Editorial Review for Lakeside Amusement Park – by Cristina De Leon
In Short
One of the nation's oldest amusement parks, this Denver landmark offers thrills for all types of visitors. Rides range from the classic ferris wheel--also built in 1908--to the famous Lakeside Cyclone Coaster, which is an accredited classic by the American Coaster Enthusiast's club. Because of its unique lakeside location, the park also features bumper boats and steam trains that run near the water.

This place has great rides and is a real "amusement park" - not some "theme" park that's primary purpose is to extract green-backs from your pocket. What is sad about this park is that when I read other reviews talking about it being "dirty" or old- what you really see is that its not just plastic and steel themes. Underlying this is that a multi-ethnic mix or people go to this park. Here, my 5 year old blonde/blue son rides with all ethnicities and all economic backgrounds. When we go to Elitches its suburban white families, standing in line for endless hours. So back to the place- whether its the great steel ferris wheel (which my son says "we can see the whole world" - not quite ;-) ) or the authentic steam locomotive, 2 fantastic coaster (yes- the Wild Chipmunk is worth its name!) or variations on traditional carnival rides, the underlying theme is fun at the park. Catch this park before it becomes history- undoubtedly it will.

Yes, Lakeside is old, but that is what makes it Lakeside, the entire park is living history today. The rides are older, not the highest, nor fastest, but you can go to this park with the entire family and not take out a second mortgage on the house. And if you have any interest in american amusement park history---WOW, you can spend an entire day just looking at it all.
