* In Disney's ''Pinocchio'', boys who are sent to Pinocchio Pleasure Island can have as much fun as they want, but they're also turned into donkeys.
* The extras DVD for TheIncredibles included a ShowWithinAShow cartoon called "Mr. Incredible and Friends" where Mr. Incredible, Frozone, and Mr. Skipperdoo go to one of these to find and fight the villain Lady Lightbug.

** At least Crichton's "Futureworld" didn't get remade with dinosaurs.
* The climax of the film noir ''The Lady from Shanghai'' takes place in one of these, famously featuring a [[HallOfMirrors Funhouse Mirror]] OfDoom.

* The antagonists in 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2' live in a kind of a run down theme park.

** Predating this is Clownman's level from [[MegaMan Mega Man 8]]. Killer robot and trains that try to run you over on sight.

* ''Ape Escape'' (the first one of the Playstation) had a deadly Amusement Park of Doom to traverse through in the second-to-last level. Everything from [[EvilClown an evil killer clown]], a deadly remote-controlled car and a deadly roller coaster ride.

* The amusement park in {{Professor Layton}} and the Curious Village qualifies.

* The [[{{Sequel}} third installment]] of the ''FridayThe13th'' book series "Tales from Camp Crystal Lake" by [[MrSmith Eric Morse]], called [[http://www.amazon.com/Carnival-Friday-13th-Camp-Crystal/dp/042515825X/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1287999391&sr=8-4 The Carnival]], features a group of summer school students who decide to go to the carnival. They see weird things, fights break out, malfunctions increase and the rides go haywire, the electric fence surrounding the area gets supercharged, the only entrance or exit jammed shut, things explode for little to no reason, everything starts coming to life, especially the dummies in the SerialKiller "house of horrors freakshow" and there's a pervert in a parasitic hockey mask killing everyone left and right with a sledge hammer.

[[SouvenirLand This carnival]] is owned by a [[CorruptCorporateExecutive company]] who has decided that [[NeverRecycleABuilding the abandoned campgrounds would be a good place to pitch their tents]]. The [[MainCharacters main character]] is a [[BlitheSpirit rebellious girl]] named [[MaxTrope Maxi]], whose [[BadAss badassness]] becomes [[TheLibby bitchiness]] due to the weird yellow [[FogOfDoom fog]] that makes people [[HatePlague angry]]. She keeps [[WithFriendsLikeThese alienating]] her [[WeUsedToBeFriends friends]] one by one, who then [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere leave]] and [[StuffedIntoTheFridge are never seen again]]. Meanwhile, [[HarbingerOfImpendingDoom people see weird things]], [[TheMentallyDisturbed fights break out]], [[HauntedTechnology malfunctions increase]], [[HomicideMachines the rides go haywire]], the electric fence [[ClosedCircle surrounding the area]] gets [[PhlebotinumOverload supercharged]], [[ShockAndAwe killing]] anyone who touches it, the only entrance or [[NoExit exit]] is a metal gate that gets jammed shut and is also supercharged, [[StuffBlowingUp things are exploding]] for little to no reason, everything starts [[DemonicPossession coming to life]], especially the [[MurderousMannequin dummies]] in the SerialKiller [[HauntedHouse "house of horrors freakshow"]] and there's a [[WhipItGood pervert]] in a [[BecomingTheMask parasitic]] [[WhiteMaskOfDoom hockey mask]] killing everyone left and right with a [[DropTheHammer sledge hammer]] and he's intent on [[AloneWithThePsycho being alone with Maxi]].

** ''SonicColors'' has Eggman build another from ''entire planets'' and alien technology. Not quite the standard look for this trope, what with the bright colors and the LevelAte, but still not a place to take the kiddies thanks to killer robots and the alien enslavement.

* Two episodes of ''ScienceNinjaTeamGatchaman'' are set in closed amusement parks that are actually fronts for the Galactor organization. (Both were also adapted for ''BattleofthePlanets''.)

* In James Farr's ''Xombie'', Zoey and Dirge's car breaks down right infront of one of these.

* Boys who are sent to [[Pinocchio Pleasure Island]] can have as much fun as they want, but they're also turned into donkeys.

* In BoboboboBobobo, A-Block Amusement Park is run by Jellly Jiggler and the Hair Hunters who are after the title character; same goes for Halekulani's Hallelujah Land who destroys attractions if they aren't making profits especially with people inside. Then Neo Hair Hunt Land MAX which is the battlefield for the Bo-bobo gang against the former Hair Hunt generals of the previous era.

* ''SCPFoundation'' features the [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-823 SCP-823]], aptly named "Carnival of Horrors".
