In 1895 the first permanent amusement park was opened in North America named Sea Lion Park at Coney Island in Brooklyn. This was the first park to put tickets for rides within the parks and also changed the admission in parks. In 1897, Steeplechase Park also joined the Sea Lion Park. Because of the nearby populated New York City and the ease of the access to the area made Coney Island the embodiment of the American amusement parks. Coney Island became so popular that on Sundays it was visited by more than million people from all over the country.

During those days, fire was the main threat as most of these amusement parks were made mostly of wood. The first amusement park of the Coney Island that burnt down completely was Dreamland. In 1944, Luna Park also got burnt.
