Adventure City


A theme park located in Anaheim, where it’s slogan is “The Little Theme Park that’s BIG on Family Fun”. The Coca-Cola Company, is the park’s only major sponsor. The park opened in 1994 at a cost of $4 Million, as an expansion of Hobby City, a nearby 6-acre (24,000 m2) collection of novelty shops and museums. In 1999, the park purchased and refurbished a classic 1950s-era Wild Mouse style rollercoaster from an Amusement company in Brisbane, Australia. The park named its new roller coaster “Tree Top Racers”, and expanded its boundaries westward into an adjacent former parking area to incorporate its new attraction. The ride was the park’s first new attraction since opening, adding to its collection of classic rides.
