View every park in the world!

During the winter of 2008 - 2009, I spent about three months cataloging virtually every single amusement park on the planet with something larger than a kiddie coaster, primarily for my own personal trip planning purposes. I couldn't get anything on India or North Korea because whenever I went over those countries, Google Earth kept quitting on me and I lost all the places that I saved. The only programs I used were Google Earth, rcdb, Google Maps and Bing Maps.



Information to help you decipher my maps:
-Green thumbtacks are parks
-Yellow thumbtacks are approximate locations of parks (I couldn't find them on Google Earth, but it's probably close by)
-White pushpins are Airports
-Blue thumbtacks are kiddie parks that may or may not be interesting
-Orange thumbtacks are HQ's of some coaster and ride companies



And, here are the pics:

Australia and New Zealand:

Taiwan:







Uruguay, Chile, and Brazil






USA and Canada:

Cool idea! I'm surprised how few parks there are in the US, to be honest; I thought there were many more than that! Cool to see that Europe's friggin' LOADED...I had no idea.

Agree with boneplaya, thats really a great Idea!

at Distric 9 Alien, but dude, you have way too much time on your hands.

B&M is in Monthey,Switzerland,not in France...

um thats ridiculous... but thanks, cool

^^It is in Switzerland. The labels move around a bit from where the actual pushpins are. And Switzerland is right next to France (and really tiny) yaknow.

^^^^We may not have a lot of parks, but we still have approximately 26% of all roller coasters in the world. Most parks only have 1 - 4 roller coasters. Take a look at how many parks in America that have more than 6 roller coasters.

Lol I should visit Intamin I live maybe 150 Kilometers away from there...

You've had like too many time on your hands. You could have simply used: http://coaster-count.com/maps.xhtml
So far I know they do their best to keep everything 100% up to date. If something is not up to date. Just send them a mail with what has to be changed [:)]

Don't forget how much more densely populated Europe is than the US, making all different types of ammenities much less sparse also.

you forgot a white push-pin on Belgium and the Netherlands[;)]
I live in the central of madness in Europa [:p]
(4 parks in less than 1h driving)

But its [worship]

Are you going to save the kml file and give it to us all?

^Huh?
