3 Views of 3 Amusement Parks

3 random views of 3 different amusement parks. First up is a view of the sign at Marineland, the World's only 3 ring sea circus.

A great image of a colorful tea cup ride in a Mexican amusement park. This is a cute little ride.

My favorite picture is from Belmont Park in San Diego, in front of the bumper car ride with the roller coaster in the background.

Were teacup rides around before Disneyland? There sure were a lot of versions afterwards. The middle pic is my favorite!

I'm having trouble opening that last pic! The rollercoaster in the background is the Giant Dipper which opened in 1925 and was completely restored in 1990. It's still running today!

How did that teacup ride work without the teacups smashing into each other? Could it have been similar to Francis' Ladybug Boogie at California Adventure where the vehicles cross over to the other circle and follow a figure eight path?
