…THE OLDEST OPERATING AMUSEMENT PARK IN THE WORLD IS OVER 400 YEARS OLD? Dyrehavsbakken opened in 1583 and is located in Kampenborg, Denmark.

…CEDAR POINT, A PARK IN OHIO, USA, COLLECTS THE MONEY THAT FALLS OUT OF PEOPLE’S POCKETS ON ROLLER COASTERS TO DONATE TO CHARITY? On average, the amount collected every year is two thousand dollars (about 10,400 reais).

…SOME AMUSEMENT PARKS HAVE THEIR OWN CURRENCY? The first to do this was Legoland, in Florida, in the United States. Money there can even be bought at some exchange offices (places that exchange currencies from different countries).

…DISNEY ESTIMATES THAT AROUND 210 SUNGLASSES ARE LOST EVERY DAY AT ITS PARKS?

…CINDERELLA’S CASTLE IN DISNEY’S MAGIC KINGDOM IN ORLANDO, USA, IS SMALLER THAN IT LOOKS? Engineers used smaller bricks and windows on the highest floors and made the building shorter than it appears. That is because all buildings in the area over 60 meters must have a red light on top so planes can see them (this would take away the magical feeling). For this reason, the castle is 58 meters high.
