Summary
Details

Put Down the Pixie Dust and Step Away from the Mouse!

The stuff that's not supposed to happen at amusement parks is often more AMAZING than the stuff that does. Death and dismemberment. World records and walks of shame. Civil rights and creepy rides. Melees and marriages. Sex, cockroaches, evangelists-you won't believe your eyes!

From Disneyland to Dogpatch USA, pop culture maven Nathaniel Tolle has gathered the strangest, the silliest, the spookiest, the most amazing amusement park stories-all of them true! The human condition reveals itself on roller coasters and log flume rides, in haunted mansions and rickety relics from bygone eras, and under the bright and not-so-bright lights of amusement parks from around the world.

Your admission buys you:

Amusement park brawls between impatient parents, Pentecostal punks, deer skinners, Muslims, and other grouchy guests

Amusement park love stories, including morbid marriage in a haunted house and a woman in lust with her gondola

Amusement park tragedies, from blunt force trauma to immolation

Amusement park believe-it-or-not, including dead outlaws, crematorium rides, rat ladies, and radioactive roller coasters

Plus dozens more stories that won't make you pull down on your lap bar, with special sections on amusement park video games and sitcom specials!
