1. The Coasters -- Ride
   The first hydraulic launch coaster to feature inversions, this coaster will launch you from 0 to 72 miles per hour in 2 seconds. The ride goes 18 stories straight up, and then 18 stories straight down. You’ll fly through a 135 foot cobra loop, barrel rolls, and a dramatic flying snake dive.
2. Kirby Air Ride -- Top Ride
   In Kirby Air Ride you take to the circuits of Dream Land as you race around on Stars. Acceleration is automatic, so all you have to worry about is steering and boosting around the courses, trying to place first. It's not just circuit racing either, there's ... a top-down racing game, and a City Trial mode, where you have to power up your star to take part in a series of minigames.

4. Hershey Park -- Rides
   A five-year redevelopment plan was started in 1971 to convert the regional amusement park Hershey Park into a large theme park called Hersheypark, as it is known to this day. A one-price admission plan eliminated the pay-as-you-ride policy. This five-phase project was orchestrated by Randall Duell.
5. Rollercoaster Tycoon -- Rides
   Unfortunately, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 managed to ship with a number of glaring bugs that can make your park feel a bit lifeless, even when there are hundreds of peeps roaming about. For example, popular rides that are hot one moment mystifyingly go suddenly ice cold the next, and even slashing prices to the bone can't seem to resurrect their appeal. Or sometimes you can have a park full of rides, yet few peeps seem interested in actually riding them even though there are no lines--those rides then become money pits that slowly drain your coffers. And in some cases, certain rides refuse to reset properly, meaning that your peeps will get stuck in line and complain. Shutting down and starting up the ride in question doesn't reset the ride, either.
6. Kirby Air Ride
   Kirby Air Ride is a fun game with three different games in it. The games are; Top Ride, Air Ride and City Trial. In Top Ride you go around mini courses and try to finish all the laps first. The controls are a little weird but you get the hang of it after a couple of tries. Air Ride is the old fashioned racing game. Beside the fact you are a Kirby and you ride on different types of stars. You can suck up monsters that float around the track to get powers.
7. Amusement Parks -- Rides
   Amusement parks evolved in Europe from pleasure gardens, which existed for the recreation of the people, while charging a fee. In the United States, expositions were another influence on the amusement park. Amusement parks were the historical precursors to modern theme parks as well as the more traditional midway arcades and rides at county and state fairs (in the United States). Today, amusement parks have largely been replaced by theme parks, and the two terms are often used interchangeably. The oldest amusement park of the world (opened 1583) is Bakken, at Klampenborg, north of Copenhagen, Denmark. Another long-standing park is Prater in Vienna, Austria, which opened in 1766.
8. Kirby Air Ride -- Games
   Kirby Air Ride is the first Kirby game for Nintendo Gamecube, known as a Racing game. This game mixes the most competitive races and the formula of each Kirby game: copy abilities, lots of extras, and of course, lots of fun!
9. Roller Coaster -- Rides
   Tuesday, August 23, 1988 - At Astroland amusement park in Coney Island, New York, a 26-year-old man was killed after falling from the Cyclone roller coaster. Apparently, the man eluded the safety bar and was seen standing up as the train began its descent down the first hill. The man, who was employed as a maintenance worker, was the only passenger at the time, riding in the back seat of the train during his lunch break. He fell 30 feet and landed on a crossbeam of a lower section of track. He was killed instantly.
10. Theme Parks -- Rides
    Theme parks is a more narrowly defined category of an amusement park. Which are permanent facilities that use architecture, signage, landscaping to help convey the feeling that people are in a different place or time. Often a theme park will have various 'lands' (sections) of the park devoted to telling a particular story. Disneyland in California (USA) was the first theme park. Alternatively, an amusement park often has rides with little in terms of theming or additional design elements. For the most part, theme parks are the highest quality form of an amusement park.
