But then as I read further, in the sections for each individual park, I realized that I´d be getting mainly history for each park. ACE will (tentatively) be holding their annual Coaster Convention in the Pennsylvania parks in 2010 and I bought this book thinking I´d be getting up to date information on each park, such as I do reading DisneyLand or DisneyWorld books, so I was disappointed. But, I must say, as a history book, it is very interesting. Four out of five stars.. And summed up by saying Should Be Titled ´History Of Amusement Parks Of Pennsylvania´. Currently Amusement Parks of Pennsylvania has an overall rating of 8 over 10.
