What safety precautions do you see on each ride? Why are these required? What rules does the park have? Why are these rules necessary?
and contrast two rides. What material are they made from, how do they operate, how many people can ride?

After your visit:
Did the park have a theme? Where did you see examples of the theme? What theme would you use when creating a park? Why do people enjoy amusement parks?

Research the history of a ride or amusement park. Track how it has changed through the years.
