Kid's World (Carwardine Parks)

Kid's World is an amusement & water park stationed on the New Long Branch Pier in. It is owned by Carwardine Parks, who opened it in 1990 as a replacement of the original which was destroyed in a fire in the late 1980s. It is considered by many to be the most family friendly park in the Carwardine chain. It is often compared with Idlewild Park.

TV advertisement jingle
For 1990, the original jingle was used, though for 1991-2000 a new jingle was created by Dan Sawyer:
 * KID'S WORLD! It's all fun & games! KID'S WORLD! Where else could ya play?
 * K-I-D-S W-O-R-L-D! KID'S WORLD!
 * KID'S WORLD! It's all fun & games! KID'S WORLD! Where else could ya play?
 * KID'S WORLD! It's Kid's World, come on!

After a brief period of not using a jingle, the original jingle of the old Kid's World was rewritten and rearranged by Greg Everett for the 2003 season, and has been used ever since:
 * At Kid's World, fun surrounds you. It's happening all around you.
 * It's fun that makes the magic moments, every face tells a story!
 * Big dizzy spins, jumpin' up and jumpin' in,
 * Riding down, climbing high, it all begins!
 * At the neatest kids place you've ever seen...
 * Share the moment at... Kid's World!
 * It's a great big world at... Kid's World!
