Theme Parks Timeline Games

Three decks make up this page. The Disney and Universal decks are famous attractions placed by the year each one opened, with the park named on every card so you know whether you are in Anaheim, Orlando, Osaka or beyond. The roller coaster deck works differently: it orders record-breaking coasters by top speed, so the hidden value is how fast each ride goes rather than when it was built. As always, each new card goes into a gap on the line and a miss costs a life.

Park regulars should start with the resort they know best. The ride decks get tricky where the same attraction opened at more than one park, and where a classic you grew up with turns out to be a recent replacement. In the coaster deck, size can mislead: the tallest rides are not always the fastest, and a few launches surprise everyone.
