- Sal would welcome us all to Lakeside's funhouse. Unfortunately, she is now retired, as is the funhouse. And, unfortunately, this is all of the film I have of her since I thought that she would always be there. © 1978 S. Campbell

I remember going in the Lakeside Fun house the last year it was open. One of my buddies hurt his knee on the slide. Fun time though.
Yeah, I got pretty mangled up in the funhouse. But I wouldn't trade it for the world. Too bad kids today will never know.
Haha I remember my mom told me she used to see that back in the day and when I found this she was like oh dear how did u find that.
Thanks for sharing that...so glad that your mom shares my crazy memories!
You could get banged up just walking into that fun house what with the floor sliding back and forth just inside the entrance. One had to learn how to walk through those rotating barrels or otherwise fall down and be hauled out by the guys hired to rescue people. Then there were were the various locations on the floor where jets of compressed air would lift the skirts of girls and women. It was some guy's job watch for opportunities to do that and operate the valves that would shoot the air. Fun house indeed. Long live Sal!
But it sure was fun...one of the last ones.
@@luckyzert Yes, it was a wonderful attraction. Old fashioned, somewhat risky fun. If my comment sounded negative it wasn't meant to.
Thank you, sir. Didn't take it as a negative comment - just you sharing your experience in that long, lost house of fun with others that didn't get the chance to experience it. That's how I feel when I try to describe the Magic Carpet (in fun houses that had one). How do you tell someone that the floor drops out and sends you careening down two stories on rollers and rotating canvas mats?! I realize that in today's world, you wouldn't be able to get liability insurance on such a thing (just like the old fun houses), and I received my share of very painful "carpet" burns. But it breaks my heart that it's all gone "like tears in rain." Speaking of Sal, I feel fortunate to have found one new from when Funni-Frite closed their doors 20 years ago and auctioned off everything that remained. She's in storage now, but maybe Sal will attend my funeral, when that time comes, with that wonderful laugh. Such is life.
I remember her from my child hood and going to lakeside in the 80s
I wish she was she there and laughing.
That creepy old thing used to freak me out waiting in line to get inside and run around like little idiots not knowing or caring about how dangerous it was in there. You could get huge wood splinters or serious carpet burns from the sides of the sheet metal slides or a compound fracture from being nearly crushed by a pile of yelling kids after getting spun around at 1,000 rpms until everyone is flung off that turntable death machine. Good times, the 70's was the best time to be a kid. What a blast.
Nowadays it's that dragon ride, but i do vaguely remember it. from the sounds of comments it seems like one of those trial and error funhouses that you'd have to do hundreds of times before you know everything by heart
This is seriously scary.
My buddy worked there for a cpl years. He claims she’s in the bigger garage/shed in the parking lot.
no wayyyy
A clip longer than 8 sec would have been nice...lol
It’s a wonder that anyone would want to create a thing of such mocking frightening emptiness
Zir0 brought me here
where was lakeside?
Denver, CO. It's still open and family-run and in great shape - beautiful at night with all of their lights. Their main competition was Elitch's...but that park closed.
@@scottcampbell3940 ok, thanks i thought maybe she was in alameda ca, sf bay area at some point.
Why why why why
