Statistical data and a visitor questionnair at a particular amusement park were analyzed on following 5 aspects. 1. A positive correlation was found between the number of amusement facilities used per visitor and the total number of facilities in the park. 2. Concerning "thrill type" facilities, there was a positive correlation between the rate of use and the total number of people in the park, while there was a strong negative correlation between "marchen type" facilities and park occupancy. 3. When very few attractive facilities were available, a given facility's distance from a park gate had a strong influence on visitors' first choice. 4. A negative correlation was found between the total distance from the park gates and the rate of a given facility being used. 5. It was found that joint use was most likely when the facilities were close to each other. This was found to be especially true for "child type" facilities. People tend to use "thrill type" facilities consecutively regardless of their relative locations.
