Assif Shameen: Taking the Mickey out of theme parks

ALTHOUGH ANIMATOR Walt Disney didn’t invent carousels or roller coasters, or even Knott’s Berry Farm, he did help create the cartoon rodent that has touched children for over 80 years. Indeed, Disney — the enterprise and the man — is almost as famous today for its amusement parks as it is for cartoon characters or animation blockbusters.
Theme parks may be all the rage these days, yet rides and attractions are as old as country fairs and carnivals that date back centuries. In the age of mega-malls with their own vast playgrounds and themed areas, even the term “amusement park” is a misnomer. I have seen my fair share — from disused former amusement park sites in the US that are decaying (New York’s Coney Island comes to mind) to Disneyland in Paris, Hong Kong and Tokyo Bay, Warner Bros Movie World in Australia’s Gold Coast, Luna Park in Sydney and LotteWorld in Seoul. Some are tatty and gaudy while others are barely tolerable, but most somehow just keep pulling the crowds in.
