So here's an interesting list. We have pages for theme park rides but don't really seem to do theme park ride-specific tropes, but thanks to this list, might it be worth it to start?

A debate could be had over how "in-scope" a theme park ride is for our wiki. They are works of entertainment but do not inherently contain any sort of narrative that might serve as the foundation for a work article... with certain notable exceptions, of course.

That said, there has been an effort recently to catalog pinball games — not the most narrative-heavy medium either.

Theme Parks have already pages and namespace. I do think they can have tropes - many rides are based on specific tropes or settings.

I'd be more willing to challenge the pinball games, really.

I do have memories of pinball games when I was a child. They often involve settings and sometimes non-setting tropes.

The Haunted Mansion has it's own page, though it needs some clean up.
