What If America Was One Big Theme Park?

What’s the best part of going to a theme park?

Okay, obviously it’s the rides.

What about the next best part? That’s probably the All-American fairground food. But after that, the cool souvenir maps that show all the fun rides and their location within the park have to be up there, right?

Theme park maps are usually full of colorful sketches of all the park’s amusements and the mysterious “lands” they hold within. Unfolding one and staring at the cartoonish versions of roller coasters and other attractions is an essential part of the theme park experience.

That’s part of the reason the latest online illustration from Expedia is so fun. They’ve taken nearly every natural attraction in the United States and re-imagined it as a “ride” on a theme park map. The rides even get fun names that sound exactly like amusement park attractions.
