What is a good lens to take to a amusement park?
50mm on a full frame camera, 35mm on an APS-C camera, 25mm on a micro four thirds camera.

I have a wide-angle mind, so I would want a 24mm full frame or equivalent. This could capture crowds and big rides. Or a wide-angle zoom. Perhaps a fast lens is good for this--which may be why the 50mm was suggested. But in general the pictures I would want would have some depth of field, so super-fast is not wanted. Consider concentrating on those pictures your lens does best, instead of the other way round.

What size is your sensor? What size is your subject? What is your distance from the subject?

Only the first would be a constant. Silly questions in the context of what the OP asked.

One that works is a must have. That said, I would recommend a wide to telephoto. A 28-300 comes to mind. Cause you may want to shoot wide or isolate, you can do both with this lens, and this way your not tied down with lugging equipment around. And if you want to go on that coaster, go ahead.

It depends on your camera and what you like to shoot.

Wider, rather than longer. Faster, rather than slower. Of course, using a tripod and a long exposure is great for colorful, moving rides at night.

Nikon D500 user. Lots of them parks here. I live near Orlando.
Normally I take my 18-200 lens and if I have room my 35mm 1.8.
The last time I went to Sea World I took an 80-400 with taking shots of birds but the 80mm gave me nice pictures in general. Of course I had my trusty inexpsive 35mm as well.
Sometimes I go light. Take a Sony a6000 with the 16-50 lens but bring the 55-210 lens as well. Nice light convenient little camera.
Going to a local resort this weekend so trying to decide which rig to bring. LOL, might bring booth plus my 200-500 Nikon in case I decide to wake up before sun rise and visit a bear by wet land. Thank god for camera cases. LOL

Good answer ... I go to Disney, a lot. I take a 35mm (APS-C Camera) and my 18-300. Mostly the 35 stays on the camera. Depends on what amusement park and type of rides you are going to be shooting. If it is small tykes riding kiddie rides a decent telephoto might come in handy, if you are trying to capture people on rides in motion at Dorney or Knoebels ... it ain't gonna happen without a lot of planning and dumb luck.
