Williams Grove Amusement Park, Amusement park in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, United States.
Williams Grove Amusement Park spans a large area featuring the Cyclone roller coaster, which extends 2300 feet in length and rises 65 feet high.
The park originated in 1850 as a picnic area, transformed into an entertainment venue in 1928 with the introduction of permanent rides.
The Great Grangers' Picnic Exhibition at Williams Grove attracted over 100,000 visitors from 30 states, establishing it as a regional social gathering point.
The park ceased operations in 2005 when the Hughes family shifted their focus to managing the adjacent Williams Grove Speedway facility.
The Cyclone roller coaster underwent a $500,000 restoration in 1997 after suffering damage from both a fire and snow-related structural collapse.
