Luna Park
Frederic Thompson was the creator of the park, the and Elmer "Skip" Dundy, his parter, created a wildly successful ride called "A Trip To The Moon", a part of the Pan-American Exposition in 1901 at Buffalo, New York. The name of the park "Luna" referred the Latin word for the moon.
The designers moved their show to Steeplechase Park (a Coney Island amusement park) for the invitation of Steeplechase owner Harry George Tilyou in 1902. At the end of that season, the partners rebuilt an older amusement park, the Sea Lion Park as Luna park, which later became the second major amusement park in Coney Island.
