Amusement Park (Facility)

An amusement park is a commercial entertainment facility featuring rides, games, and attractions. Unlike individual equipment, it refers to the entire park as a “product” of leisure services and infrastructure.

Type of Amusement Park

Parks can be theme parks (with cohesive themes and branded rides), water parks, family parks, or indoor entertainment centers. Attractions include both mechanical rides and non-ride experiences (shows, food courts).

Application in Various Industries

Amusement parks serve the recreational and tourism industries. They are not industrial products but operate in hospitality and leisure sectors. They stimulate local economies through tourism and provide entertainment.

Materials: Infrastructure uses reinforced concrete and steel (for buildings and ride supports). Rides use the materials noted above (steel, fiberglass). Surfaces (walkways, decor) use concrete, rubber tiles, wood, etc., chosen for durability and safety.

Material Selection Considerations

Safety and durability are top priorities. Materials must meet building codes and ride safety standards. Non-slip flooring (rubber or textured concrete), weather-resistant paints, and fire-retardant coatings are common. Landscaping and water features also influence material choice (tropical parks may use many plastics for humidity resistance, for example).
