Theme Park Discussion / Inspirational theme park pictures

OK, so my idea for this thread is to post beautiful pictures of theme parks and rides and theming and whatnot that we could all use for inspiration when building rct parks (I know this is technically non-rct discussion, but it also fits under theme parks so whatever). I'll give some examples to start the thread off of some amazing pictures I found of old coney island.

seriously, how amazing does coney island circa 1920s look? it looks freaking magical. I wish I could go there so bad... its a real shame what happened to the area.

I have a whole folder of Coney stuff and the whole 1920's amusement park thing, I used them for reference when building Southport, some of the stuff is quite spectacular.

Yeah, I have a similar folder for a Luna Park thing I started originally for a Road Rally round (New York finals, I believe). Didn't see those before, though.

I'd love to see some of your guys luna park pics then

Luna park kicks ass.

I also love the lot (Tornado and Thunderbolt) coasters at Coney Island, as well as the Aeroplane from Playland Park.
