Rides and attractions
A theme park is a large amusement park where rides, attractions, and entertainment are organized around a central concept or set of concepts—fantasy lands, movie franchises, historical periods, or cartoon characters.
Unlike traditional amusement parks, theme parks emphasize immersive environments and storytelling: We spent three days at the theme park.
Disneyland established the modern template.
