Some words contain other words that are revealed when letters are dropped, with the other letters remaining in the same order. For example, CLAMP yields CLAM, CAMP, LAMP, CLAP - plus several other smaller words. A common six-letter word yields six other words of four or five letters each when one or more letters are dropped from the parent word - without re-arranging any other letters. The six words can be defined by the following clues, which are in random order. What's the word?

1. Amusement park sight
