Experience the electrifying, never-before-told true story of amusement parks, from the middle ages to present day, and meet the colorful (and sometimes criminal) characters who are responsible for their enchanting charms. Step right up! The Amusement Park is a rich, anecdotal history that begins nine centuries ago with the "pleasure gardens" of Europe and England and ends with the most elaborate modern parks in the world. It's a history told largely through the stories of the colorful, sometimes hedonistic characters who built them, including: Showmen like Joseph and Nicholas Schenck and Marcus Loew Railroad barons Andrew Mellon and Henry E. Huntington The men who ultimately destroyed the parks, including Robert Moses and Fred Trump Gifted artisans and craft-people who brought the parks to life An amazing cast of supporting players, from Al Capone to Annie Oakley And, of course, this is a full-throttle celebration of the rides, those marvels of engineering and heart-stopping thrills from an author, Stephen Silverman, whose life-long passion for his subject shines through. The parks and fairs featured include the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, Coney Island, Steeplechase Park, Dreamland, Euclid Beach Park, Cedar Point, Palisades Park, Ferrari World, Dollywood, Sea World, Six Flags Great Adventure, Universal Studios, Disney World and Disneyland, and many more.

Cyclone, Revolution, Corkscrew; Luna Park, Pleasure Beach, Dreamland – names and places instantly familiar to rollercoaster and amusement park enthusiasts. But what first gave rise to the concept and nomenclature of the amusement park; how did amusement parks develop in Britain and elsewhere, and what fate awaits historic amusement parks and their rides today? This thought-provoking and timely book brings together leading writers from a variety of disciplines to explore the social history and cultural heritage of the amusement park. Rooted in the British experience but informed by extensive international coverage, it provides a thematic, comparative exploration of the origins, development, decline and significance of the amusement park. The rich set of case studies presented comment on the interrelationships between history, culture and heritage, challenging traditional academic boundaries while offering important contributions to policy-making and regeneration initiatives. The book provides new insights into a neglected aspect of popular culture and will be a valuable resource to students and scholars of history, heritage, tourism, leisure, technology and design.

A propulsive and “entertaining” (The Wall Street Journal) history chronicling the conception and creation of the iconic Disneyland theme park, as told like never before by popular historian Richard Snow. One day in the early 1950s, Walt Disney stood looking over 240 acres of farmland in Anaheim, California, and imagined building a park where people “could live among Mickey Mouse and Snow White in a world still powered by steam and fire for a day or a week or (if the visitor is slightly mad) forever.” Despite his wealth and fame, exactly no one wanted Disney to build such a park. Not his brother Roy, who ran the company’s finances; not the bankers; and not his wife, Lillian. Amusement parks at that time, such as Coney Island, were a generally despised business, sagging and sordid remnants of bygone days. Disney was told that he would only be heading toward financial ruin. But Walt persevered, initially financing the park against his own life insurance policy and later with sponsorship from ABC and the sale of thousands and thousands of Davy Crockett coonskin caps. Disney assembled a talented team of engineers, architects, artists, animators, landscapers, and even a retired admiral to transform his ideas into a soaring yet soothing wonderland of a park. The catch was that they had only a year and a day in which to build it. On July 17, 1955, Disneyland opened its gates…and the first day was a disaster. Disney was nearly suicidal with grief that he had failed on a grand scale. But the curious masses kept coming, and the rest is entertainment history. Eight hundred million visitors have flocked to the park since then. In Disney’s Land, “Snow brings a historian’s eye and a child’s delight, not to mention superb writing, to the telling of this fascinating narrative” (Ken Burns) that “will entertain Disneyphiles and readers of popular American history” (Publishers Weekly).

From the classic wooden roller coaster at your local pier to the highly technical and intricate new ride that Disney is set to open this next year to the high-speed steel beast of a monster that sits a few hours away at the closest Six Flags, there is a multitude of attractions out there. Unfortunately, all that stands between you and said attraction is a two-hour-long car trip followed by a $25 parking fee and then a three-hour line. Okay, so maybe that doesn’t sound desirable. But what does sound desirable is the opportunity to experience a world-class thrill ride that you can brag to your friends in class or perhaps being immersed in a land that is themed to your favorite movie in which you forget you’re still in the same world as before. Theme parks and amusement parks alike offer something unlike anything else, and each park offers something different and unique from the others. Here in this book, you’ll learn all there is to know about both theme and amusement parks, the different types of rides, roller coasters, and much more. We’ll also rank the best 101 amusement parks, some of which may only be a short trip away from you. The best part about this is not only will you be able to pull this guide up whenever you need it and be able to impress the coaster enthusiasts with your knowledge and understanding of the lingo, but you also won’t have to wait in a three-hour line to crack this thing open. Here is your fast pass to all the park industry-related knowledge you couldn’t possibly imagine having before. Check out HowExpert Guide to Amusement Parks and Roller Coasters to learn about the best amusement parks, roller coasters, and theme parks around the world. About the Author Noah Granger, born and raised in Los Angeles, California, grew up surrounded by a plethora of amusement parks. From going to Disneyland on a weekly basis to conquering all the intimidating roller coasters of Six Flags Magic Mountain by the time he was a teenager, Noah developed a passion for this niche topic and an addiction to the adrenaline that he often got while riding Xcelerator at Knott’s Berry Farm. Currently, a student at California State University Fullerton, Noah is continuously keeping up to date with all there is going on in the amusement and theme park industry. Over the years of learning more about this hobby, he has accumulated years and years’ worth of knowledge surrounding all the different types of parks and thrill rides. What Noah cherishes most, though, are the friends and family that he gets to spend quality time with, standing in lines while at the parks. Luke 17:6 HowExpert publishes quick how to guides on all topics from A to Z by everyday experts.
