Luna Park was an amusement park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, from 1905 to 1909. Constructed and owned by Frederick Ingersoll, the park occupied a 16 acre hilly site bounded by Baum Boulevard, North Craig Street, and Centre Avenue, and included roller coasters, picnic pavilions, carousels, a fun house, a Ferris wheel, a roller rink, a shoot-the-chutes ride, a concert shell, a dance hall, bumper cars, and a baby incubator exhibit. In its brief existence, the park featured regular performances of bands, acrobatic acts, animal acts, horse riders, and aerial acts.
Pittsburgh's Luna Park was the first Ingersoll park of that name (out of 44)[1] (Luna Park, Cleveland, also owned and built by Ingersoll, opened soon afterward), and the first amusement park to be covered with electrical lighting (67,000 light bulbs). The park cost $375,000 to construct; re-creating it from scratch would cost approximately $8,500,000.

Roleplaying games are fun!
When else to I get to be a conspiracy theorist with a taser that's actually a demon who works as the hired goon of a millionaire executive??
Is there anything that ISN'T a double-entendre, or should I continue destroying the Earth's ozone layer and framing innocent human civilization for it?
i suppose anything could hypothetically be a double-entendre, depending on the context, because of how language works. For instance, i could pick something which isn't normally considered a double-entendre, like 'ozone layer' or 'alligator', but then someone would probably turn it into one, or else they'd find some instance where someone used it as one in the past.
Double-entendres are harmless, mostly. You can talk about CD racks and nobody will think you're referring to breasts.

Er, no, i'm saying that it's inherently true that you can give words new meanings depending on the context. Also that the fact that a word can be used as a double-entendre doesn't mean that word is inherently corrupted.
Please don't kill anyone, even anyone who is already dead.

A storm will come one day
To blow us all away
Like dust on the moon
In Luna Park
It can't be dark
Too soon

There's a part of a local Pittsburgh amusement park, Kennywood, that's basically a tribute to it though
I mean, just look at it! It's so neat!
Because I mean perfectly harmless stuff-holders.
there was a historical torture device called a rack
a CD rack, however, is simply a thing that stores CDs
Trying to rack up some imipoints?
I didn't ask about "shelf", because the double-meaning was obvious there.
And I know that torture racks are a thing.
