scenic railway
Thrill ride track
A scenic railway is an amusement park ride—a gentle roller coaster that travels through tunnels or past elaborate painted scenery, dioramas, or animatronic displays.
The term also applies to mountain railways built primarily for sightseeing rather than transportation: We took the scenic railway up to the summit.
