Amusement park is a park that features various attractions, such as rides and games, as well as other events for entertainment purposes. A theme park is a type of amusement park that bases its structures and attractions around a central theme, often featuring multiple areas with different themes.
One thing that makes amusement parks so amazing is the energy floating around – it is, for lack of a better word, contagious. As soon as you walk through the entrance, even if this isn't your type of leisure activity, you can't help but smile and let the fun sweep you up for the ride. Studies have also shown that people with lower levels of dopamine, yet another feel-good hormone set off by pleasurable activities, venture away from thrill-seeking activities like roller coaster rides. In addition, cortisol, the stress-inducing hormone, is also triggered by roller coasters.
