Yes, there is a difference between a theme park and an amusement park.
Merriam-Webster On-line defines the two thusly:
Amusement park: "a commercially operated park having various devices for entertainment (as a merry-go-round and roller coaster) and usually booths for the sale of food and drink"
Theme park: "an amusement park in which the structures and settings are based on a central theme"
Think Universal Studios' "Ride the Movies".
Think Dollywood's Great Smoky Mountains & Dolly Parton.
Think Disney's, well, all things Disney.
A good theme park will fulfill 5 basic needs:
Rides, Attractions, Live Entertainment, Dining, and Shopping
A great theme park will make each of those an exceptional, memorable experience.
