Description

Northeast Ohioans who grew up visiting amusement parks within the 1940s through 1970s will cherish the memories captured on this book, which contains Euclid Beach Park, Luna Park, Geauga Lake Park, Puritas Springs Park, White City, Memphis Kiddie Park, Geneva-on-the-Lake, and others.

Those boisterous, colorful, exciting meccas fulfilled the fantasies of entertainment-hungry Clevelanders. Every park had its own personality, its own alluring smells and sounds. At Euclid Beach it was once the stately sycamores and the unforgettable odor of the lake and of damp earth beneath the pier. At Puritas Springs, the odor of warm oil at the chain of the Cyclone coaster. The chatter of Monkey Island at Luna Park, the pointy reports of the Shooting Gallery at Geauga Lake.

David and Diane Francis, authors of a number of books on amusement park history, including “Cedar Point: The Queen of American Watering Places,” draw on their very own extensive archive and at the memories of fellow park buffs to create a vivid, nostalgic portrait of days long past by.
