Did You Know?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 gardens which were created for people’s recreation.
Upstate New York Amusement Parks & Theme Parks A full day of amusement is waiting for you at Darien Lake Theme Park Resort. Riders go from 0 to 40 mph on the brand new Moto-Coaster motorcycles in less than two seconds, and the Big Kahuna draws its water-park inspiration from nearby Niagara Falls for 700 feet of extreme tubing. For supermen and women alike, the Ride of Steel features a hair-raising 208-foot, 70-degree hill that rockets riders back to earth at 70 mph. If and when your equilibrium returns, stick around for this summer's concerts at the 20,000-seat Performing Arts Center
