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

'where to get fun rides in noah's' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'boat carrying politician from brussels' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'boat' could be 'ark' (ark is a kind of boat) and 'ark' is present in the answer.
'politician' could be 'mep' (Member of European Parliament) and 'mep' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'the' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

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