Here in Phoenix, it gets terribly hot in the late spring, all summer, early fall (100+degF/37deg C). Phoenix has a high population of Hispanic persons (we're about three hours from the northern boarder of Mexico). We have one small amusement park. Nothing that people would travel to on purpose. Ah, AZ has the Grand Canyon, Meteor Crater, the largest portion of the Navajo nation, the London Bridge, Casa Grande Monument, the only McDonald’s in the world that has a non-yellow large M on its restaurant (its turquoise, in Sedona), and the southern most ski resort in the 48 continuous states (Summerhaven on Mount Lemmon, just north of Tucson).

I guess I should put a few more things actually about Phx...largest city in AZ, 5th largest in the US (larger than LA), we have the Tovrea Castle, the Mystery Castle, the Desert Botanical Garden, Pueblo Grande Museum, St. Mary's Basilica, and the Wrigley Mansion (of Wrigleys Gum fame).

http://phoenix.gov/ARTS/pridepts.html

Few more things in southern AZ: University of AZ, the Mission San Xavier del Bac, Colossal Cave Mountain Park, Kartchner Caverns, and the DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun.

I guess I could go on for forever...but I'll try to limit my posts to babble stuff.
