A Child Goes Down The Slide Of A Water Park In — Clip Details

Shot on 8mm film in 1964 at Flushing Meadows, this vintage home movie captures a child descending a water slide at a New York amusement park. The footage shows a wooden slide structure with a light blue water channel, surrounded by trees and park infrastructure. A person in a dark swimsuit appears at the top of the slide, followed by a child in a light-colored swimsuit sliding down. The scene includes a sign for the 'Florida Citrus Water Ski Show' and a watercraft performing on a lake, with a distant city skyline visible. The film exhibits classic Super 8 grain, color fading, and slight motion blur, evoking a nostalgic 1960s family vacation atmosphere.
