Two Mile Amusement Loop at 1939 New York Fair
The 1939 World’s Fair plans a 280 acre amusement zone with a two mile looped thoroughfare and a 70 foot facade. Grover Wason states the fair will be the largest and boldest yet with a $1.6 million State amphitheatre and marine stage on Meadow Lake. The layout promises extensive shows rides and eating places along the lake shore.
