Description
Scene starts after a twelve second delay, as a group of people are shown being picked up by the Roaring Camp train. The camera pans across the hillsides as people leave a smaller train to watch another, larger train pass through adjacent tracks. A large group of children is seen interacting with the Roaring Camp train conductor who is punching their tickets for the train ride. The scene then cuts to a beach and people walking along a boardwalk. The video then gets very blurry and it is difficult to make out any of the pamphlets or flyers shown on the camera. After thirty seconds of showing the flyers, the screen cuts to grey.
