Amusement rides on the National Register of Historic Places
Amusement rides currently and previously listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) are located throughout the United States.[1] These ride listings consist mainly of 54 carousels (49 listed and 5 delisted), but also include 6 roller coasters (5 listed and 1 delisted), 3 trains (all 3 listed), and 2 rides that are other types (both listed).[1] Many of these rides with NRHP status operate within amusement parks, with more than one present in Cedar Point in Ohio, Lagoon in Utah, and Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk in California (the NRHP-listed carousel and roller coaster in the latter share the same listing).[1] NRHP rides are also run in public parks, museums, zoos, and as stand-alone attractions, with high concentrations in New York City (especially in Luna Park along the Riegelmann Boardwalk in Coney Island), the Greater Binghamton area in New York state, and Portland, Oregon.[1]
The creation of NRHP listings started after the National Historic Preservation Act was signed into law in 1966, and the first amusement ride listing was added in 1975 for the Idora Park Merry-Go-Round in Ohio (delisted in 1985 and now operating in New York City).[1][2][3] The listing for the Crescent Park Looff Carousel in Rhode Island was added in 1976 and is the ride that has existed on the NRHP the longest.[1] The listing for the Portland Zoo Railway Historic District in Oregon was created in 2020 and is the newest ride entry on the NRHP.[1] Several NRHP-listed rides, including the Leap-the-Dips roller coaster in Pennsylvania, have a higher National Historic Landmark status, a distinction granted to NRHP entries with national significance.[1] Of the nearly 100,000 NRHP listings as of July 2024, fewer than 100 are for amusement rides (see tables below).[1] The tables in this article only include NRHP entries that focus on individual rides and do not include historic districts or National Historic Landmark Districts that currently (or previously) contain multiple rides.[1]
