Subject to leave car in place of amusement (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

theme park

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'place of amusement' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'subject to leave car' is the wordplay.
'subject' becomes 'theme' (theme can mean a topic or subject).
'to leave car' becomes 'park' (I've seen this before).
'theme'+'park'='THEME PARK'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for theme park that I've seen before include "Area with rides, displays, etc" , "recreation area" , "Subject-based leisure attraction" , "number of day-trippers here" , "Eg, Alton Towers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
