Search Results - Amusement park

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Amusement park or theme park is the generic term for a collection of rides and other entertainment attractions assembled for the purpose of entertaining a large group of people. An amusement park is more elaborate than a simple city park or playground, usually providing attractions meant to cater to children, teenagers, and adults. A theme park is a type of amusement park which has been built around one or more themes, such as an American West theme, or Atlantis. Today, the terms amusement parks and theme parks are often used interchangeably.

Amusement parks evolved in Europe from fairs and pleasure gardens which were created for people’s recreation. The oldest amusement park of the world (opened 1583) is Bakken, at Klampenborg, north of Copenhagen, Denmark. In the United States, world's fairs and expositions were another influence on development of the amusement park industry.[1]

Most amusement parks have a fixed location, as compared to traveling funfairs and carnivals. These temporary types of amusement parks, are usually present for a few days or weeks per year, such as funfairs in the United Kingdom, and carnivals (temporarily set up in a vacant lot or parking lots) and fairs (temporarily operated in a fair ground) in the United States. The temporary nature of these fairs helps to convey the feeling that people are in a different place or time.

Often a theme park will have various 'lands' (sections) of the park devoted to telling a particular story. Non-theme amusement park rides will usually have little in terms of theming or additional design elements while in a theme park all the rides go all with the theme of the park, for example Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World.

The Power Of Ideas Walt Disney was in his late 30's when he got the idea for Disneyland. His daughters were young and he enjoyed taking them to the amusement park on Sundays. But while his daughters sat on the rides, he sat on the bench, munching peanuts and thinking. He thought about how much fun the parks were for kids - but not the adults who brought them. They were dirty, ugly and litter strewn and he wondered if it had to be that way. Most of all he thought of ways to build a park that would be bigger, brighter, cleaner and more fun for the whole family. It took 15 years for hi... (read more)
