The park opened in 1994 at a cost of $4 Million,[2] as an expansion of Hobby City, a nearby 6-acre (24,000 m2) [3] collection of novelty shops and museums. The park was initially marketed to families with children, as an affordable alternative to other Southern California area theme parks such as Disneyland, also in Anaheim, and Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park. Hobby City's original miniature railroad attraction, which opened in 1938 (25 years before the park opened), was extended and incorporated into the new park.[4] A classic 1946 Carousel was also part of the parks opening day attractions roster.[5]
In 1999, the park purchased and refurbished a classic 1950s-era Wild Mouse style rollercoaster from an Amusement company in Brisbane, Australia.[6] The park named its new roller coaster "Tree Top Racers", and expanded its boundaries westward into an adjacent former parking area to incorporate its new attraction. The ride was the park's first new attraction since opening, adding to its collection of classic rides.[7]
In 2005, the park opened "Drop Zone", its second new attraction since opening day.
