You need to check out shadygrove in Dunbar, pa

This is by far one of the best videos of less known places to visit in NYC. Thanks.

how about blaw nox

My mom and my aunts visited Willow Grove Park often when they were kids. My mom shared with me that the park eventually closed to due a unfortunate fatal accident involving a patron who died on a ride. I am not sure if this has been confirmed or not. However, she and my aunts shared fond memories on how they loved going to the amusement park and the multiple things one could do there at the time.

Watching this video in hummels wharf

I went with my good friend and saw the outside of the Old Jail Museum, because that particular day there were no tours. Still got a few pics of it. Very creepy. Eastern State Penitentiary and Gettysburg are haunted, obviously. We had a private ghost tour of gettysburg and we used dousing rods and ghost recordings to hear voices. Also, another tour guide said our hotel we stayed at was haunted. They say our faucet turns on itself. We came back from the one tour and it was already running.

Coool

I understand that tourists have ruined the town of Jim Thorpe!

ghost towns that millions live in 😂 🍻

I was a Local of Coudersport where the Ice Mine is. I currently live 35 minutes from Kinzua State Park now in McKean. Cherry Springs State Park near Coudersport. Is the best place on East Coast for Star Gazing.

Lenape park was fun so was willow grove I bee to A lot of parks when I was little

I have definitely delivered to many of these steel mills.

I used to deliver high temperature bonding morter to Bethlehem steel in Bethlehem Pennsylvania years ago from shipper martin Marietta company out of Woodville Ohio I used to drive for G&J cartage company out of Taylor Michigan.

Good video. But number 2 is pronounced cony-yaught.

You should add Rocky Springs from Lancaster. It had a world class wooden coaster from Herbert Schmeck when he was with PTC

LOL West Point is right down the street from me.

I am from Minersville coal country

Lakemont Park in Pennsylvania didn't make it in the video

I'm originally from Johnstown Pennsylvania. I worked at the Lower Cambria works of the former Bethlehem Steel railroad axle plant. The Blacksmith shop which is in this video is dated from 1854 I believe. I had been in it a few times before 1992 when Bethlehem Steel started closing down their operations in Johnstown. I was working in the axle plant for Trinity Industries when demolition crews where tearing down coke ovens and buildings on location. It was eye opening and sobering to watch the last embers of the fires of the Industrial Revolution pass into History.

Loved Lenape Park!!

Like the other commenters, the mispronouncing of place names is really annoying. Why not have a human from Pennsylvania do it?

What about Indian Trail Park? My grandparents used to take me there in the 60's.

im woried what cafe do u go too with a child? who 11yr old? and do u need euros? or can u take england money?

I was born in Mickey Port Hospital.

7abandoned mills, 400 derelict towns, 4 crapholes Philly Pittsburgh and Reading and York ....and some neglected State forest lands.... YEP thats PA.

I went to West Point Park twice as a child. My father's employer held their company picnic there. Great memories. I've also been to Willow Grove Park but only for the demolition. My employer had a contract to dismantle the western show section which he brought back and had plans to rebuild outside of Quakertown as little shops. We also cut miles of copper wire from the rides which he made scrap money from. We would go to Dorney Park in the Allentown area because it was closer, I wonder if it still around?

You missed an eighth one, Cascade Park in New Castle PA.

this video is being used for scams, be aware!!!

Same issue devestated familys and the economy in the southeast section of Chicago.

Missed Williams Grove….

I grew up in Chester County near Lenape Park. I was a teenager when the park closed and became a Picnic Park for private parties. I never got to ride the roller coaster because in the early 1970s the coaster went of the rails and sailed into the Brandywine River. Or at least that's what my older bother told me. The site was renamed Brandywine Picnic Park sometime in the 1980s and there were a few rides left behind. I know for a fact the spinning teacups were still around in 1982 because I rode them that summer. The picnic park lasted into at least the early 2010s and the owners finally gave up on the property because it kept getting flooded. Most the debris you showed is from one of the floods.

Use larger letters, my eyes arent what they once were!!

What about Allenwood steel in Conshohocken?

My uncle’s company used to have their picnic at West Point. I loved their Paratrooper and their coaster, Jumper. I won two goldfish in the a game there. Their names were Goldie and Tabor (after the Avenue in Philadelphia). I was so disappointed that it closed.

Mermaid park another one I grew up with. I don’t know if it’s there anymore. It was a swimming group and it was some of both and amusement park as well.

Thank you for taking my idea this was the best pace I grew up with

Did i miss a video with white swan park?

Rocky Glen not on the list Wtf ?

I live in south central PA, never visited much of western PA, just drive thru some on our way to other places.

Great video! I made a short video on a defunct amusement park! There was a time in Pennsylvania that these small “parks” were nearby most towns.

There was once a Carsonia Park (accent on the 'o') at the southeastern edge of Reading, Berks County. It was built in the 1890's by a trolley service (Union Traction Co.) to increase ridership and lasted until 1950.

It’s pronounced Munnesun ;)

Weak video history. The collapse of the US steel industry was bought on by lack of innovation and overcapacity also greed. The US steel industry refused to downsize and invest in the future till it was too late.

All caused by politicians selling us out.

So sad to hear The Blue Streak is gone, so sad about Conneaut's decline, our family loved to go there

As Children, my Brother and I went to West Point Park with our Day Camp🤗😄!!! My Mom was one of the chaperones! Although my Brother and I had a lot of fun at West Point Park, in the early 1980s when we were children😃😃, my Mom thought West Point Park was an "awfully rundown amusement park" with "rickety amusement rides". However, my brother and I went on many rides including the Tilt-A-Whirl, the Scrambler, and the Ferris Wheel and we were fine😃😃👍👍!!! However I remember as a child I was afraid to get on the roller coaster because that ride looked very rickety and even my Brother didn't get on the roller coaster either!
