Create a colorful, top-down illustrated map of a United States history-themed amusement park called History Horizons. The park should be divided into 9 creatively named and clearly labeled sections, each representing one of the 9 APUSH time periods (Periods 1–9). Each section must include 2-3 unique rides or attractions named below, and the entire park should reflect the tone of a real-life theme park (like Disney World or Universal Studios), using a fun, cartoony, stylized aesthetic. The layout should be winding and organic with paths, scenery, and clearly marked labels for rides and restaurants.

🌟 Map Style Notes:
Use bright, exaggerated, colorful features like winding rollercoasters, splash zones, VR domes, rivers, decorative facades, streetlights, and colonial or modern buildings to give the park an immersive feel.
Include paths between sections and small decorative icons (like Liberty Bells, oil lamps, pickaxes, typewriters, etc.) for each zone.
Show distinct architectural styles per section (e.g., log cabins for Manifest Destiny Mountains, brick factories for Industrial Island).
Add a legend or key if possible in the corner.
