I lived in Cliffside Park and attended Holy Angels Academy in Fort Lee. Enjoyed the park especially when a magician supposedly decapitated my younger brother!🤩. Then horror of horrors: they razed the Academy to build high-rise apartments and destroyed PAP.

WHY DO PEOPLE ALWAYS CLOSE AMUSEMENT PARKS? when we went back to NY Coney Island was closed. all that was left was boardwalk. We used to have such fun there.

Bergen is also the name of a town in Norway that was invaded by the Germans, and the architecture of the structures are of a German style. I was there in 1995 while on vacation.

Pchblsom, It was called Pacific Ocean Park. Our family went there just once, shortly after it opened. On par with The Pike in Long Beach, just south of there.

Player #12334000, Nope. It's Freddy Cannon. He's not that well known. He was a guest often on the TV show American Bandstand in the 60s

Palisades Amusement park had some really unique rides that you NEVER see in parks anymore, like a steeplechase carousel where you raced your horse against 7 others over a winding course. I remember going there as a young kid in the early 1960's.

I remember going there two or three times as a kid. Also we could see the Park across the Hudson River when we used to go down to Riverside Drive Park.

My mother took me there from Jersey City. I'm reading "Palisades Park" by Alan Brennert. It's a good story and brings back lots of memories.
