  • This segment of footage shows various scenes of Kiddieland in black and white and color. The first scene is of the front of the Teddy Bear roller coaster, the park's junior coaster for children. Following the Teddy Bear are views of the free playground, air planes, Miniature Old Mill, and a close up of children waving from a swan boat. Also included are views of some of the first rides in Kiddieland, the Miniature Whip and Brownie coaster, which were made by W.F. Mangels of Coney Island, NY. The footage ends with black and white scenes of the Auto Ride (also known as Auto Race), and riders waving from the Miniature Railroad as it returns to the station.
