And there was a plumbing strike. And the plumbing was not functioning. So people looking to get water to kind of cool down were totally out of luck. So it was a very unlucky day.

I mean, there were pretty spectacular amusement parks before Disneyland. You know, we look to Luna Park and Coney Island obviously had their heyday in the early 1900s. And they were astonishing.

I think later on, as the interest in amusement parks kind of waned, places like Coney Island did develop a seedier reputation. But when they first started, they were really just the height of entertainment for people.
