'parks' : 'rides'} to ThrillWiki {/* Date Precision */} Date Precision Options

Choose how precise your date information is. This helps maintain accuracy when exact dates aren't known.

Exact Day

Use when you know the specific date (e.g., June 15, 2010)

Example: Opening day announcement

Month & Year

Use when you only know the month (e.g., June 2010)

Example: "Opened in summer 2010"

Year Only

Use when you only know the year (e.g., 2010)

Example: Historical records show "1985"

Decade

Use for events in a general decade (e.g., 1980s)

Example: "Built in the early 1970s"

Century

Use for very old dates spanning a century

Example: "19th century fairground"

Approximate

Use when the date is uncertain or estimated

Example: "circa 2005"
{type === 'park' && ( <> {/* Park Types */} Park Types Explained

Theme Park

Has distinct themed areas with immersive experiences and storytelling

Examples: Disneyland, Universal Studios

Amusement Park

Focuses on rides and attractions without heavy theming

Examples: Cedar Point, Six Flags

Water Park

Water-based attractions like slides, wave pools, lazy rivers

Examples: Schlitterbahn, Aquatica

Family Entertainment Center

Indoor facilities with arcade games, mini golf, go-karts

Examples: Chuck E. Cheese, Dave & Buster's
{/* Operator vs Owner */} Operator vs. Property Owner

Operator

The company that runs day-to-day operations, manages staff, and operates the park

Example: Six Flags operates many parks

Property Owner

The entity that owns the land and physical property

Example: Real estate investment company

💡 Pro Tip

Often the operator and owner are the same company (check the "Operator is also the property owner" box). But sometimes they're different - for example, a park might lease land from a property owner.

)} {type === 'ride' && ( <> {/* Ride Categories */} Ride Categories

Roller Coaster

Any type of coaster with a track and gravity-based movement

Includes: Steel, Wood, Inverted, Flying

Flat Ride

Spinning, swinging, or rotating rides at ground level

Examples: Tilt-A-Whirl, Scrambler, Top Spin

Water Ride

Rides involving water, splashing, or getting wet

Examples: Log Flume, River Rapids, Shoot-the-Chute

Dark Ride

Indoor rides with controlled lighting and theming

Examples: Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean
{/* Manufacturer vs Designer */} Manufacturer vs. Designer

Manufacturer

The company that physically built and engineered the ride

Examples: Intamin, B&M, Vekoma, RMC

Designer (Optional)

The design firm or consultant that created the ride concept and layout

Examples: Werner Stengel, Ride Centerline

💡 Pro Tip

Most rides only need a manufacturer. Add a designer only if they're notably different (e.g., Werner Stengel designed layouts for many B&M coasters).

{/* Technical Specs */} Technical Specifications

Add custom specifications beyond the standard fields. Use for unique features.

Common Spec Examples

  • • Track Material: "Steel" or "Wood"
  • • Propulsion Method: "LSM Launch", "Chain Lift"
  • • Train Type: "Sit-down", "Inverted", "Flying"
  • • Restraint System: "Lap bar", "Over-shoulder"
  • • Number of Trains: "3"
  • • Riders per Train: "28"

⚠️ Important: Metric Units Only

All measurements must use metric units (km/h, m, cm, kg). The system will convert them to your preferred units for display. Examples: "km/h" not "mph", "m" not "ft"

)} {/* Units and Measurements */} Units and Measurements

ThrillWiki stores all measurements in metric units but displays them in your preferred system.

How It Works

  1. Enter values in YOUR preferred units (metric or imperial)
  2. System automatically converts to metric for storage
  3. Data displays in each user's preferred unit system

Speed

Enter in km/h or mph (auto-converts)

Example: 120 km/h = 74.6 mph

Height / Length

Enter in meters or feet (auto-converts)

Example: 50m = 164ft

Height Requirement

Enter in cm or inches (auto-converts)

Example: 120cm = 47in
