Page "Luna Park" Paragraph 3

In 1905, Frederick Ingersoll was already making a reputation for his pioneering work in roller coaster construction and design ( he also designed scenic railroad rides ) when he opened Luna Parks in Pittsburgh and Cleveland, the first two amusement parks to be covered with electric lighting ( the former was adorned with 67, 000 light bulbs ; the Cleveland park had 50, 000 ).

Ultimately he opened 44 Luna Parks around the world, the first chain of amusement parks.
