- At one point, the Great Salt Lake was home to a lakefront resort bringing in big crowds, including celebrities and U.S. Presidents. KSL's Dan Spindle looks into the rise and fall of that resort and how it ties into our efforts to save the precious resource.

I've lived here my whole life and never knew the history of the Great Saltair! Amazing!! I have been there for events and concerts over the last 3 decades. It's a magical place 🙌
I do a lot of reading and studied a lot of history i did know this place before but didn't know this much about it. Our country has so many amazing things maybe we should focus on these things instead of what we've been focusing on in our country just saying we've done incredible things for the development of our country and our people thank God.
i remember living out in west valley before they brought it back in the 90's riding my bike out there use to by a railroad car that was a deli and giftshop
And Saltaire is the main feature in the movie Carnivale of Souls. 1962. I just watched it
Just looked it up and that sounds amazing! I can’t wait to watch it!!! 🎪
I live in Philadelphia, Carnival of Souls in my favorite movie, I wanna go to Saltair so badly lol
This is so cool. A lot of people just knew they had 1 roller coaster. But they actuallt had 3 roller coasters!
the look got cheaper with each rebuild. The original Saltair had the best look.
That's always the case - and it's always a previous civilizations work. look up corn palaces too. in sioux city Iowa, farmers could build moorish palaces too lol
Carnival of souls . A great movie from 1964 . A cult favorite
Were living through Extremely complex & Changing Times. 🍃🌼💕🏆👍
It's quite sad how many Utahn's in the comments didn't know the history until now.
If you would like to learn more, the magna main Street museum in the old JC Penney building has a built replica, swimsuits and all kind of relics from the era.
Thats so awesome to see this and hear about this beautiful building it's gone through alot thank you for showing us about the the Great Saltair
Woah so cool, lived here my whole and never knew about it’s history. Now when I go raving there the history is all I’m going to think about✨
Been through fire and flooding, its crazy how much Saltair has been through
if it hadnt been sabotaged - it wouldnt have been through anything. like the brighton west pier etc
It is so beautiful inside it has A stair case for royalty it's beautiful
I saw "Smashing pumpkins" there.
Shakedown 1979
Just imagine a artificial fresh water lake and a Saltair Gaming /Casino with mono rail to /from SLC airport to bring in the High rollers and their Money...!
High rollers wouldn’t ride a mono rail probably but they should keep it salty for the healing properties- sounds great! Bring back that boardwalk please!
4:40 his hat gives him “+5 intelligence “
And the hats at 1:36?
Reminds me of Sutro's and the old Cliff House in San Francisco. Fire also destroyed them.
the Bamberger ran out there according to my Mom a lot of time she spent out there
Yea and Detroit, Chicago, New York City and Los Angeles used to be big tourist destinations. Not so much these days!
Uh New York still is
Not really
It was in carnival of souls a film by Mormons for Mormons you can also see ZCMI department store in the film as well
Carnival Of Souls.
Old power plant.... hidden history
I know, someone send this video to Jon Levi lol
Smoothbrain lmfao
Disaster striked terrible flooding
You can't save something that has been drying up for thousands of years....
Very true. Humans have little impact on our climate, especially in the 21st century with our cleaner technology, but it is being politicized for financial gain these days
It's normal for the lake to fluctuate in size, but the current water levels are human caused. We have had a huge problem with overconsumption of water over the past hundred years or so. The way they manage stuff here is absolutely ridiculous and if they did it properly we wouldn't be in this situation in the first place.
When did they start dumping sewer into the lake? Was it after they were swimming in it?
😳 wow
I demand removal of wooden telephone poles. The pole was ugly in front of the Temple, in this video.
Shame.
it's not lakepoint it's point of the mountain
Are there two? the only point of the mountain I am aware of is the one that leads to Utah valley?
It’s a crap hole now.
It must have been all those Alfalfa farmers with their huge square bales being shipped to Texas and Saudi Arabia lowering the lake in the 20's and 30's. Or maybe it was the jet-setting masses and their millions of cars causing global warming in the era before Jets and before hockey-stick global temperature graphs, warming their way out of the mini ice-age several decades earlier.
Geologists say the Salt Lake is a remnant of the gigantic Lake Bonneville, practically an inland sea. Somehow climate change over the last 30 million years shrunk it to the little puddle it is now. It must have been the campfires of those billions of primitive "cave" people causing climate change.
I am not saying we should use every drop before it gets to the lake, or that we should just let it dry up without changing our ways. I think we can all cut back a mostly equal percentage, and I like the idea of legally granting the lake water rights that preempt nearly all others, to a live or die level. I am just trying to point out that some of these things that seem new and caused by us today, are not really that new. It's like being amazed at this winter's snowfall or this spring's runoff when we literally saw the same 40 years ago and have geological record of the same further back.
False history.
If you listen carefully you can read between the lines. They said something like it rose from the ground and then the people came:)
No, I think it's all certified and well documented history
eww they bathed in the water , im glad its vanishing haha
It looked white only.
That was only a thing in the south. And for lds church positions lol
Well there was still segregation
Hands up if Carnival if Souls brought you here.
