So I was hanging with a couple friends and my partner last night and the one friends is someone I can discourse about horror movies with. She told me that in a few days Shudder will be releasing a never-before-seen George A. Romero movie called The Amusement Park that he made as a commission from the Lutheran church as an allegory for ageism.
While I’m not entirely sure if there are AP elements, it’s an elderly man experiencing horrific things at an amusement park where the rides I believe are meant to highlight aspects of aging? So of course that got me to thinking about a time/aging themed amusement park, or even an amusement park that causes aging but advertises itself otherwise.
Thoughts, folks??

I think it's amusement parks have great potential for AP stories. In fact I wrote one set in an amusement park years ago. Though mine had general aging across the whole park - I think it would be fun for each of the rides and activities to change peoples ages in different ways. Play up the various rides - like maybe a roller coaster that ages and regresses you depending on whether you're going up or down a hill etc.
Someone shared some videos on here a while ago of a woman riding in the cockpit of an airplane topless and her breasts rose and fell throughout it- I always felt like there was some awesome potential for a really visually satisfying scene of a teenage girl with perky breasts riding on one of those 'Tower Drop' rides and aging as she plummets, with her breasts growing and then sagging so that they are like a pair of wrinkly wind-socks flopping in her face as she gets towards the bottom.
