This project was began on June 25, 2016, and first made public on August 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 a 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.

Sources

Information on this site comes from a variety of sources, and from a variety of people, including:

NOTE: The current official website's About Us page started out by taking a copy/paste from the Wikipedia. While it has been updated many times over the years, it still contains a few mistakes (including one edit that was vandalism). Read the details here.

He has been posting digital photos of theme parks since 1996, and had one of the first known internet sites covering Adventureland (years before the park had its own website). He is also the one that started the Adventureland page on Wikipedia back in January 6, 2006.
