In this series of WSB-TV newsfilm clips from August 8, 1978, Jack Carter, his family, and his sister Amy are seen visiting the Six Flags Over Georgia amusement park in Austell, Georgia. The clips begin with a series of aerial shots (taken from the sky buckets) of various rides and locations throughout the park. Crowds are seen strolling on the walkways, and screams, music and crowd noise can be heard throughout.
In the next series of shots, a crowd is seen emerging from a fenced-in area. The camera focuses on Amy Carter, who walks out holding the hand of someone dressed in a costume. An unidentified white man asks Amy, "Did you do everything in particular that you wanted to do?", and Amy nods. The group continues to another location, where photographers take pictures of Jack Carter placing Amy Carter and his son, Jason James Carter, in a ferris wheel car, and Jack waves to the children as they ride. Amy pauses and smiles for a woman who has asked to take her picture, and the camera cuts to Amy and Jason on a ride containing small boats with bells. The children ride in the boats as Jack Carter looks on. The film cuts to a shot of Amy Carter walking across a bridge with a crowd, and then cuts to Jack Carter, Amy Carter and Jason Carter riding the carousel with many other unidentified people. There is no sound for this clip or any of the clips that follow. Photographers are shown taking pictures, presumably of the Carters, although they are not seen at this point. The clips end with a shot of Jason Carter walking away from the camera.
