and yellows.
