Theme Parks Maps Gallery

How does maps changes thorugh the years?
What is supposed to be more appealing or interesting to show?
Which informations are crucial and which ones may be skipped, instead.
Here is the gallery of maps of theme parks...

- Parkings disappears (they become obvious - and probably too big to be represented)
- 3d perspective dominates
- ...

The one that really surprised me is the map by Marine World in Redwood City, California (1960)

it seems a Google Map screenshot

And here is the oldest one - Bellevue, Manchester UK (1931)

no colors, no 3d... (and no Playstation or Imax to influence the imagery)

I was curious to see which kind of cars where supposed to fill those parking lots and,
just in case you are, here are some examples...

Dodge


Buick


Ford
