Investment in Amusement Parks Surges to 100 Million
The Railway and Engineering Review says summer amusement park investment in the country will reach 100 million dollars this year. It notes about 2,000 parks exist, three quarters run by railway interests, with many smaller resorts not counted. The estimate may reflect advertised costs rather than actual spends, but highlights a transportation development trend. Andrew Carnegiestone remarks on America as a great mixer in a New York speech at the cornerstone laying of the United Engineering building, noting mixing of philosophies, systems, economies, religions, and races. A social philosopher questions whether this creates a useful blend or a fragmented, disassembled order.
