At La Ronde, Expo's 135-acre amusement area, there is an aquarium with penguins, a Pioneer Land where gun fights take place every hour, a "safari" through a man-made jungle (where kids can ride on an elephant, a zebra, an ostrich or a llama). For thrill seekers, there is the Gyrotron, a $3,000,000 contraption that allows tourists to strap themselves into miniature rail cars and then be hurtled through a maze of environments that begins with a terrifyingly realistic "orbit" among the stars, careens on through the hellish jaws of a live...
