Tourist Traps
What is a Tourist Trap?
A Tourist Trap is a bunch of silly tourist attractions and gift shops that overcharge for admission or junk. The most common tourist trap is Clifton Hill, Niagara Falls, Ontario. This tourist Trap features rides, attractions and haunted houses with high prices. If you are a fan of Screamers or Nightmares, be sure to bring extra cash to spend for your admissions

Theme Park Rip Offs
If you decide to visit a theme park in the USA like Disney World or Universal, Orlando, expect elevated prices of food, drink and gifts. Do not forget the high admission for a single day passport to your favorite parks.
Why do theme parks have elevated prices.
There is nowhere else to buy these unique gifts and souvenirs. People are willing to spend their money.
If you decide to visit a theme park, save enough cash that you are willing to spend at the park.

2000 - Onwards. The Admission prices have been creeping up every year.
In 2006, Cedar Fair announced that they want to take over the park and the transition took place in 2007. The movie based rides were re-named because Cedar Fair does not own the rights to them. Many people who go will refer the rides by their original names.
