Palisades Amusement Park Fun House

For those of you who may remember: Palisades Amusement Park created their Showboat Fun House in 1964. Featured in the front facade was this Dixieland group of mechanical mannequins that "performed" along to a soundtrack of snappy jazz numbers. To date, I have found NO film footage of the band playing and very few detailed photos of the group itself. Thanks to Glenn Corbett for finding this great photo of the band. Through the magic of computer animation, I have tried to replicate the movements of the original band members. The music is from The Dukes of Dixieland on Audio Fidelity records. I hope you enjoy this nostalgic trip back to the glory days of Palisades Amusement Park.
