    In Poland, France, and the Netherlands, Amusement Parks are often referred to as "Lunaparks"

    Also in Turkey and Italy, apparently.

    Apparently these things exist all over.  i wonder how i went so long without ever having heard of them.

    Well how often do non-Disney Non-Universal amusement parks get talked about?

    There is/was an amusement park in Cincinnati called "Coney Island". Its original name was "Ohio Grove: The Coney Island of the West", so yes, it was essentially named as cash-in on the real Coney Island.

    In the late '60s/early '70s Taft Broadcasting bought the park and moved all its best rides to Kings Mills...creating a new amusement park, whose name I'm sure you can guess. :P

    i figured the reason i hear about Disneyland Paris fairly often is because it's relatively close

    Alton Towers is fairly popular here, the recent accident notwithstanding
