Template:Building Lakeside Amusement Park is an amusement park in Silent Hill. Located on West Sandford Street in the Resort Area in Paleville, it's a popular tourist attraction with key activities including a rollercoaster, a carousel, a ferris wheel, and a few other carnival rides and sideshows.
Robbie the Rabbit is one of Lakeside Amusement Park's four mascots. The others are Kathy the Kitty, Huey the Horse and Dawn the Duck. However, Robbie is displayed the most prominently throughout the games.
The Lakeside Amusement Park is visited in the games Silent Hill, Silent Hill: Play Novel, Silent Hill 3, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories and Silent Hill: The Arcade. As well, it is featured in the film Silent Hill: Revelation. Though not visited in the game, Silent Hill: Homecoming features a postcard from the park. Excluding the Normal ending of Silent Hill 3 and Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, Lakeside Amusement Park is always seen in the Otherworld.
Attractions
Lakeside Amusement Park features many attractions.
Borley Haunted Mansion
A haunted mansion, advising pregnant and weak-hearted people to refrain from entering; children under the age of eight must be accompanied by an adult. In the first room, an announcer will greet the player with an ominous voice. In the third room of the mansion, Heather Mason is unable to continue until she has met "Danny". The next room has a spiked ceiling, and if the game is on Hard action mode, the player must crouch Heather or else she will be killed. The last two hallways feature a red mist that follows Heather as she runs away from it. If this mist touches Heather, she will die instantly.
Happy Carousel
Heather viewing the carousel.
A carousel featuring many "living", skinned, deteriorating horses, possibly all replicas of the mascot Huey the Horse. Heather must kill these horses by repeatedly attacking them. Some of the horses breathe toxic fumes from their mouths, so it is important not to stand in front of them. Harry Mason also fights (or saves, depending on player action) Puppet Cybil Bennett here and Heather fights the Memory of Alessa here as well. During the fight with the Memory of Alessa, a female figure can be seen burning in the center of the carousel. This may signify the burning Alessa Gillespie went through. Heather states that the carousel is rather "unhappy".
Mountain Coaster
An ordinary roller coaster. Its control panel turns on as Heather is walking along its tracks, however, this is just a dream and Heather uses her new knowledge to turn off this roller coaster so that she isn't struck down by an oncoming ride.[1]
Swing Rocket
A carousel-type spaceship ride. In order for her to gain access to the east side of the park, Heather connects one end of a rusty chain to the center column of the ride and the other to a nearby gate. After turning on the ride, the chain wraps around the center column as it turns until the previously locked gate is pulled open. After this, the ride is no longer operational.
Fortune House
Fortune House.
A fortune teller house that features a fortune teller and a crystal ball. Heather finds Douglas Cartland's notebook and a doll head carved out of an apple here.
Teacup ride
A teacup ride that spins around. From above, its three teacups resemble the Halo of the Sun. Douglas Cartland eventually rests on a bench next to this ride in the ending of Silent Hill 3.[2]
Amphitheater
An outdoor stage with many bleachers around it. Cinderella's missing red shoe is located in the center of it. Situated around the theater, one will also discover pictures of each of the four Lakeside Amusement Park mascots. [3]
Marchen Travel
A train car ride where the player can see Snow White, Cinderella and a fierce dragon. Heather doesn't actually ride the train car in-game, but must pass the area by completing a puzzle involving the Cinderella and Snow White dolls.[4]

The Ride of Your Life
A ride which is supposed to be the "ride of your life". Depending on the ending the player is heading towards, it can be a pendulum ride called "Cupid's Bow", a teacup-style barrel ride called "Pirate Pete's Barrels of Grog", a carousel ride called "Wild Horses" for which the sign depicts a cowgirl wearing short shorts and a top that reveals much of her cleavage, or "Hot Rod Racers."

Crystal's Dreaming
A concession stand that, judging by the large cup of ice cream on top of the establishment, sells frozen yogurt.

A concession stand that, apparently, sells spicy hot dogs.
Cinderella Candy
A shop where you can buy treats.
Tunnel of Love
Tunnel of Love.
A ride taken by swan boats through dark passages, in pairs. It's meant to provide a relaxing environment to encouraging romance between couples. Inside the Tunnel of Love, an ice statue of Harry Mason and his wife Dahlia can be seen aboard one of the swan boats. Harry will also see a silhouette of what appears to be the 7-year-old Cheryl roaming in the tunnel. Harry must pass through the tunnel in order to reach the jetty behind the amusement park.
Roller Coaster
A roller coaster that is currently closed off from the public.
Myths and Legends
Myths and Legends.
An attraction that appears as a medieval castle with dungeons and dragons. Outside is the cutout of a knight and dragon seen frequently throughout the game.

The Great Wheel
A Ferris wheel which has a view of the entire lake.
Silent Hill: Revelation
The Amusement Park entrance.
Heather Mason dreams of being in the amusement park in the film's beginning, but later visits it in reality. When Heather returns to Silent Hill, Vincent Cooper tells her that her father is in the sanctuary beneath the amusement park. At the park, Heather faces Memory of Alessa on the carousel and reunites with her dark self. The carousel descends and Heather makes her way to the Order's sanctuary.
Trivia
- Lakeside Amusement Park may have been based on the Lakeside Amusement Park in Denver, Colorado. [11]
- In Silent Hill, a billboard for the park can be seen in the Resort Area before entering the sewers.
A billboard advertising the "colorful" amusement park in Silent Hill 2.
- In Silent Hill 2, a billboard can be seen off the side of Nathan Avenue advertising the amusement park. It is also one of the correct answers for the Trick or Treat Box.
- In Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, a billboard for the park can be seen near the plaza in the Resort Area.
- In Silent Hill: Homecoming, one of the three postcards Alex Shepherd must gather during his way through the hotel shows Robbie the Rabbit in front of the park.
- The name of the ride "Marchen Travel" may be a reference to the German fairy tales, Märchen, in which several aristocrats temporarily transform into beasts (much like werewolves). In Snow White and Rose Red, the tame bear is really a bewitched prince, and in The Golden Bird the talking fox is also a man.
