 RECOGNIZING THE LAND OF MAKE BELIEVE, THE WORLD'S GREATEST AMUSEMENT 
                                  PARK

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. THOMAS H. KEAN, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, August 26, 2025

  Mr. KEAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Land of Make 
Believe in Hope Township, Warren County the ``World's Greatest 
Amusement Park,'' the ``Most Iconic Amusement Park in New Jersey'' and 
the ``Number One Amusement Park in New Jersey.''
  The Land of Make Believe has provided lasting entertainment and fun 
in the Northern New Jersey area for over seven decades. Since its 
founding in 1954 by Herman Maier, the park has remained family-owned 
and operated, with the Maier family upholding the same high standards 
of excellence and service that have defined it from the beginning. 
These high standards also earned the Land of Make Believe the award of 
``Best Theme Park in New Jersey'' by MSN.com earlier this summer. 
Christopher Maier, Herman's son and the park's current owner, credited 
its most recent achievement to the park's enduring commitment to 
affordability, safety, and family-centered fun.
  As we celebrate this accomplishment, I invite my colleagues to join 
me in honoring this beloved institution and its legacy. I look forward 
to seeing it continue to bring joy to generations of families for years 
to come in Warren County and beyond.
