Crystal Beach Park, Amusement park in Crystal Beach, Ontario, Canada.
The park extended along Lake Erie shoreline with roller coasters, carnival rides, and games spread across a waterfront entertainment complex.
Founded as a religious campground in 1888, Crystal Beach Park transformed into an amusement destination when The Crystal Beach Company formed in 1890.
The Crystal Ballroom, which opened in 1925, became North America's largest dance hall, accommodating 3,000 dancers and featuring performances from major bands.
The park connected to Buffalo through ferry service, with vessels like Canadiana and Americana transporting thousands of visitors across Lake Erie daily.
The Cyclone roller coaster, constructed in 1927, featured an unconventional track layout with continuous twisted turns, making it notably demanding to maintain.
