A Risk Business Special Report on the world's most extravagant fairgrounds.
In which Michael Rodd sets out in search of the ultimate fairground ride. In two of America's sunshine states, California and Florida, he finds himself taking part in a high-wire act, in a Wild West shoot-out, and in the breath-taking twists and turns of a 400-foot aquatic Cresta run. Participation, it seems, is the name of the Theme Park game.
Every year the impresarios introduce new ways of luring customers through the turnstiles of their particular brand of money-spinning fantasy. It's an ' arms race ' in which the principal weapons are million-dollar roller coasters, breath-taking machines designed to carry the customer cork-screwing and gyrating in apparent defiance of the laws of gravity.
But the bills can escalate as rapidly as the thrills, and Parks can plunge from giddying heights to sickening depths almost as rapidly as their pleasure-seeking passengers. It's an industry where holidays are the most frantic time of the year, and where pleasure turns out to carry a very slender profit margin.

England v Wales ronight's match in the Home International Championship from Wembley Stadium
Commentator JOHN MOTSON
Although England won comfortably by 3-1 last year in Cardiff on their way to the Championship, the Welsh will remember the Wembley upsets they have caused in recent years: a 1-1 draw in the World Cup in 1973, a 2-2 draw in 1975, and - most notably - victory two years ago, 1-0.
KEVIN KEEGAN assesses tonight's opposing managers:
Ron Greenwood
' It's a joy to play for Ron Green wood. He allows a player to bring his own ideas into the game,'
Mike Smith
'Mike Smith is an outstanding coach. He's shaped Wales, who haven't a lot of players to choose from, into a very effective force.'
