Amusement Park Quotes

“I am drawn to Tom Sawyer Island because a tribute to Mark Twain would not be out of place in a theme park of my own design. Should Vowell World ever get enough investors, I'm going to stick my Tom Sawyer Island in Love and Death in the American Novel Land right between the Jay Gatsby Swimming Pool and Tom Joad's Dust Bowl Lanes, a Depression-themed bowling alley renting artfully worn-out shoes.”
― Sarah Vowell, Take the Cannoli

“The crowd trails us through the park as we play games at the Penny Arcade and ride Pirates of the Caribbean. Eriku insists on sampling all the foods available.

We have curry rice and then a milk tea drink with berries on the bottom and whipped cream and nuts at the top for lunch.”
― Emiko Jean, Tokyo Dreaming

“The theme park industry doesn’t just move people physically. It moves them emotionally. That’s the real innovation.”
