Which came first Coney Island or Disneyland?

Coney Island as a recreation facility dates back to the 1800s.  In 1876, the first carousel was installed.\n\nDisneyland didn't open until 1955, almost 80 years later.  Walt Disney created the concept for Disneyland as an alternative to places like Coney Island which was known for being dirty and having an non-family-friendly atmosphere.

1946: Evansville, Indiana, industrialist Louis J. Koch; Santa Claus Land\n\nHe was troubled that the tiny hamlet of Santa Claus, Indiana, was visited by children from throughout the country who were ultimately disappointed when they found out Santa was not there. With nine children of his own, Koch loved children, holidays and celebrations.\n\nKnott's Berry Farm claims it was the first theme park, but its history, reaching to the 1920s, was first as a restaurant, then added their "ghost town" in the 1930s, but did not really become any kind of amusement park until 1968.

Actually this is a very good & profound question. I could give a really really long answer but I'm gonna' keep it short & sweet. The connection is #1 Jodie, Rory, & Mickey have all been to Disneyland in California. Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Paris Disney in Paris, France. Tokyo Disney in Tokyo, Japan. They have not been to Disney in China yet. #2 Jodie, Mickey, & Rory have all been on Yahoo Answers! more than once.

Not sure of the question. At Disneyland, Main Street USA leads to the central Hub in front of the castle which leads to four lands: Frontierland, Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, and Adventureland. As the park expanded several new areas were added which can only be reached by passing through the other lands: New Orleans Square, Critter Country and Toontown.

Ellis Island, Lots of info, here is some to get you started, good luck.\n\nEllis Island, at the mouth of the Hudson River in New York Harbor, was at one time the main immigration port for immigrants entering the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.\n\nThe federal immigration station opened on January 1, 1892 and was closed in November 1954 but not before processing more than 12 million immigrants. Previously immigrants were processed at Castle Clinton. Only about 2 percent were denied admission to the U.S. and sent back to their countries of origin for reasons such as chronic disease, criminal background, or insanity [1]. Immigrants were examined by both doctors and questioned by government officials. Many who were allowed entry settled in New York and northern New Jersey for at least their first few years in America. During this time period, Angel Island ( between Alcatraz and the Pacific Ocean), California in San Francisco Bay served a similar purpose on the West Coast, processing mostly Chinese immigrants.\n\n \nEllis Island immigrants as depicted in a USPS stampEllis Island was the first stop for most immigrants from Europe. There, they were processed before they could enter the United States. First, they had to pass a physical examination. Those with serious health problems or diseases were sent home or were held in the island's hospital facilities for long periods of time. Next, they were asked a series of questions, including name, occupation, work experience, and the amount of money they carried with them. Generally, those immigrants who were approved spent from hours up to a day at the island. However, more than three thousand would-be immigrants died on Ellis Island while being held in the hospital facilities. Some unskilled workers and infirm migrants were rejected outright because they were considered "likely to become a public charge."\n\nAfter 1924, Ellis Island was only used for detainees and refugees. Ordinary immigrants were processed through other facilities.\nAs with all historic areas administered by the National Park Service, Ellis Island National Monument, along with Statue of Liberty National Monument, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966.

After having lost the rights to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Disney had to develop a new "star". Most Disney biographies state that Walt came up with a mouse character on his trip back from New York. It is debated whether it was he, or Ub Iwerks who actually designed the mouse (which basically looked like Oswald, but with round instead of long ears). The first films were animated by Iwerks, his name was prominently featured on the title cards. The mouse was originally named "Mortimer", but later christened "Mickey Mouse" by Lillian Disney.

Disneyland is perfect for kids their age! But if you want to go to a beach, I'd say Myrtle Beach is a very family-oriented beach and a great place to take the kids! It's located in South Carolina.

Well, if you count Eden as the first named place. The second is the land of Nod.

Disneyland is a business that caters to people and families. They set the standard and are good at it. "Supporting" them by attending one of their parks is a matter of choice. But, apparently a lot of folks like it.\n\nA business only survives when it provides a product people want, and a great many people like the product the Disney Corporation makes available.
