Steampunk theme park

Very cool theme park. Which one you ask?

Les Machines de L'Île.

There’s a giant elephant – who’s prone to spraying water on unsuspecting visitors.

Or what about a giant ant – 4 passengers can be invited on-board to manoeuvre the legs, the head, and the mandible, while 2 machinists guide it, one on the ground and the other sitting out in front of the animal.
