Amusement Park

Welcome to Wahoo World.

Amusement parks are popular locations for confrontations, probably because there's so much neat stuff to play around with:

• The roller coaster gives our hero a chance to show off their reflexes.
• The Ferris wheel. Not for acrophobics, great for romantics.
• The haunted house. Forget the plastic spiders and fake ghosts, there's an actual scary villain in there somewhere!
• Creepy Hostile Animatronics, whether actually haunted or merely remotely controlled by said villain.
• Carnival games to show off the heroes' skill (or lack thereof) with guns or throwing.
• And, of course, the Hall of Mirrors, which is a trope of its own.

The amusement park is often abandoned or just closed for the night, which is an easy way of making things creepier, but it may also be open for business with the villain hiding in the crowd.

If it's abandoned or haunted, see Circus of Fear.

If the villain has booby-trapped the park (or has actually built the park for nefarious purposes), it's an Amusement Park of Doom.

See also Souvenir Land for the common stereotypical and less-exciting version and Theme Parks for when it becomes more of a medium. Compare Pinball Zone.

When Pinocchio reaches the end of the roller coaster, he must dodge the fireworks that Lampwick lights.

• Silent Hill: The Amusement Park is the seat of several cherished memories for the protagonists of the first and third games, as well as Shattered Memories, as well as the origin point for blood-spattered creepy series mascot Robbie the Rabbit, and it's home to some of the creepiest fights in the entire series, particularly in 3.

  • The map of World Bowser in Super Mario 3D World is a rainbow-colored amusement park, as are some of its levels (The Bowser Express, The Great Tower of Bowser Land, and the two battle arenas where Motley Bossblob and Queen Hisstocrat are fought). Other levels in the game mix this setting with Circus of Fear.
  • Baby Park from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and the games where it's present as a retro course. It consists of a compact racetrack surrounded by several other attractions. Due to its short length, drivers have to accumulate seven laps to win. It makes a return in Mario Kart DS, Mario Kart Tour and (as DLC) Mario Kart 8; in the former two, it's only necessary to run five laps.
  • Yoshi Park in Mario Super Sluggers features a roller coaster and a train in the background. The train is a gimmick of the ballpark that can knock out the outfielders temporarily, possibly ruining an attempt to steal a home run.
  • Mario Party 4: Toad's Midway Madness. It was built by Toad (its host) because he loves amusement parks and wants to share that love with his friends as well as visitors. There's an orange-colored coaster track that passes through the middle parts of the board's layout; at first it looks like mere decoration but, when a player steps on one of its Event Spaces, a rocket kart will begin moving through the track and chase all players across that part of the board. However, it's also possible to voluntarily ride the kart (which gives them the chance to gather coins).

This is amusement park themed after Mishy, the mascot of the game's creator, Nihon Falcom. It also features his relations, such as sister Mishette and Mecha Mishy. In Cold Steel IV, an entire segment is spent on it when your team rents it out for an evening.
• Wondersplenk in Wuppo. Complete with souvenirs, lineups, and a questionably valid Fortune Teller!
