Yea, the octopus playground is a very nostalgic piece in Japan, and few new ones are made AFAIK. People catalog them online (like railfans cataloging bridges or locomotives), so i wanted a way to tag them when the equipment itself is made into the shape of a giant octopus. I love the idea of railfans searching for "train themed locations"! I guess if you were looking for 50's style diners with waitresses in hoop skirts or something, theme might be a very big part of the choice. But considering the overlap that can occur with themes, it might be good to tie some to their parent tag to avoid a kind of tag pollution. Theme parks, restaurants, and playgrounds may all have themes, but often times the theme of the park is much more pertinent than that of a concrete octopus slide. A lot of theme parks are tied to their brand (disney), so places with a very obvious theme might just be their brand.
