If you want to learn about the best amusement parks, roller coasters, and theme parks around the world, then check out HowExpert Guide to Amusement Parks and Roller Coasters. From the classic wooden roller coaster at your local pier to the highly technical and intricate new ride that Disney is set to open this next year to the high-speed steel beast of a monster that sits a few hours away at the closest Six Flags, there is a multitude of attractions out there. Unfortunately, all that stands between you and said attraction is a two-hour-long car trip followed by a $25 parking fee and then a three-hour line. Okay, so maybe that doesn’t sound desirable. But what does sound desirable is the opportunity to experience a world-class thrill ride that you can brag to your friends in class or perhaps being immersed in a land that is themed to your favorite movie in which you forget you’re still in the same world as before. Theme parks and amusement parks alike offer something unlike anything else, and each park offers something different and unique from the others. Here in this book, you’ll learn all there is to know about both theme and amusement parks, the different types of rides, roller coasters, and much more. We’ll also rank the best 101 amusement parks, some of which may only be a short trip away from you. The best part about this is not only will you be able to pull this guide up whenever you need it and be able to impress the coaster enthusiasts with your knowledge and understanding of the lingo, but you also won’t have to wait in a three-hour line to crack this thing open. Here is your fast pass to all the park industry-related knowledge you couldn’t possibly imagine having before. Check out HowExpert Guide to Amusement Parks and Roller Coasters to learn about the best amusement parks, roller coasters, and theme parks around the world. About the Author Noah Granger, born and raised in Los Angeles, California, grew up surrounded by a plethora of amusement parks. From going to Disneyland on a weekly basis to conquering all the intimidating roller coasters of Six Flags Magic Mountain by the time he was a teenager, Noah developed a passion for this niche topic and an addiction to the adrenaline that he often got while riding Xcelerator at Knott’s Berry Farm. Currently, a student at California State University Fullerton, Noah is continuously keeping up to date with all there is going on in the amusement and theme park industry. Over the years of learning more about this hobby, he has accumulated years and years’ worth of knowledge surrounding all the different types of parks and thrill rides. What Noah cherishes most, though, are the friends and family that he gets to spend quality time with, standing in lines while at the parks. Luke 17:6 HowExpert publishes quick how to guides on all topics from A to Z by everyday experts.

America's first theme park, Holiday World & Splashin' Safari, is one of the largest family-owned and -operated independent parks in the United States, and its success is no accident. From moving Interstate 64 closer to the small town to introducing free unlimited soft drinks, four generations of the Koch family have amplified the legacy of this iconic Indiana attraction. Holiday World & Splashin' Safari celebrates the history of the Koch family and Santa Jim Yellig; the origins of Santa Claus, Indiana; and the early years of Santa Claus Land. The story continues with the expansion from Santa Claus Land to Holiday World, the addition of the park's famous trio of top-ranked wooden roller coasters, and the development of Splashin' Safari Water Park, ranked one of the top water parks in the country. For three-quarters of a century, the Koch family has launched the park into worldwide renown and national recognition. Featuring over 100 color illustrations, Holiday World & Splashin' Safari relives this joyous past while looking forward to the thrills fans can expect in the next 75 years.
