Alan Mays' photos with the keyword: amusement rides

"Old Mill, Rock Springs Park, Chester, W. Va. Aquarama." The Aquarama (see sign on building) or Old Mill was an enclosed water ride at the now defunct Rock Springs Park in Chester, West Virginia. An " old mill " ride was also called a "tunnel of love" at some amusement parks.

For more information, see the full version of this real photo postcard (below).

The caption on this photo tells us that these fellows worked in the Electrical Department at Luna Park in 1910. But was it the original Luna Park at Coney Island ? And what location in the park did they choose for their photo? Looks like they may be sitting on a flume or water-chute, and there's a water wheel behind them, so perhaps it's some kind of water ride. Mouse over the image above for a closer view of the men.

"The Chocolate and Cocoa Town."

A good motto for times like these. 8-)
