Description
A nostalgic and melancholic historical documentary that explains the origin as well as the end of Riverview Amusement Park in Des Moines, Iowa. The DVD details what circumstances brought about the idea of the park, who the founders were, and why the location was picked. It traces the park through it's 63 year history and details the setbacks and struggles few people today know about with pictures and specific details. Several photos and film clips from Riverview's early years are featured that haven't been viewed publicly for decades as well as photos of the parks last few years in existence. And finally the surprising catalyst that started the beginning of the end that no one foresaw.
