[edit] "Kept as a theme park"?

It's been several years since I last went to Dreamland, but the last time I did (in the 1990s), it was an amusement park — it didn't have any theming.

Has it become a theme park at some point since, or (as I suspect) did whoever wrote that phrase make the all-too-common mistake of saying "theme park" when he(?) meant "amusement park"? Theme parks are amusement parks, to be sure, but not vice-versa. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 193.122.47.170 (talk) 20:05, 10 April 2007 (UTC).

In 1981 Dreamland was purchased by the Dutch Bembom Brothers, who renamed the park "Bembom Brothers White Knuckle Theme Park". I don't know what the theme was, but that was the name! -- JediLofty ^{User ¦ Talk} 16:30, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
