THEME AND AMUSEMENT PARKS
The term "theme park" may have been invented in the post-Disneyland
era, but the concept has been around for hundreds of years. Bakken, in
Copenhagen, which claims to be the world's oldest amusement park, dates
back to the sixteenth century, and world's fairs and exhibitions have been
entertaining the masses since the Victorian Era (if not earlier).
Chances are, there's a theme park or amusement park within com-
muting distance of your vacation spot. These Web sites can help you check
what's available:
This aptly named collection of pages has links to hundreds of parks,
rides, observation towers, and related sites.
Theme Parks
Robert Brown interprets his topic broadly, providing vast numbers
of links and scores of articles on theme parks, amusement parks,
and zoos around the world. Don't miss the "Ride Physics" links,
which will help you understand how engineers harness the forces of
nature to leave you trembling after a 60-second ride.
Theme Parks Forum
Theme Parks Forum has bulletin boards and
chat rooms
Personal plug: One of my own favorite theme parks is Legoland in
Billund Denmark. A U.S. version recently opened in Carlsbad, California,
just north of San Diego . You can visit its Web site at
http://www.legolandca.com.
Finally, if you happen to visit Copenhagen between late April and
late September, allow at least half a day for:
Tivoli Gardens
http://www.tivoligardens.com
Tivoli 's charter required that 75% of the site had to be open space
and that rule—still observed—is one reason why Tivoli feels more
like a public garden than a theme park. A buglike roller coaster
whirls through the treetops; a Ferris wheel overlooks park benches
and flower beds; small motorboats make circles on a scenic lake
While teenagers play games in video arcades, their younger
siblings enjoy a clown show or wave at the costumed king and
queen (both children) in the Tivoli Guard parade. Business people
wheel and deal over expense account meals, and lovers cuddle on
benches as 110,000 bulbs create a romantic glow from dusk until
midnight or 1:00 A.M.
