Download or read book Playland written by Kathryn W. Burke and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Playland offers an inviting look at the historic amusement park on the shore of the Long Island Sound in Rye. This book recalls the early days and the later years of Playland, a national historic landmark and America's only publicly owned amusement park. Opened in 1928 as part of the newly developed Westchester County Park System, Playland originally drew crowds that arrived via automobile, bus, and steamship for the circus acts, sideshows, and rides, such as the Swooper, an oval roller coaster, and the Derby Racer, one of only two left in the United States. An all-purpose resort, the park included a beach, bathhouse, pool, and casino with restaurants and games. Today the park draws even larger crowds--nearly a million people each season--that come for the Dragon Coaster and other rides, Kiddyland, the indoor ice rink, the pool, the beach, and the boardwalk.

Download or read book Excelsior Amusement Park Playland of the Twin Cities written by Greg Van Gompel and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2017 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Minneapolis roared into the 1920s as a major metropolis, but it lacked the kind of outdoor amusement facilities common elsewhere across the country. In 1925, Fred W. Pearce introduced the Twin Cities to his "Picnic Wonderland." Crowds eagerly poured onto the shores of Lake Minnetonka by the trolley load. Luckily, Excelsior Park survived the Great Depression and World War II on the strength of its celebrity acts. Changes in the forms of transportation, combined with innovations in the outdoor entertainment industry such as Disneyland and an aging infrastructure, eventually forced the park to close its gates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Long before Disneyland or Disneyworld, there was San Francisco's Playland at the Beach, a magical and glamorous amusement park that is still revered by San Franciscans more than 40 years after it closed. A beloved part of old San Francisco, Playland incorporated rides, dining, sight-seeing, and socialization, and its pioneering rides and attractions inspired the designers of the amusement parks that followed. San Francisco historian James R. Smith completes his magisterial history of Playland in "San Francisco's Playland at the Beach: The Golden Years," the sequel to his stunning 2010 book "San Francisco's Playland at the Beach: The Early Years." Covering the years 1945 to 1972, "San Francisco's Playland at the Beach: The Golden Years" showcases both the height of Playland's postwar popularity and its decline, closure, and destruction during its final years.
