What was the first amusement park in the US?
Actually the first amusement park was created in the town of Santa Claus IN, which was appropriately named Santa Claus Land. Santa Clause Land opened for the first time in 1946 with Louis J. Koch standing at the front gates waving to everyone that were coming into the park. Santa Claus opened before Walt Disney World and that is a fact because you can see on Disney's Homepage that they opened October 1, 1971 Land You may now know Santa Claus Land as Holiday World & Splashin' Safari, which changed there name in 1984 when they had major ideas and changes is there not so distant future. This park is still running by the Koch family, and going strong!!
