Summary of American Amusement Park
This photographic retrospective distills more than 100 years of the sights, sounds, smells and thrills associated with the American amusement park. Nostalgic archival photography from private collections, period print advertisements and exclusive colour photos illustrate the stories behind rides, arcades, architecture, fun houses, tunnels of love and much more. Special focus is given to the roller coaster, while sidebars highlight specific parks and rides whose influence on the development of amusement parks in general is undeniable.Industries & Professions Books
