The Pink Monorail Podcast: Manufacturing the Magic Episode 9
In the ninth installment of this educational series, Shelly & Noe talk about how – as the 19th Century gave way to the 20th – amusement parks as we know them today began to pop up around the country
Throughout this episode, listeners will learn about:
How Lake Compouce sprang up from a failed explosives experiment
How Disney’s Boardwalk Resort was originally supposed to feature a selection of classic theme park attractions
How a young immigrant went from sleeping under an Atlantic City pier to owning it
The precursor to Disney’s Ford Wonder Rotunda at the 1964 New York World’s Fair
West Coast amusement parks in Venice and Long Beach, California
We're now starting to get the framework down for the modern theme parks. There was a lot happening in the early 1900's that would evolve into some great experiences today. Do you have any amusement park stories from your town? I’d like to hear about it in the comments section. As always if you would like to sponsor me
