The National Amusement Park Historical Association (NAPHA) was founded in 1978 by a former employee of Chicago's Riverview Amusement Park, and NAPHA has grown throughout a long period of time to include amusement parks from all over the world. NAPHA preserves amusement park history and historic rides. It also tries to find new locations for classic rollercoasters or other rides. NAPHA holds conventions at theme parks from all around the world, and applicants must apply to become members.
