Amusement 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 adults, teenagers, and small
children. 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.
Most amusement parks have a fixed location, as compared
to travelling 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... |
