9. CLASSIFICATION
• Educational theme parks
• Family-owned theme parks
• Regional parks

10. • Educational theme parks
• Some parks use rides and attractions for educational purposes.
Disney was the first to successfully open a large-scale theme park
built around education. Named Epcot, it opened in 1982 as the
second park in the Walt Disney World Resort.
• Family-owned theme parks
• Some theme parks did evolve from more traditional amusement
park enterprises, such as Knott's Berry Farm. In the 1920s, Walter
Knott and his family sold berries from a roadside stand, which
grew to include a restaurant serving fried chicken dinners. Within
a few years, lines outside the restaurant were often several hours
long. To entertain the waiting crowds, Walter Knott built a Ghost
Town in 1940

11. • Regional parks
• The first regional amusement park, as well as the first Six Flags
park, Six Flags over Texas was officially opened in 1961 in
Arlington, Texas. Six Flags Friends supports the mission of
hundreds of local and national organizations each year through
ticket donations and the development of unique programs and
events. The Friends program exists to further the work of
organizations whose mission aligns with our goal of bringing the
thrill of Six Flags to families and children across North America.

12. PAY AS YOU GO
• In amusement parks using the pay-as-you-go scheme, a guest enters
the park at little or no charge. The guest must then purchase rides
individually, either at the attraction's entrance or by purchasing ride
tickets (or a similar exchange method, like a token). The cost of the
attraction is often based on its complexity or popularity.

13. PAY ONE PRICE
• An amusement park using the pay-one-price scheme will charge
guests a single admission fee. The guest is then entitled to use most of
the attractions (usually including flagship roller coasters) in the park
as often as they wish during their visit. A daily admission pass (day
pass) is the most basic fare on sale, also sold are season tickets which
offer holders admission for the entire operating year

or three days of technical meetings.
• These standards have and continue to play a preeminent role in all
aspects important to amusement rides and devices.
