An animal theme park, also known as a zoological theme park, is a combination of a theme park and a zoological park, mainly for entertainment, amusement, and commercial purposes. Many animal theme parks combine classic theme park elements, such as themed entertainment and amusement rides, with classic zoo elements such as live animals confined within enclosures for display. Many times, live animals are utilized and featured as part of amusement rides and attractions found at animal theme parks. A kind of animal theme park is Disney's Animal Kingdom in Orlando, Florida () or Busch Gardens Tampa Bay in Tampa, Florida (). These commercial parks are similar to open-range zoos and safari parks according to size, but different in intention and appearance, containing more entertainment and amusement elements (stage shows, amusement rides, etc.). The term "animal theme park" can also be used to describe certain marine mammal parks, oceanariums, and more elaborate dolphinariums, such as SeaWorld, which offers amusement rides and additional entertainment attractions, and are also where marine animals such as whales are kept, contained, put on display, and are sometimes trained to perform in shows. In 2010 the practice of keeping animals as trained show performers in theme parks was heavily criticized when a trainer was killed by an Orca Whale at SeaWorld Orlando in Florida.〔http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=124205447〕 ==List of Animal Theme Parks== Zoological Theme Parks *Busch Gardens Tampa Bay in Tampa Bay, Florida *Busch Gardens Williamsburg in Williamsburg, Virginia *Disney's Animal Kingdom in Lake Buena Vista, Florida *Flamingo Land in North Yorkshire, England *Chessington World Of Adventures in Surrey, England *Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California *Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey Marine Theme Parks (Marine Mammal Parks & Oceanariums) *MarineLand in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada *Ocean Park Hong Kong in Hong Kong,China *Sea World in Gold Coast, Australia *SeaWorld San Antonio in San Antonio, Texas *SeaWorld San Diego in San Diego, California *SeaWorld Orlando in Orlando, Florida Zoos with Amusement Attractions *Bronx Zoo in New York City, New York - Features a Monorail attraction, Carousel, & Motion Simulator experience *San Diego Zoo in San Diego, California - Features a "Sky Safari" attraction, Motion Simulator experience, and Double Decker Bus Tour *San Diego Zoo Safari Park in Escondido, California - Features a Safari Attraction, Hot Air Balloon Experience, Carousel, And Zip Line Adventure. *Metro Richmond Zoo in Chesterfield County, Virginia - Features a Safari Sky Ride, Jungle Carousel, Safari Train, Kids' Playground Area, and Zip Line 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Animal theme park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
