About: Electric Park

An Entity of Type: PhysicalEntity100001930, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Electric Park was a name shared by dozens of amusement parks in the United States that were constructed as trolley parks and owned by electric companies and streetcar companies. After 1903, the success of Coney Island inspired a proliferation of parks named Luna Park and Electric Park, while the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 inspired the formation of White City amusement parks at roughly the same time. The existence of most of these parks was generally brief: the bulk of them closed by 1917, the year of the United States' entry into World War I. Many pavilions have outlasted the parks themselves, with a few of them still standing today.

  • Electric Park était un nom partagé par des dizaines de parcs d'attractions aux États-Unis qui ont été construits sur le principe des trolley parks et appartenant à des entreprises électriques et compagnies de tramway. Après 1903, le succès de Coney Island a inspiré une prolifération de parcs nommés Luna Park et Electric Park, tandis que l' Exposition universelle de 1893 a inspiré la formation de parcs nommés White City à peu près en même temps. L'existence de la plupart de ces parcs a été généralement brève : la plupart d'entre eux ont fermé en 1917, l'année de l'entrée des États-Unis dans la Première Guerre mondiale. (fr)
