Introduction
Have you ever thought of how we have come up with some of todays brilliant amusement park features. Well, from the model before them. What builders do is they look at the older models and remodel them. This has been done to many rides, some go from super fun to boring while others go from boring to super fun, yes this is the process of remodeling.

Remodeling
One example of a remodeling at an amusement park could simply be repairing a sidewalk. If a sidewalk has a bundle of cracks in it is possible that someone could hurt themselves. So people will come in and repair the sidewalk with a nice new coat of cement and the new sidewalk is now not a hazard.

Re-furbishing
Another example of a remodeling job could be, fixing a rollercoaster. Ok so the ride you are on is an old wooden rotten piece of junk. It could be remodeled to where it is sturdier and more exciting by simply making it faster. This could attract more people to the ride and the park could make mor money.

Results
Remodeling projects may not always turn out better than they were before. An intense ride may just be too intense that no one may ride it. There would always be those kids that would have to just go all out and ride it. If there is not a lot of money to pay for the ride the profit goes down. They might upgrade to a lower more mellow ride and those few people that liked the intense ride will be bummed out and never come out to an amusement park again
