Wonderland Amusement Park (San Diego)

[3] It featured the largest roller coaster on the West Coast, called the Blue Streak Racer, as well as a carousel, water slide, and carnival games.

[3] Additional amusements were a dance hall, bowling alley, roller skating rink, and salt-water bathing plunge.

The formerly 2+1⁄2-hour trip to the beach from central San Diego had been reduced to a 40-minute trolley ride in 1909 by the construction of the Point Loma Railroad by developer D. C.

[1] The menagerie was rented to the Panama–California Exposition in Balboa Park during its run (1915–16); the animals were eventually sold to the fledgling San Diego Zoo.

[5] A KPBS-TV public television series about the history and neighborhoods of San Diego is called Wonderland after the amusement park.
