Here is the Games Building at Cedar Point, Sandusky Ohio. Cedar
Point is one of the most popular seasonal amusement parks in the
country and home to 12 roller coasters.
Cedar Point is ideally located on a peninsula that juts out into Lake
Erie, and is a total vacation resort. Despite a recent modernization effort,
a few traditional elements, including the Fascination Building facade,
still remain in this park that has been in operation for over a century.

Over in Riverside
Park, Massachusetts is a "good little wood coaster" that's
been servicing thrill seekers since 1940. The Thunderbolt is one of the old classic wooden roller coasters sporting a great
neon entranceway.
UPDATE : Riverside
Park in Agawam was bought by Six Flags and has been converted to
a mega park as is their style. However the good news is the coaster
has survived the change. Many thanks to Paul Roy for update.

The Lakeside Amusement Park has been around since 1908. In one
roadside travelers opinion (I wonder who), Lakeside is "easily America's
art deco and neon capital."

Some more potentially great neon in Lakeside Amusement Park. Perhaps
the mystery traveler may be right. Then again,
maybe not.

Just look at the lettering on the Autoskooter ride at Lakeside Park.
