English to Russian translations [PRO]
English term or phrase: theme park
"...Many theme parks crowd the city's outlying areas… "
Please explain what exactly the term means and whether it refers to natural reserve or to amusement park.
Translation into Russian will be much appreciated too.
Thanks

Russian translation:Approximately "park attractsionov"
Explanation:
You're right it's an amusement park, often devoted to one particular theme, that's why it's called Theme Park. Disneyland may be a well-known example of it.

agree  Alex Lilo: i agree with this poster and feel like adding one thing only - "tematicheskiy park" sounds awkward in Russian. A good translation into Russian is given above, "park attractsionov"

tematicheskiy park attraktsionov


Explanation:
Theme park is an amusement park. However, the word theme means there is a certain commonality between all attractions offered in this park. For example, Six Flags theme parks in the United States all carry national themes from 6 countries of the world (France, China, Japan, Germany, Greece, India). I believe that "tematicheskiy park attraktsionov" is the most appropriate translation in your context.

Russian variant: lunapark, or karuseli, or atraktsiony


Explanation:
Theme parks are very common in the US. It's usually an amusement park with such attractions as virtual reality rides, rollercoasters, merry-go-rounds and other. A theme park is based on a certain theme, for example, Disneyland uses famous Walter Disney's cartoon characters to distinguish their park from other parks.
