45 - Theme Parks

Who doesn't love a good amusement, or theme, park?! They are awesome, but how did they get here? Who thought it would be a good idea to mixed a bunch of greasy food with a crowd of people and rides designed to make your stomach turn? We decided to take a deep dive for you and find the answers. So Step right up and enjoy this ride through the history of Theme Parks. In this episode we will learn about a number of parks like DisneyLand and Walt Disney World, Universal Studios Hollywood, Knott's Berry Farm, the many parks that resided in Coney Island, and many more. We did not realize the amount of parks that existed, or that parks had been around since the 1500s. Now of course the definition of 'Amusement Park' can be murky it its early history, but the fact remains that parks have been around much longer than we previously thought.
