By 'amusement park' I am referring to a location where you and some friends can walk around, maybe play a game of bumper cars, share a scarey ride, or just hang out.
I was surprised how many amusement parks there were in Second Life, but I was a bit disappointed that many of them were just a virtual representation of something you might see in real life.
Here is a sample of amusement parks I found on this week's travels. I left out places that focused on ghosts or gore, where everyone was naked when I arrived, or that had too many clowns.

| Poster - MadPea Amusement Park |
This park has been around since 2006. It has quite a few rides and attractions that have withstood the test of time.
MadPea Base - MadWorld Amusement Park
This park is under renovation, but there is still a lot to see and do here. This park is unusual in that there is a bright new shiny pastel part, and an older and darker part. MadPea specializes in interactive games, boxed puzzles, escape rooms, and large scale interactive experiences like The Ghost Town.

You don't have to be a Hello Kitty fan to enjoy this park. Activities include water slides and a romantic banana boat ride.

You land in a cave, with a well in front of you. To get to the amusement rides proper, you have to jump in the well, but once you get there you will find not only the typical amusement rides, but spots set up throughout the park where you can sit with friends and play board games.
If you choose to explore the cave, one direction will take you through a maze of twisting tunnels, the other to what appears to be the interior of an elegant residence.

The Masters Estate - Majesterium
Get on the tram to go to the Park. This is a large amusement park which has many different areas. I enjoyed looking at the large zombie and the "Welcome to Wonderland" ride.

There are traditional rides, but there is also a haunted house where you can hunt for clues to solve a mystery story.

Cinderella's Castle - A Disney Tribute Park

This one seems true to the Disneyland I knew as a child. Includes the Magical Tiki Room and Small World rides.
WEDCOT Center in Real Dreams
Tried but True:
Rizal Games and Funfair in Rizal
Paddle boats, arcade games, and lots of freebies. You can pick up a rideable bike and helmet, or try flying a kite.

Hairy Hippo Fun Land in Oak Bluffs
If you try the Hippo's Food Challenge (sign by gate) I suggest landmarking one of the restrooms.

Last but not least
Simple's Zoo of All Things
This place deserves an entry on its own, but until I get around to it I'm including it here because it does have a hang glider. It is also an art museum, a Zoo, and a repository of Second Life history. It is also a popular place to pick up freebies.
