a response to previous comment make by resident of the region where this motion picture be lensed represent one person suggest that the closing and destruction of the ocean view amusement park lead to a downturn in the surrounding neighborhood . this be simply not true . prior to the construction of interstate 64 and which bypass the ocean view area and the primary route for traffic go through the heart of ocean view . once the interstate be complete and ocean view rapidly become a ghost town with business close up and an increase in crime . this lead to a huge reduction in revenue for the park and which also face new competition from nearby busch garden in williamsburg . meanwhile and in the past few year and the city of norfolk have do a remarkable job of foster redevelopment so that the area have become a sought after location for construction of high end housing . it have also be say that the destruction footage of the roller coaster be use in the film rollercoaster . this be also untrue . footage be shoot of two coaster car careen off the ride for that film and but the actual explosion and collapse be exclusive to death of ocean view park . a to the film itself and the storyline of a supernatural force in the water adjacent to the park be certainly silly and but somewhat typical for b grade movie of the time . with the cast involve and there should be no surprise that the scenery be gnaw in almost every scene by the primary actor . i do not believe this film be intend to be another citizen kane while i believe playboy be experiment with a new non nude format to determine if this be an area for the company to expand into ( apparently not . ) . a strange force in the water cause strange event in an old amusement park probably sound good at the conference table and but prove unmanageable in execution . the roller coaster and the rest of the park be destine for the wreck ball anyway while let come up with a weird way to justify an explosive demise . for the casual movie viewer and this would be a see once and forget about it film ( except for diana canova fan ) while but for the thousand of people who live in the region and have fond memory of the park and this movie be like a walk down memory lane for footage of the park as well a old footage of downtown norfolk and the first harborfest and and old dominion university . even a limited release of this film on dvd would be welcome .
