A front end of the grip portion 423 is rounded. The grip portion 423 is configured to be gripped by the user (a person playing with the amusement park toy 100). Therefore, for example, the user can move the moving toy 41 along the first rail portion 12 and the second rail portion 222 by moving the traction member 42 in the up-down direction while pinching the grip portion 423. As described above, in the present embodiment, the moving toy 41 is configured to move along the first rail portion 12 and the second rail portion 222. Further, the moving toy 41 is movable on the first rail portion 12 and the second rail portion 222 via a traction member 42 configured to be gripped by the user.
[0046] The claw portion 424 is provided substantially at the center of the first member 425, and is located inside the hole 425A formed in the central portion of the first member 425. The claw portion 424 includes a flat plate member 424A, a first engaging portion 424B, and a second engaging portion 424C. The flat plate member 424A is connected to the hole 425A of the first member 425 and the first engaging portion 424B. The first engaging portion 424B has a convex shape and protrudes rightward from the hole 425A of the first member 425.

[0050] When the user further grips the placement portion 321 of the gondola member 32A and pulls the placement portion 321 to lift the placement portion 321 forward, the first deformable member 324 is detached from the hole 312. At this time, the first deformable member 324 bends downward. When the first deformable member 324 is detached from the hole 312, an external pressure applied to the first deformable member 324 is eliminated, and thus the first deformable member 324 returns to an original state. When the user removes the gondola member 32A from the rotation main body 31, as described above, the first deformable member 324 is bent downward and the second deformable member 325 is bent downward, and thus the user can easily remove the protruding portion 323 from the hole 312. In this way, the user can remove the gondola member 32A from the rotation main body 31.

In such an amusement park toy, since the rail portion extends in the up-down direction, a moving direction of the moving toy moving on the rail portion is also fixed in the up-down direction. Therefore, there is room for improvement in related amusement park toys.
[0055] On the other hand, the amusement park toy 100 according to the above configuration includes the moving toy 41 configured to move along the first rail portion 12 provided to extend upward and the second rail portion 222 extending to be curved upward from the horizontal direction. That is, the moving toy 41 moves in the up-down direction when moving along the first rail portion 12, whereas the moving toy 41 moves in the horizontal direction when moving along the second rail portion 222. As described above, according to the amusement park toy 100, since the moving toy 41 is movable not only in the up-down direction but also in the horizontal direction, the amusement park toy 100 has high amusement.
[0056] According to the amusement park toy 100 having the above-described configuration, at least a portion (the curved surface 416) of a surface (the floor surface portion 412) of the moving toy 41 in contact with the first rail portion 12 and the second rail portion 222 is curved in a convex shape with respect to the first rail portion 12 and the second rail portion 222. Therefore, for example, when the moving toy 41 moves from the second rail portion 222 to the first rail portion 12, the moving direction of the moving toy 41 can be smoothly changed.
[0057] Further, according to the amusement park toy 100 having the above configuration, the moving toy 41 is movable on the first rail portion 12 and the second rail portion 222 via a traction member 42 configured to be gripped by the user. Therefore, when moving the moving toy 41, for example, the user can move the moving toy 41 by gripping and pulling the traction member 42. As described above, according to the amusement park toy 100, the moving toy 41 can be easily moved.
[0058] According to the amusement park toy 100 having the above configuration, the first rail portion 12 includes three engaged portions (the first engaged portion 121, the second engaged portion 122, and the third engaged portion 123) configured to engage with the claw portion 424 of the traction member 42. Therefore, according to the amusement park toy 100, since the user can engage the moving toy 41 with the first rail portion 12 at a predetermined position of the first rail portion 12, the amusement can be improved.
[0059] According to the amusement park toy 100 having the above configuration, when the moving toy 41 is moving on the first rail portion 12 extending in the up-down direction, an accommodation state of the doll 200 (an example of the object) in the accommodation portion 411 of the moving toy 41 is maintained. That is, even when the moving direction of the moving toy 41 changes upward, the doll 200 does not fall from the accommodation portion 411. Therefore, according to the amusement park toy 100, the amusement can be improved.
