Description
Hold on tight for a thrilling journey through the history of fairgrounds!
Step right up for an all-access pass to the past, present, and pulse-pounding mechanics of the fairground. This fascinating book uncovers the rich history of theme parks--from the charter fairs of medieval England and the steam-powered wonders of Victorian times to the wild days of Coney Island and the magic of Disneyland. Meet the inventors and dreamers who turned the laws of physics into heart-stopping thrills. Discover the science behind fairground rides, including how steam engines work, why rollercoasters don't need engines to soar, and more.
With clear, engaging explanations brought to life through Roozeboos' vibrant, energetic illustrations, every page captures all the fun of the fair. This is a perfect gift for young historians, budding scientists, and thrill-seekers alike. Hold on tight and enjoy the ride!
