Added DiffLines:
'''Basic Trope:''' A really bad carnival, fair, or amusement park.
* '''Straight''': Wiki World is a dingy mess, has a lot of broken down rides, and doesn't take safety seriously enough.
* '''Exaggerated''': Wiki World has ride accidents regularly, has a history of food poisoning, and charges for restrooms.
* '''Downplayed''': Wiki World is operationally fine, but doesn't have good atmosphere or attractions.
* '''Justified''':
** Wiki World is struggling to stay in business, so non-essential costs are avoided, letting minor problems spiral.
** Wiki World is profitable, even under poor management, so the higher-ups see no incentive to try harder.
* '''Inverted''': Wiki World has excels in rides, operations, scenery, food, and maintenance.
* '''Subverted''': Wiki World is hyped up as one of the worst amusement parks of all time, but when Alice arrives, she has a good experience.
* '''Double Subverted''': ...However upon repeat visits, it becomes clear her first trip was unusually good.
* '''Parodied''': Wiki World's leading source of revenue is used car sales; everyone dies on the rides.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Wiki World constantly changes ownership. Some owners make the park the best they can. Others are very neglectful.
* '''Averted''': Wiki World is a well-run park and enjoyable to visit.
* '''Enforced''': The executives like the idea of a fight scene through an amusement park, and don't want the audience to feel bad about any collateral damage.
* '''Lampshaded''': "Why can't we ever find a good carnival? You think those would be the ones to stay in business!"
* '''Invoked''': Bob realizes the subsidy pay for failing businesses is better than his most realistic profit margin, so he sabotages the park to undercut ticket sales.
* '''Exploited''': Charlie, looking to expand their amusement park chain, buys Wiki World at a discount with the intent to bring new life into it, rather than buy a more acclaimed park or start from scratch.
* '''Defied''': Despite declining attendance, Bob refuses to cut corners on park maintenance, as the extra cost of upkeep is worth keeping Wiki World's good reputation.
* '''Discussed''': "This carnival is pretty scummy. It'd be one thing if it was trying to provide thrills on a budget, but even the Merry-Go-Round costs an arm and a leg."
* '''Conversed''': "You have to wonder why TV seems to love a cruddy amusement park. It's not like anyone in their right mind would go somewhere the rides are falling apart."
* '''Implied''': Alice, an avid park goer, is shown gleeful on her way into Wiki World, only for it to cut to her storming out.
* '''Deconstructed''': Because Wiki World is in poor shape, no one wants to pay admission, and thus, it goes out of business.
* '''Reconstructed''': Bob, owner of Wiki World, finds a balance where he spends just enough to pass safety requirements and bring in a steady supply of guests, but can still get away with cleanliness issues and poor operations because Wiki World doesn't have any regional competitors.
* '''Played For Laughs''': Alice walks up over a hill, to see Wiki World's signature attraction, The Wonderful Wiki Flyer. As she gets closer, she builds up in anticipation, and when she finally sees it...it's a playground slide.
* '''Played For Drama''': Wiki World, after years of disrepair, is in danger of shutting down, and it's in the hands of a new manager to bring this park back from the edge of extinction.
* '''Played for Horror''': Alice gets locked in the park at night. All the safety concerns and disrepair is for a reason - the park is haunted.
