General / Off-Topic An Amusement Park Survey

[The Hazard]

So I have to do this project and part of it involves surveying people.

I want to know just how important each facility/service is to an amusement park IRL in your opinion. Copy the code and rate each one 1 - 5, 1 being unimportant and 5 being extremely important. Also include whether you're a teenager or an adult in the first line. Ask any questions on the thread, just no flaming, spamming, or anything that violates the thread rules. At the end, put anything else you know is important to have in a theme park.

What else should a park have? I love theme parks which creates themes around their rides, or an area where an assortment of rides are. A good example being Nemesis at Alton Towers - really makes the ride more entertaining for me. I also like originality in rides - I'd much prefer to go on a ride which offers an entirely new experience and has never been done before.

What else should a park have? Somewhere to buy a beer. No joking, it can be a nightmare sometimes, especially on a hot day (this does not apply to the UK, obviously).
