If you're really interested in theme park history, this is The Book. It's a true scientific approach to the theme parks phenomenon. Do not expect nice glittering pictures with awkward sentences inside; it's not a coffee table book, but a truly useful, well documented and referenced text. A certain Must, undoubtedly.
I used this as a reference for a paper on theme parks. It got the job done
