Excelsior Amusement Park
Excelsior Amusement Park was located on Lake Minnetonka in the town of Excelsior, Minnesota. The park, which operated from 1925 to 1973, was a popular destination for company picnics and day trips from the Twin Cities.〔(Amusement parks of the Twin Cities ) ''slphistory.org''.

==Attractions==
Inspired by Coney Island, the park's main attractions included a wooden roller coaster called the Cyclone,〔(Cyclone roller coaster ) ''mndigital.org''. Retrieved: September 6, 2014.〕 a Ferris wheel, bumper cars, boat rides, a fun house, and a carousel. The fun house had a gunny sack slide, a spinning disc that hurled people into a padded sidewall and a turning barrel that was nearly impossible to walk through. The carousel,〔(Carousel ) ''mnhs.org''. Retrieved: July 10, 2013.〕 built by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, was in service for the entire duration of the park and is still in use at Valleyfair Amusement Park in Shakopee.〔 A second ride, the Scrambler,〔(Scrambler ) ''mndigital.org''. Retrieved: July 10, 2013.〕 was also saved from destruction.〔(Historical Questions and Answers about Lake Minnetonka ) ''lakeminnetonkamag.com''. Retrieved: July 10, 2013.〕 Contrary to widespread belief, the Cyclone roller coaster was not relocated to Valleyfair and renamed High Roller. The Cyclone was scrapped, and High Roller was designed especially for the new park.〔Karal Ann Marling, "Thrills and nostalgia: the amusement parks of Hennepin County" ''Hennepin History'' (Fall 1990).
