About this item
Description
Book Synopsis
After World War II, veterans and their growing families flocked to sunny Southern California for jobs in the aerospace and defense industries. Capitalizing on the baby boom and expanding suburbs, amusement parks sprang up to entertain residents and their visiting relatives. The crown jewel was Disneyland, which focused on themed sections and changed amusement parks forever. Other parks followed, transforming Southern California into one of the world's top vacation destinations. Parks like Lion Country Safari, Corriganville, and Marineland--along with many kiddie lands and animal, water, and theme parks--came and went in the postwar decades. Some were planned but never developed, while existing popular parks like Disneyland and Universal Studios periodically close rides only to substitute them with attractions considered more crowd-pleasing.Dimensions (Overall): 9.1 Inches (H) x 6.4 Inches (W) x .4 Inches (D)

This book is full of photos that take me back to amusement parks like Marineland, Busch Gardens, Pacific Ocean Park, and the Pike. The surprise is how many parks and attractions were built after the war and I never knew about them. I won't let the cat out of the bag, but there are several I never knew existed. Great pictures and wonderful memories and information!
