The early 20th century marked the explosion of iconic parks: Sea Lion Park (1895), Luna Park (opened 1903), Steeplechase Park, and Dreamland (opened 1904). These parks competed fiercely, drawing millions annually with rides, sideshows, and spectacles. Dreamland’s majestic tower stood as a symbol until it burned in 1911. The period was marked by innovation, lavish entertainment, and even controversies, setting a template for American amusement parks.
