writermags's review against another edition
3.0
Pretty interesting, if a little outdated. At least one of the parks in this book is now defunct, and nearly all of the others have changed significantly since this book was written in the early 2000s.
That said, most of the parks also date back to the 1800s, so there's a lot of fascinating history to cover. You can tell that the author is passionate about this topic, and I feel that he writes in a way that is accessible to amusement park newbies (like me) without coming off as condescending. There were a few sections I think could've been made more concise, but overall this was a fun random library book to read.
