Book excerpt: If you want to learn about the best amusement parks, roller coasters, and theme parks around the world, then check out HowExpert Guide to Amusement Parks and Roller Coasters. 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.

Book excerpt: From Jones's Woods, America's first amusement resort, to Coney Island during the golden age of the mid-1900s, and well beyond into the twenty-first century, the thrills of the amusement park have been a treasured part of childhood for Americans from coast to coast. Though many of the country's grand amusement treasures have now vanished, and many other parks are struggling for survival, their memory and legacy are very much alive: there will be a fascination with these American classics as long as the clatter of the old coaster cars and the thumping of the carousel band organ remains. Through thoroughly researched text and historic images, Amusement Parks author and park enthusiast Jim Hillman captures the sights, smells, and continuing vitality of a grand American tradition.

It is an important business center, as well as an art, cultural and educational center. The city has a rich history that goes far beyond its role as a resort town. Orlando's history dates back to 1838, when the U.S. Army occupied the area after the War of 1812 and gave it its name. Over the years, the area has been settled by Spanish settlers, African Americans, and European immigrants. Orlando was officially incorporated as a city in 1875. In the late 19th century, Orlando became an important center of the citrus industry. In the 1920s, a building boom began with roads, schools and public buildings. During World War II, the U.S. government took advantage of Orlando's strategic location in Florida to build several military installations here. Since Orlando's first theme park resort opened in the 1960s, Orlando has become one of the premier theme and amusement park destinations. Walt Disney World Resort, Universal Orlando Resort, SeaWorld, and Legoland Florida are just a few of the area's most famous parks. The city is known for its amusement parks, but Orlando has many other amusement parks. The city is home to several important museums, including the Orlando Museum of Art and the Orlando Science Center. In addition, there are numerous theaters, concert halls, and venues for live entertainment. Orlando is also an important educational location, as it is home to several prestigious colleges and universities, including the University of Central Florida and Rollins College. Orlando also has a rich culture and a growing arts scene. The Orlando Shakespeare Theatre and the Orlando Ballet are just two examples of the city's many cultural institutions. There is also a vibrant music scene with many clubs and concert halls. With its history, culture, and many attractions, Orlando is a fascinating destination.
