was that shanty town the one that got burnt down in the mid 50s in a massive fire?
that area, waterloo hill is now a very respectable neighbourhood!

I think it should be Kai Tak Amusement Park, somewhere near to the Kai Tak Airport

Was that 'Lai Yuen Amusement Park'? (opened from 1949 to 1997).

Sorry, after 57 years I can't remember. Do you recognize it? And in what district was this park?

According to the rollercoaster database, there was a Luna Park operated from 1949, and the video showed the letter "LUNA PARK" outside the train, so, I think the amusement park should be Luna Park, not Kai Tai or Lai Yuen...

oh, Luna Park was in North Point King's Road..
