The traditional American amusement park entertained millions of people as early as the late 1800s. The emergence of the amusement park was related to a number of significant demographic and economic changes corresponding with urbanization including rising incomes, increases in leisure time, progressions in technologies and the extension of transportation systems. The decline and ultimate abandonment by the public of these entertainment venues began in the 1930s yet quickly escalated following the Second World War. The diffusion of the automobile, the mass movement of populations to suburbia, the prominence of disorder in these urban amusement areas, the popularity of television, and the rapid reality of amusement leaving the city and moving to the suburb all negatively affected amusement park popularity. To a considerable degree, the fates of these spaces were closely connected to the cities with which they were associated.
