The Downfall of The Local Amusement Park

There were once over 1500 local amusement parks (also known as Trolley Parks) in the United States. Today, only 11 remain. In this video, we delve into the history of these parks to discuss not only what caused their massive spread, but what also lead to their eventual downfall.

Today, the remaining parks are
Camden Park, Canobie Lake Park, Clementon Park, Dorney Park, Kennywood, Lakemont Park, Midway Park, Oaks Amusement Park, Quassy Amusement Park, Seabreeze Amusement Park, and Waldemeer
