History
The park opened in 1994 at a cost of $4 million, as an expansion of Hobby City, a nearby collection of novelty shops and museums. The park was initially marketed for families with children, as an affordable alternative to other California amusement parks such as Disneyland in Anaheim, Six Flags Magic Mountain in Santa Clarita, Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park and Universal Studios Hollywood in Universal City. Hobby City's original miniature railroad attraction, which opened in 1938, was extended and incorporated into the new park. A classic 1946 carousel was also part of the parks opening day attractions roster. In 1999, the park purchased and refurbished a classic 1950s-era Wild Mouse style rollercoaster from an amusement company in Brisbane, Australia. The park named its new roller coasterTree Top Racers, and expanded its boundaries westward into an adjacent former parking area to incorporate its new attraction. The ride was the park's first new attraction since opening, adding to its collection of classic rides. In 2012, Tree Top Racers was permanently closed. In 2005, the park opened Drop Zone, its second new attraction since opening day, next to Tree Top Racers. In 2015, Rewind Racers, a $2 million family shuttle coaster opened on the former site of Tree Top Racers in time for the park's 20th anniversary. The ride is a first of its kind attraction in North America, built by Gerstlauer, a German ride manufacturer, and the largest single investment in the park's history.
