Dorney Park was founded by Solomon Dorney in 1884. The park was owned 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. Originally a simple fish hatchery, Dorney Park expanded to include a hotel, casino, bowling alley, Ferris wheel, carousel, roller coaster, roller-skating rink, railroad rides, and many traditional mechanized rides and modern amusements. 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.

Dorney Park, Pennsylvania
My Book Club is planning a tour of Grand Central Terminal in October and this book made the list of possible books to read before our meeting.. .. I have to say it was pretty interesting, a relatively quick read and there were lots of pictures... I think it could have bee wayyy better if the author had provided maps or even a map of the city and it's environs for those of us not exactly familiar with every location she was talking about... I understand for security reasons she was loath to provide details of "openings" but a map showing where old ponds and streams etc were in relation to the current city would have helped enormously... Also to have visuals as to where the various bridges are located... Anyway... There were only dribs and drabs of interesting things in my opinion and many of these were provided as "asides"..
