Abstract
News stories in July 1904 gave the first inkling that a "Wonder Park" was coming to Pittsburgh from the minds of Thompson and Dundy, creators of Luna Park at Coney Island. When the splashiest feature ran in local papers, the spotlight was on Frederick Ingersoll, a local inventor, ride builder, and all-around booster of the amusement industry. His father and brothers were also in the business of building Figure Eight roller coasters and, lately, entire parks.
