Gliding Swans Ride, Dutch Wonderland, Lancaster, Pa., ca. 1966


A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of amusement parks.
This is a 1960s snapshot of the Gliding Swans ride at the Dutch Wonderland amusement park, which opened in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1963. Austen Dennison in his book, Dutch Wonderland (Arcadia Publishing, 2015), p. 21, provides some details about the swan-shaped vehicle:
"A unique tram-like ride with a swan design was introduced in 1965. Beneath the swan overlay, the ride's framework consisted of a farm tractor with two trailers that carried passengers throughout the park. The Gliding Swans, as they were referred to in a 1966 pamphlet, operated for only three seasons before being removed due to increased foot traffic."
For another photo from the park, see Amish Folks at Dutch Wonderland, Lancaster, Pa.
