Introduction
Amusement parks are places where people go to have fun, enjoy exciting rides, and experience different attractions. A well-designed amusement park has rides, food stands, walkways and seating areas to make the park both entertaining and easy to navigate. We will use Icograms Designer to create our own amusement park map by placing and arranging different objects.
