4.0 out of 5 stars Packed with information, but flawed writing, May 1, 2007
By 
Gabriel F. (Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Amusement Parks of New York (Paperback)
This is a great resource for any lover of amusement parks, particularly their history. It has incredible detail - even listing the years individual attractions opened - and great historical photos to complement the text. The writing leaves something to be desired, and is a bit formulaic (he uses phrases like "on the rebound" and "(name of park) is one of the most (adjective) amusement parks around" a little too frequently), but the book is packed with so much information about the parks' current statuses and their histories that this can be easily overlooked.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book but left out some older parks, October 26, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Amusement Parks of New York (Paperback)
A lot of good info in the book, but I wish they would have spent more time on Olympic Park in Rochester; Willow Point Park in Webster, Gaslight Village in Lake George; Frontier Town in Hudson; Land of Make Believe in Upper Jay and 1000 (or 1001?) Animals, in the Adirondacks.
