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 can't judge 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 within the answer.
The remaining letters 'the' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

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" .)
