Pictorial - Dorney Park (PA) (Images of America)

Description

Book Synopsis: Originally a simple fish hatchery, Dorney Park expanded to include a hotel, casino, bowling alley, along with many rides and modern amusements, becoming one of America's greatest historic amusement parks. Dorney Park was founded by Solomon Dorney in 1884 and was held by Dorney until the early 1900s, when Jacob Plarr assumed ownership. The Plarr family operated the park until 1985, with the exception of a brief period during which it was owned and operated by the local trolley company, the Allentown-Kutztown Traction Company. The park is known today as Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom. Dorney Park illustrates the development of one of America's greatest historic amusement parks. Among the vintage photographs and postcards one will find images of the Mill Chute, or the Tunnel of Love, as it was also known; the old wooden roller coaster under construction; the Zephyr train, a headliner in the park for many years; Castle Garden; the original Dentzel carousel; the racetrack; and the merry-go-rounds that were once a major attraction at the park.
