Amusement Parks

Amusement parks provide endless thrills for the whole family. People are so eager to spend the day at a park that they flock to it in droves. But nothing attracts more riders than the classic roller coaster. Adrenaline junkies, thrill seekers and risk takers patiently wait through long lines for an intense experience of hair pin turns, sharp drops and loop-d-loops. Engineers are constantly designing coasters to be even more extreme, scarier, faster and taller. These vintage photographs will take you to a different place and time, to the birth of theme parks!
