Yeah?  That's interesting to hear...

It's fairly simple...

I have a list of amusement parks...names, addresses, contact info, etc.

I have lists of amusement rides for a bunch of parks.

For each park, there may be 100 or more rides.  Each ride entry may
include links to two other ride entries which indicate earlier or later
installations of the same machine.  For instance, the "Nightmare at
Phantom Cave" roller coaster (a Schwarzkopf Jet Star) at Darien Lake would
include links not only to Darien Lake, but also to its previous
incarnation as the Kentucky Kingdom "Starchaser" and to its current
incarnation as "Nightmare at Crackaxle Canyon" at The Great Escape.  So by
looking at any one 'ride' record, one can get a history of that particular
machine...and more important, by looking up any park, one can get a list
of rides.

So AppleWorks 5 might work for that?  Hmmmmm.....
