Savin Rock Amusement Park, Former amusement park in West Haven, Connecticut
This seaside entertainment complex extended along a mile-long midway featuring multiple roller coasters, water rides, carousels, and numerous gaming attractions.
The park originated in the 1870s when entrepreneur George Kelsey extended trolley lines and constructed a 1,500-foot pier for ferry service at Beach Street.
The park generated 1.2 million annual visitors by 1919, establishing itself as Connecticut's premier entertainment destination comparable to New York's Coney Island.
The Savin Rock Museum now preserves artifacts, photographs, and memorabilia from the original park, allowing visitors to explore its rich entertainment heritage.
Liberty Pier, added in 1922, introduced The Devil roller coaster and Bluebeard's Castle funhouse before the Great Hurricane of 1938 destroyed multiple structures.
