The Amusement Park is a 1975 American psychological horror film directed and edited by George A. Romero from a screenplay by Wally Cook.

It stars Lincoln Maazel, Harry Albacker, Phyllis Casterwiler, Pete Chovan and Sally Erwin.

The film opens with an informational prologue by Lincoln Maazel, who explains how society constantly overlooks and undervalues the elderly.

The man walks about and happily examines his surroundings before coming across a ticket taker who swindles other septuagenarians out of their things with low pay.

As he sits to eat, he beckons some children to come and converse with him, but a younger man accuses him of being a "degenerate" and he leaves in shame.

The man is beckoned into a building by younger people who tell him that he will have fun, but upon entering, it is a claustrophobic room where elders are forced to perform in uncomfortable exercise machines.

The fortune teller shows them that they will be living in a soon-to-be-built apartment building where they will have little support from their personal doctor and neighbors.

The pick-pocket is revealed to run a freak show, which simply consists of elders dressed in casual clothing.
