luna park, coney island

Luna Park was an amusement park at Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York City from 1903 to 1944. Its creators, Frederick Thompson and Skip Dundy, created a wildly successful ride called "A Trip To The Moon", a part of the Pan-American Exposition in 1901 at Buffalo, New York. They moved their show to Steeplechase Park, a Coney Island amusement park, for the 1902 season. At the end of that season, the partners obtained a long-term lease for the site of an older amusement park, and built Luna Park there. A pair of fires in 1944 damaged Luna Park, destroying much of it. It was not rebuilt and didn't open for the 1945 season. After a legal battle and a third fire in 1946, the land was used for other purposes. Several other Luna Parks were developed around the world including two still operating in Melbourne 1912 and Sydney 1930 Australia, these parks copied some of the features as well as the name of the original.
