    The rails can also be drawn as line way and tagged roller_coaster=track. Do not tag them as a railway.

    The rails can also be drawn as line way and tagged roller_coaster=track. Do not tag them as a railway.

    attraction summer_toboggan area node A big slide with small vehicles in a halfpipe or on rails, see e.g. http://www.rodelzentrum.de - the area of the installation should be tagged.

    attraction swing_carousel area node A carousel made of swings.
    attraction train way node A train used to visit a park and see other attractions or views. This is not a roller coaster. It is best to tag the railways or a centre node.

    attraction boat_ride way node A calm boat ride, such as a tow boat ride, a free boating ride or a touristical boat ride in a historic city

    Notes

    This is not a subkey of tourism=attraction since the attractions are usually part of bigger feature, such as an amusement park. As of 2022-04-07, 30.7% of the attraction=* tags are paired with a tourism=attraction tag.

    As of April 2022, attraction=animal is still the most common value for the attraction key with roughly 40% of the values.[1]
