Magic Mountain (Images of Modern America)

Magic Mountain (Images of Modern America)

Nestled in the foothills of Golden, Colorado, construction started on Magic Mountain just two years after Disneylandâ€™s opening season. Through never-before-seen photographs, Magic Mountain tells the exciting story of the first attempt in America to spread the Disneyland model. The dream of a theme park in Colorado was conceived by Walter F. Cobb and designed by Marco Engineering of Los Angeles. The park saw tens of thousands of visitors, even during the construction period. They witnessed live gunfights and playhouse melodramas and took a ride on the Magic Mountain Railroad. Unfortunately, the park closed at the end of its premier season in 1960, but it would eventually evolve into Heritage Square. For over 40 years, this venue brought fun and entertainment to the young and young at heart, following Cobbâ€™s vision of a clean, entertaining, and educational park for the whole family.
