4.9/5 (12436 ratings)

Description:From Ferris wheels to roller coasters to tunnels of love, everyone has a favorite amusement park memory. For nearly 130 years, many of those memories have been made at Maryland’s amusement parks. Today, only five exist, but throughout history, nearly three dozen have been part of Maryland’s landscape. Images of America: Maryland’s Amusement Parks offers a glimpse of those parks and how they helped millions quench their thirst for recreation. Maryland’s first recorded amusement park, Cabin John Park in Montgomery County, opened in 1876, serving as a training ground for such industry luminaries as Scenic Railway and roller coaster pioneer L.A. Thompson and carousel carver Gustav Dentzel. More than a century later, Maryland’s oldest park, Trimper’s Rides and Amusements in Ocean City, is a virtual museum of amusement park history with operating rides dating to 1902. Some favorite parks, including Glen Echo, Gwynn Oak, Pen Mar, Tolchester Beach, and The Enchanted Forest, did not last as long, but their memories live on through more than 200 images in this volume.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
