# Adventure City

Adventure City is an amusement park in Stanton, California, United States. Occupying an area of just over 2 acres (0.81 ha), Adventure City is one of the smallest theme parks in California, and receives an average attendance of between 200,000 and 400,000 visitors per year. The Coca-Cola Company is the park's only major sponsor.
The park sits on the boundary between Anaheim and Stanton. Though the park advertises itself as being within the city of Anaheim, the physical location of the park is in Stanton while the parking lot and main entrance are in Anaheim.

## History

The park opened in 1994 at a cost of $4 million, as an expansion of Hobby City, a nearby 6-acre (2.4 ha) collection of novelty shops and museums. The park was initially marketed to families with children as an affordable alternative to other amusement parks in Greater Los Angeles. 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. A classic 1946 carousel was also part of the park's opening day attractions roster.
In 1999, the park purchased and refurbished a classic 1950s-era Wild Mouse style roller coaster from an amusement company in Brisbane, Australia. The park named the coaster Tree Top Racers, and expanded its boundaries westward into an adjacent former parking area to incorporate the new attraction. The ride was the park's first new attraction since opening, adding to its collection of classic rides. In 2012, Tree Top Racers was permanently closed.
In 2005, the park opened Drop Zone, its second new attraction since opening day, next to Tree Top Racers. In 2015, Rewind Racers, a $2 million family shuttle coaster, opened on the former site of Tree Top Racers in time for the park's 20th anniversary. The ride is a first-of-its-kind attraction in North America, built by Gerstlauer, a German ride manufacturer, and the largest single investment in the park's history.
