i need help finding a movie called "the death of ocean view park"witch was themed after the movie "rollercoaster".i am trying to find it on video or dvd.does anyone know of this movie?the film came out in (i belive)1979.

I've heard that it isn't on home video. But someone is selling a 16mm print on eBay; I think that auction is still going on...

thanks dave

Yes, it was originally aired on CBS or ABC (but NOT NBC). I have seen it about 4 times. very good movie, thrill rides with a love story... really. I haven't seen it at all anywhere lately. If you do get your hands on one, let me know.

i looked on ebay and came up empty handed.i remember seeing it on tv years ago also.i just wish there was a way of getting a copy of it.maybe i should contact abc or nbc.

The death of ocean view park was shown on ABC (happened to find old TV Guide advertisement). It starred Mike Connors, Martin Landau, Diana Canova, James Stephens, Caroline McWilliams, Mare Winningham, and Perry Lang.

" A freak hurricane.
A sudden rising tide.
Thrill rides start by themselves,
and can't be stopped.
A chain of mysterious events
shatters a happy holiday
celebration. And terror takes over
a vast amusement park!"

well,i sent an e-mail to abc.i hope they get back with me.

The movie was loosely based upon "Amusement Park" by Robert Stuart Nathan and produced by Playboy Productions. In the book, the park was a somewhat disguised version of Great Adventure.

This is great info!

I have it on tape. Quite good. Took place in Viginia, they demolished the Rocket. It was an ABC movie.

Do you have a prerecorded copy with sleeve or do you only have something you taped off TV? And when did you get it?

I taped it off of TV years ago. hardly watched, but it is in good condition. I have a dual vcr thing that makes decent copies.

I may have to give you money for a copy, let me know.

Yes, we can work out something. After this holiday shing-dig.

mee to,if abc does not get back with me.ill pay for a copy.

I just stumbed upon some money also, send me an e-mail with price and such. (CPs MagnumXL200@aol.com)

I think I can make unlimited copies, as long as the FBI doesn't beat down my door. Let me fetch the tape after xmas. I have some traveling to do in south Florida in Jan., but I will be stationary in Feb., and I see no problem making some copies for people. Figure like $3.20 for prioroty mailing, which comes with the box, and a few bucks for the tape, so I do not see it being over $8-10. Should be a decent tape, even though I taped it like in 1985.

Agent Johnson's Video Bargainville is now open for business!

I want a membership.id gladly pay for this movie.
