<p data-start="286" data-end="646">Amusement and theme parks date back to 1583, with the Guinness book of records noting Bakken in Denmark as being the first one in the world.  Interestingly this is still in operation today and continues to attract thousands of visitors all year round. Originally, Amusement parks were common in early Europe and were created as places of pleasure. Many had fairs, entertainment, and picnic areas situated in pristine garden surrounds. The famous Coney Island parks in New York were one of the first to charge for admission and were known for their zany entertainment and daring rides.</p>
<p data-start="286" data-end="646">The great Walt Disney designed and built Disneyland which opened as a Theme park in Anaheim California in 1955. As a result, the world now had amusement parks known for rides, attractions, entertainment, and theme parks.</p>
<p data-start="286" data-end="646">Moreover, theme parks are similar to amusement parks but based around themes. For instance, most popular theme parks are based around fairies and storybook characters.</p>
<p data-start="286" data-end="646">Following the popularity of Disneyland, these fun parks have become big businesses around the world. The excitement and thrill one gets from amusement park rides meant more and more parks developed more rides. Extreme rollercoasters and faster rides were developed as a way of attracting more visitors to the parks.</p>
<p data-start="286" data-end="646">The adrenaline junkies couldn’t get enough of the best and most challenging of rides and amusements in the ’60s. Entrepreneurs were keen to invest in carnivals, amusement parks and it was only a matter of time before an extreme water park was developed.</p>

<h5><span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong>WATER PARKS</strong></span></h5>
Consequently, in the mid-1960s, American entrepreneur George Millay developed and opened one of the first water known as Sea World.  Due to the overriding success of Sea World, Millay went on to open one of the first official Water parks situated in Orlando, Florida USA in 1977.
<p data-start="286" data-end="646">Water Parks fast became great attractions around the world with all their various water slides and rides. In today’s world Amusement, Theme and water parks are found in most parts of the Globe. They are more often designed for daredevils and thrill-seekers wanting to push the boundaries.</p>
<p data-start="286" data-end="646">Thrill-seekers cannot wait to boast that they rode, the biggest Rollercoaster, water slide, or how they fired from a slingshot.
