	amusement park
		Amusement park is the more generic term for a collection of amusement rides and other entertainment attractions assembled for the purpose of entertaining a fairly large group of people.
		An amusement park is more elaborate than a simple city park or playground, as an amusement park is meant to cater to adults, teenagers and small children.
		The original amusement parks were the historical precursors to the modern theme parks as well as the more traditional midway arcades and rides at county and state fairs (in the United States).

	Review \| Dreamland
		When writing a novel set amongst New York's Coney Island amusement parks during the first decade of the 20th century, an author's greatest challenge may be to make the features and follies of those places seem credible.
		Dreamland is a tight ball of yarns -- humorous, romantic, and violent -- that occur not only in the amusement park, but around Manhattan's Lower East Side, a polyglottish province of mobsters, shadowy bars, opium dens, crooked politicians, and impoverished immigrants.
		Dreamland's juxtaposition of Coney Island against the Lower East Side -- the high life vs. the low -- is served well by the author's attention to period details.

		"As somebody who was born in an amusement park, I think it is vitally important that the contribution they have made towards leisure history is being preserved," she says.
		It was, of course, the ideal place for first dates, though by the time I was interested in girls Dreamland had briefly changed its name to Bembom Brothers and become a "theme park" (though no one knew what the theme was) which charged for admission rather than for each ride.
		The amusement park was eventually sold on, and the current owner, Jimmy Godden, has reverted to the Dreamland name for what is now looking more like an old-fashioned fairground than an Alton Towers wannabe.
