If I used concrete columns that are driven 10 feet into the ground, to support an Amusment park ride that can weigh 80 tons or less, what would the dimensions of each column need to be?

You're not much of an engineer. What are the columns resting in/on? What is the area of the base? The tallest point? Is it all the same height?
Are the columns pure concrete? What type?

I have no idea but this is a question to ask an engineer, not on a board like this where any yahoo could give you a bad answer

you'd really need to know the weight distribution of the ride and the soil properties.

280.5 CU YARDS OF GOOD CONCRETE AND SOME GOOD STEEL.
