1907 First Electric Amusement Park Kansas City Missouri

1907 vintage lithograph postcard of the "Kansas City's Coney Island," Electric Park became the inspiration for Walt Disney's Disney World.

The Heim brothers built the first Electric Park on land adjacent to the Heim Brothers Brewery (at the time the largest brewery in the world) in East Bottoms. The amusement park was bounded by Montgall, Chestnut, Nicholson, and Rochester Avenues. Featuring a Shoot-the-Chutes ride (called the Mystic Chute), the park also had a beer garden with beer piped directly from the brewery next door.

Electric Park was an amusement park in Kansas City, Missouri, that was constructed by Joseph Heim and his brothers Michael and Ferdinand Jr.
