Shoreview Park
A classic amusement park.
Shoreview is why Fox Amusements exists as a park company. It was a small historic trolley park in Iowa, the sort that usually vanishes. Fox Creek Construction had already built and rebuilt its wood. Buying the park was the only way to keep the work standing. Headquarters is still down the road. The coaster still uses the lake. The carousel still means Saturday.
