GPT 3.5
The total amount of water used in the park after the new ride is installed can be expressed in scientific notation as:

8.7 x 10^5 + 7.8 x 10^3 = (8.7 + 0.078) x 10^5 = 8.778 x 10^5

Therefore, the total amount of water used in the park after the new ride is installed is 8.778 x 10^5 gallons.
