Inextricably woven into the summer fabric of Western New York and Southern Ontario, the midway at Crystal Beach Park provided thrills for untold millions from 1890 through 1989. Crystal Beach Park ~ A Century of Screams (Screams) explores the modest picnic grove beginnings of the park, its growth into a major amusement center, and its decline and demise.
Not a book of nostalgia, Screams explores the physical growth and development of the park and the rides that populated the midway throughout its 100 seasons marked by watershed events in the park’s history. Traditional aspects of Crystal Beach history are examined and compared to period research findings.
