An Unusual Park
On this day in 1885, the roller coaster was patented by L.A. Thompson. Tell us about a time you visited an amusement park.
When my children were younger, I went to an unusual amusement park. It had a small roller coaster and other small rides. It wasn't a large place, however, in the centre of this place were two buildings you walked into and it was like going back in time.
The first one was a Victorian street with a very realistic horse standing on the street attached to a cart. You were able to go into the houses and see what the inside of a Victorian house looked like. There were figures in there, they made it look as if people were there going about their daily lives.
The second one I found quite disturbing. It was another street, this time it was set in World War II. A large hole lay on one side of the street as if a bomb had landed there and air-raid sirens were in the background. Lights shone up as if looking for aeroplanes in the sky and the only light you could see was from a shop. Of course, the shop would have been in darkness in reality. This shop had in its window so many original packages representing what would have been on sale at the time.
I have to say that these two places have stuck in my mind until the present day because of how real they felt.
