okay but where roller coasters?
one of them is emotional and the other one is in my pants and someones gonna ride it all night
Damn. That’s a good answer.
Bring strippers to a theme park for the day!
The theme is SEEEEEEEEEEX
“Why is there a waste management facility directly behind a playground? Sometimes there are kids there!!!”
If a bunch of them have coordinated a themed red light district, I guess that may count for the most explicit approach to this idea, but I don't know of any that have, albeit maybe parts of Vegas have given that a run for its money.
I mean there is a red light district skyscraper being built in Amsterdam right?
Universal does Halloween horror nights that is very adult oriented. It's in their normal park but they are open a standalone Halloween themed park in las Vegas soon that will be similar but full time.
Busch Gardens too. It's pretty fun, we've gone a couple times and had a blast.
Worlds of Fun here in KC does this too. Kids can enter, but the do not recommend they stay after dark. They have a parade, have entire areas that are outdoor haunted houses, and send people running through the crowd to scare them. It is a lot of fun. Most of these regional parks are all owned by the same company (Six Flags, IIRC).
Omega mart in Las Vegas might come close?
Can't think of large scale ones unless you include the rest of Las Vegas.
Yeah, it may not be the larger scale but it strikes at the basic idea I was thinking of, so thanks!

Busch Gardens if you want a theme park that’s also a zoo and botanical garden and has a lot of alcohol because its purpose is to advertise Anhauser Busch beers.
EDIT: Kids are allowed, but the alcoholic attractions are designed for adults.
Oh God the worst beers
Tokyo
Correct
New Orleans - enjoy the potholes.
(It’s really a great place though & I miss living there)
if temporary counts i'd say burningman.org or one of the giant music festivals
Highly recommend meowwolf. I did the Vegas one on a work trip and it was a blast.
Unfortunately that one is still plagued by children, even if not fully designed for them, at least when I was there
Hadn't heard of the first two, thanks!
Burning Man?
Not technically a park, more of an event
There's an amusement park in Maine that does "after dark" a few nights per year. Adults only and they serve drinks. It's marketed toward millennials who grew up going to the park. I haven't been, but it seems popular.
If you're a disney adult, i have some great news.
LARPs, honestly
Fuji Q Highland in Japan has a lot of record breaking attractions and coasters and is more popular among adults. There are some areas catered towards children but these are fairly well sectioned off.
Race track.
The Playboy Mansion? ;-)
I don't think I've ever heard of one, and I'm not sure if it'd be profitable. I mean, a lot of elements of theme parks are designed to extract money from parents, and only work because they are there with a child.
How would the adult theme park make money? Expensive entry tickets maybe? We would want to avoid alcohol because we don't want people acting without inhibitions near all this heavy machinery, plus it'd make cleaning more expensive, and might cause more vandalism. I guess you could not allow re-entry once they leave, to force them to eat inside the park. But that's about all I can see happening. You could put a nice sit down dining place inside the park though too, because the audience would be more into that sort of thing.
How about the decor, what kinds of thing even appeal to adults? This one is tough. Maybe a western, or dystopian future theme? That could be cool.
You'd 100% be selling overpriced alcohol in an adult-centric theme park. If Six Flags and even Disney have figure out how to do it safely (and very profitably, I'm sure), so can other theme parks.
You can buy alcohol at Disney?! With everything being so prude about drinking in public in the US, this completely amazes me.
Prude stops being an issue when money can be made with it.

You got a point, if we've seen it work there, it can work here.
Honestly, I wanna know as well. I've been enjoying Carowinds and I enjoyed Universal, but they're both quite family-oriented. Maybe Cedar Point is more adult? Seems like they have lots of big rides... But they also have a Camp Snoopy area there...
In what country or continent?
Honestly any, even if I may never get a chance to visit, I like learning about some of them, particularly ride designs and engineering. (Also for those lurking, this question is mainly inspired by having watched some more Defunctland videos lately.)
6 flags was fun as an adult.
MMOs
I'm so glad I'm not the only person that gets the same "theme park" vibes from MMOs. It really takes me out of it when someone is doing the same quest as me but is a few steps ahead so they trigger a unique animation or dialogue from the quest giver, and then I experience the same animation or dialogue a few minutes later. Kinda like waiting in line for a ride but you can hear or see some parts of the ride as you progress through the line.
If you have a Meta Quest headset, my VR Theme Park is more mature. https://www.meta.com/experiences/4212005182188732/
Evermore kind of fits this, but I wouldn't recommend it.
Disney California Adventure. Kid friendly but serving beer from day 1
Thanks, but to clarify when asking specifically for adults, I don't mean involving alcohol (or despite an earlier reply's suggestion, sex).
