A
We all know that theme parks are places to have fun and amuse ourselves，but among so many exciting rides there are also some dangers.Make sure you know what the safety standards are for all the attractions at the park.If you do that，you will be safe and have fun.
Drink water.Believe it or not，dehydration—when your body doesn't have enough water—is the commonest cause of injuries at theme parks.Drinking water while you are at the park is not enough.You must make sure that you drink enough water before you visit it.
Use your “common sense”. There are lots of people around，so make sure you know where your friends or family are.Also，if you are walking and want to stop，make sure nobody is walking behind you.First step aside，then look behind and if you aren't in anybody's way，then stop.It might sound upset，but crashes between people can cause accidents.
Follow the instructions. The majority of theme parks have instructions for each ride.Some rides only allow people of a certain height.So make sure you are not too tall or too short before boarding any ride.Also，people with certain diseases or conditions are advised not to go on some rides.Do remember: If you are told not to go on a ride，then DON'T.
Do not ride until a bad stomach or if you've just eaten. Rides can make you ill because of their violent changes of direction and your lunch may end up on someone else's head；surely not a very pleasant experience.
Have fun，relax and be a little brave! Some rides might look scary but theme parks are very safe places.

Modern theme parks
The history of modern theme parks started with the pleasure gardens of Europe，which were built around important cities in the 1550s.The main attractions were flowers，fountains，dancing，fireworks，games，stage
shows and some simple amusement rides.These pleasure gardens were early amusement parks，from which theme parks developed.
In the late 1880s，with the decline(衰退) of pleasure gardens in Europe，amusement parks spread to North America，mostly to solve the money problem of the railway companies.People used railway services a lot during the week to go to work，but much less on weekends and other holidays.Therefore，amusement parks were built at the end of railway lines so that people would use the railways every day.
In 1894，Paul Boyton，an Irish American，built the world's first modern amusement park called Paul Boyton's Water Chutes in Chicago，USA.Since then，amusement parks have grown in number and size.
Today，there are still many amusement parks around the world.For example，Bakken Amusement Park in Denmark，which was opened in the 1580s，is the oldest amusement park in the world.
Modern theme parks grew out of amusement parks.Different from amusement parks，theme parks place more importance on showing themes or ideas in some related(相关的) areas.These theme areas recreate a special time and place for visitors to enjoy themselves.Common themes are culture，fantasy，history and religion.
The most important theme park began with a mouse and a man，Walter Elias Disney，better known as Walt Disney.
