->'''Tails:''' Speed Highway was ''literally'' built with taxpayer dollars!\\
'''Sonic:''' Yeah, and they used the money to build loop-de-loops on the road. Which, granted, cool as hell for me… but ''man'', morning commutes must be hell for everyone else!

A type of landscape featuring natural formations that are the functional equivalents of theme park rides: Waterfalls, mountain torrents, glaciers or icebergs double as water slides, plot-sensitive erosion has created rock or snow formations that act as rollercoaster tracks or bobsled runs, complete with [[RampJump Ramp Jumps]], giant water lilies serve as trampolines or at least provide a fun and bouncy way to cross a stretch of water, hanging vines can be used as ropeways, swings, for bungee-jumping or Tarzan-style transportation and so on...

Alternatively, the setting can be industrial or urban, as long as the environment invites misuse as a carnival ride. This can be both BenevolentArchitecture or MalevolentArchitecture, depending on your viewpoint and if you [[WasntThatFun liked]] [[ImNotDoingThatAgain the "ride"]] or intended to take it in the first place.

* Perhaps most [[JustForFun/{{Egregious}} Egregiously]], in ''WesternAnimation/IceAgeTheMeltdown'' there's actually a freestanding ice formation shaped like (and used as) a water slide complete with water mysteriously flowing from its highest point.
* In Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{Tarzan}}'' the winding, moss-covered branches become a sort of jungle skate park for the Ape Man to do some sick moves. (The filmmakers called it "tree-surfing")

[[folder: Films - Live-Action]]
%%* Neverland in ''Film/{{Hook}}''.
* The RollercoasterMine in ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom'', most obviously.

[[folder:VideoGames]]
* ''VideoGame/EverybodyEditsFlash'': The cave is filled with tunnels that push the player's character along in every direction, helped by a large amount of GravityScrew.
* ''VideoGame/RigsOfRods'': Typical for many maps, especially those of the proving grounds/test area kind. But then again, they're purpose-built.
* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'':
** Almost any level from the Platform/SegaGenesis era titles; particularly the [[GreenHillZone Green]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zMHaHPXqqg Hill Zone]] with its rolling hills, spirals, and loops.
** On any console, really. ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'' even has a ''highway'' with loops and jumps.
** Speed Highway from ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'', which does the same. It makes one wonder how normal, everyday people in the Sonic Universe go about their day-to-day lives, especially when they're trying to get to work...
** ''VideoGame/SonicColors'' takes this to literal extremes with giant amusement park levels, such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMLrpnjwyTU Planet Wisp,]] which is one in progress.

[[folder:WesternAnimation]]
* Several [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Wile E. Coyote]] cartoons feature this type of landscape, most notably when the gag involves a falling boulder or rocket skates.
* The chute system in the ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' city of Omashu counts, since it's sorta like a giant slide and rollercoaster all in one. It was even shown that Aang and Bumi used to play on them when they were kids.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Duckman}}'': The underground cavern in "The Road to Dendron" features a water passage which Duckman, Cornfed, and Ajax use to escape, though in a subversion, the Fakir laments: "Why did I put in that water slide?! After them!"
* ''WesternAnimation/PennZeroPartTimeHero'': The architecture of the carnival-themed Chuckle City includes a lot of roller-coaster ramps and trapezes that people can use for {{Ramprovisation}}.
