Mnay of the traditional amusement parks were closed, or burned to the ground. In 1964 Steeplechase Park closed. Theme parks helped to save the industry. Surprisingly, the first theme park was build at Bkackgang Chine on the Isle of Wight in England in 1843. Sea Lion Park might also be considered a theme park because it was build around a nautical theme.
The amusement parks on Coney Island in Brooklyn started life as trolley parks.. The first carousel was installed in the 1870s, the first roller coaster, the Switchback Railway in 1884. In 1875, a million passengers rode the Coney Island Railroad. In 1895 the Sea Lion Park opened. It was the first amusement park in the world to charge a general admission as well as to charge for the rises. In 1897 Steeplechase Park opened, followed by Luna Park in 1903 and Dreamland in 1904. Fire was a constant worry.
