| book description |

Hold on tight for a thrilling ride 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 medieval charter fairs and Victorian steam-powered rides to the wild days of Coney Island and the opening of Disneyland. Meet the inventors who used physics to create heart-stopping thrills and discover the science behind the rides, including how steam engines work and why rollercoasters don’t need engines to soar. With clear explanations brought to life in Roozeboos’ energetic illustrations, every page captures all the fun of the fair. This is the perfect gift for budding historians, scientists and thrill-seekers alike.
