Dispatch Canyon

Dispatch Canyon is a popular amusement park located in Phoenix Arizona known for its rides.

History & Legacy
The Idea for the park began back in 1946 when a producer at Phoenix Radio (Henry Gallion) heard about the first portable air conditioner Henry suspected that with the invention it would cause people to flock to Arizona since the air conditioning could make life in Arizona "bearable" which could open up a very profitable amusement park or any other entertainment center, But upper management thought that it was unlikely that such a thing could happen so wanting to pursue this idea Henry left Phoenix Radio in Late 1946 to pursue this theme park idea, After awhile he bought a 12 Mile Area in Phoenix Arizona and on June 1st 1948 Dispatch Canyon opened with Five Rides (All still exists= today), In 1952 The Park would see major success when they built a rollercoaster named the Dispatch Wren (The Wren part of the name is named after Arizona's State Bird the Cactus Wren) a wooden rollercoaster, When the rollercoaster opened in 1952 it skyrocketed the park's popularity,                             During the following years the park would expand and today attracts around 35 Million People a year and now is one of the most famous theme parks in the Southwest United States Area.
