Wow that was great.I spent 2 weeks 1 summer down there.Probably the best summer of my life,even if my older and pain in the neck cousins were there!Or was it me and my pain in the neck brother I don't know!

Equal time for its brother in the North.
Anyone remember the double ferris wheel on what felt like a cliff overlooking the water?

Awesome link Chuck, I used to work at the Park back in the 80's when I would sit at the Bermuda Triangle ride with my mirrored shades on listening to BCN on the boombox we had there.....

Nantasket was about a half-hours ride from our town. We would head out there on a moments notice.

I remember the flying mouse as a better ride than the roller coaster ... WBZ had a broadcast trailer right inside the main gate and would broadcast throughout the summer.

Dave Maynard, Bruce Bradley, maybe Dick Sommers -- giveaways, requests, dedications ... the diskjockies would talk to us over the music, they would try to spark romance between the boys and the girls (as if we needed any help there!) -- great times.
