Lakeside Amusement Park near Denver, Colorado, is one of the oldest continuously operating amusement parks west of the Mississippi, but today it feels like stepping into another era. In this video, I explore the historic park, take a ride through its fascinating history dating back to 1908, see its vintage Art Deco architecture, classic rides, and the famous Cyclone roller coaster, while also uncovering the story of the long-abandoned Lakeside Speedway that once drew thousands of racing fans every weekend. Is Lakeside a forgotten amusement park, a living museum, or something in between? Join me as we discover one of Colorado's most unique and overlooked attractions.
