Songs about amusement parks

Does anyone know about songs written about actual or fictional amusement parks and what about songs about roller coasters?
If so anyone got any links?

"Down at Palisades Park" was a Freddy Cannon hit back in 1962. Palisades was a great amusment park back in its day until it was sold to a Texas based development corporation. Then it was rezoned, demolished, and replaced by bland apartment buidlings.

Weird Al's "A complicated song" has a verse about riding a coaster.

Isn't there like something like Life is a rollercoaster by Linkin Park?

There's a line in one of Relien K's songs that talks about "Lost my phone beneath the Batman ride" obviously referring to the coaster.

Um, no.

I think you're thinking about "Life is a highway" by Tom Cochrane

You might be thinking of Love Rollercoaster by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Conneaut Lake Park's jingle . . . ahhh, how it reminds me of the day I drove all the way there to find out it was closed and be mauled by retarded kids. (true story)

[URL="http://www.conneautlakepark.com/html/radio_spots.html"]http://www.conneautlakepark.com/html/radio_spots.html[/URL]

And, not quite a song, but the advertisement for Skull Mountain at SFGAdv back in 96.

There was a song someone found a few years ago by a group called The Dirt Bombs or something similar. The song was called "Cedar Point '76," and it mentioned the arcade, Corkscrew and a line or something.
