Welcome to WikiProject Amusement Parks! Since the project was started in 2006, we have been focused on improving, collaborating on, and maintaining topics relating to the amusement industry. Our dedicated editors work on the project's 7,370 articles on various topics, including roller coasters, amusement parks, ride manufacturers, and more. Whether you're a member of the project or not, we would love your help to improve amusement park-related articles on Wikipedia!

Mission
[edit]We work on updating, maintaining, expanding, and improving all pages within the project's scope. Our aim is to thoroughly document notable topics relating to the amusement industry.
Put simply, the goal of the project is to make every article under the project as good as it can be. This includes adding reputable sources, expanding articles by adding content, working to improve each article's quality class, and more. In addition, amusement parks are always changing, and we work to keep our articles up to date. Every year, new rides open and close, parks undergo changes, and new projects are announced. Documenting such changes in an encyclopedic manner is a large part of this project's mission.
Furthermore, notable attractions, parks, people may not yet be covered on Wikipedia. As long as such a page would meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines, as well as those outlined by this project, it would be appreciated if such an article was created in order to expand the project's coverage.
To do list
[edit]While some entries are still relevant, the to do list is in need of updates.
Feel free to join the following discussions at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Amusement Parks:
To assess amusement park-related articles, tag their talk pages with the following project template message:
Milestone! All current articles have been assessed!
This is THE way to write great articles on a park. Go to the park, ride the rides, take great pictures of them, talk to the operators, and whatever else you can think—all to improve each park's article. Anyone can (and is encouraged to) create and improve articles on parks they've never visited, but it takes someone who visits a park regularly, and, most importantly, is enthusiastic about it, to turn a stub into a good theme park article!
You can invite others to participate in the project by putting WikiProject Amusement Parks invitation!
If you start a new article (or promote one to Good Article status), and the article contains an interesting or unusual fact, suggest it for the Did you know? box on the Main Wikipedia page. DYK has a 7-day time limit from the creation of the article.
These articles need coordinates. They can be taken from RCDB.
There is also a list of 500 articles here without infoboxes. The appropriate infobox template needs to be added. |
