This project was began on June 25, 2016, and first made public on XXXX (after the Facebook group got a sneak-peak on 8/12/2016).
Goal
The goal of this site is to collect history and current information about the park in one place. The official website has one page covering park history. This site will fill in the gaps and provide extensive coverage of every area, ride, shop, show and food location in the park.
Consider the Adventureland Wikipedia page to be the Cliff's Notes for the park, and this site to be the full book.
