Thank you all for the comments. The good news is that a few parks still care about entertainment! Hershey park as many resident shows. Visit them between the start of June till the start of September. You will find many shows still at that park, Busch Gardens still has many and Dollywood is just great. I hope Kings Dominion will take note that people miss this part of the park and will make changes.
@exartexart You will find a number of other KD videos I recorded with the full shows being viewed on my sight. Thank you again for taking the time to let me know you found my video. Its for people like you that I do this. You have a great day! You will find a grouping of KD videos within one of my lists. You will also find a KI Christmas show with I posted but did not record. He sent me one other as well that I will post before to long for this holiday!
It was so nice to see this *tear drop*. I've been a huge park enthusiast since I was a little boy, and Im 30 now. Been going to KD since the early 80's... sad to say, that they dont offer shows like this anymore(nowhere no it) must say though, its all about the thrills nowadays at parks, especially with the heavy competition...Just not the same. Thanks again for a trip down memory lane!
I remember very much as a kid watching the shows at the Woodlands as well as the indoor shows, its what I loved most about the park other than the rides. Parks these days just aren't the same, and I remember the very same show on the American Country show, in fact I remember meeting the red head in yellow dress. Man and the days with corded mics. You have no clue how appreciative I am that you posted these videos
Your KD videos are so awesome! Takes me WAY back. I remember the Woodlands Theater being the FLINTSTONE FOLLIES....that's serious old school! I miss the Old KD.
thank you for posting this it blew my mind I'm in the thumbnail picture playing bass in the country show had the privilege of playing there for several years some of the funnest times in my life
@subtenko My camera back at that time was a little under 1000 I think. At that point in our life it was a lot of money. I am so glad that I took what I did at the time. Just wish I had done more but even the tape was costly at the time and I just did not film all that much. Glad to seep people like you enjoy what I have put up.
@strongmixture Thank you for the comment. They mean so much. Yes it is all about the thrills today at KD but I am glad to say that some other parks do not see it as only about the thrills. Look at Hersheypark today or Busch or Dollywood. All of these still care about thrills but equally care about the other side still as well. I wish KD would return to this as well. Was at KD today. Its sad that the park is not more today!
Love the video!!!! It's too bad there aren't any videos of "Gotta Dance", "Hooray for Hollywood", "Celebration", or "ascinating Rhythm" - they look like they were AMAZING!!!!
I am a huge roller coaster fan, but I would like to see some other stuff return or new things. It would be nice to see more shows and maybe even something like an aquarium or animal show. They do have a few things back this year and they got people singing the latest pop hits and such. Oh, and they have Planet Snoopy. Looks pretty fun for the kids, but I'm 21 so it doesn't really interest me. One of my favorite things to do at King's Dominion is put quarters in the machine next to the log flume and spray people with water when they least expect it.
@DianaGarnett26 I am not sure if you are talking about Rock around the Clock or Surfs up, or maybe Paramount on ice that did a segment on the show Grease. Well I have posted Paramount on ice and I have a photo of Surfs up on here. The show Rock Around the Clock was before I ever started taking photos of the shows but I very much remember the show.

The shows and entertainment in those early years of KD were the best!

Love these videos you made. The clown band was always one of my favorites. Keep it up.

This is a great video, I was the "Master Sound Tech" for a lot of these shows between 86-90 at KD and KI's Winterfest. We probably know each other. :)
Wow. This brings back lots of great memories. Thanks for sharing. :-)

KDFanPre91 if you have any more country shows from years prior I was in those as well would love to see those posted we had some great bands
Love the video!!!! It's too bad there aren't any videos of "Gotta Dance", "Hooray for Hollywood", "Celebration", or "ascinating Rhythm" - they look like they were AMAZING!!!!
One of the still photos is of Carowinds Those Magnificent Movies, which I was in 1987. So funny, and soon much hair.
@KatishMcCullen If you are talking about the 'shuttle' coaster, that was the King Cobra

I loved the king cobra
We are not related, we are friends. It was just by chance that we both have coaster as part of our screen names, nothing more
I love the Clown Band
betcha can't do it all!
@KatishMcCullen
King Kobra
The shows today at KD are terrible! Pure trash. Only slightly better at Busch Gardens. Both parks at one point had amazing entertainment.
