Getting millions of visitors each and every year, theme parks are a popular part of holidays. Often frequented by families, they capture the imagination of children and give us all the thrill of adrenalin. From the Kraken at Seaworld, Orlando to Oblivion at Alton Towers in the United Kingdom, there are so many options to choose from; lets take a look.
Magic Kingdom in Orlando, Florida
Walt Disney Parks and Resorts is by far the largest theme and water park corporation in the world. Their marketing means that Magic Kingdom comes top of the list for children when it comes to holiday wish list.
From the boat trip on entrance to character dinners to fireworks there is plenty to do besides the rides but that is not to say there are no great rides to enjoy. The classic Space Mountain is always a treat while Splash Mountain and Big Thunder are well loved at the most popular and largest theme park in the world.
Sea World also in Orlando, Florida
Sticking in Orlando, Sea World is great fun for all the family. Big thrill rides like Kraken, Manta and Journey to Atlantis are brilliant. In fact, Manta is Floridas first flying rollercoaster and Atlantis is an adventure from a Greek fishing village to the legendary kingdom. Not just about the rides though, it is the shows that bring this park to life. See Shamu and friends in action, watch the dolphin show although recent developments have turned it into a Cique du Soleil esque version and head over to see the family fun of Clyde and Seymour at the Sea Lion and Otter stadium.
Paramount Park Ohio
Heading over to the Midwest of America, and this movie-based park has character and thrill rides in abundance. Some 12 huge roller coasters makes it a standout performer against bigger name competition. The longest wooden roller coaster in the world The Beast along with speedy Diamondback and the innovative Firehawk are the biggest names. With the worlds largest dinosaur as well, there is plenty to enjoy.
Alton Towers United Kingdom
Back in the UK, the best England has to offer is the thrill seekers paradise of Alton Towers. Air, Nemisis, Oblivion, Rita and Thirteen are there for thrills and spills while the newest ride The Smiler is set for launch and is said to mess with the minds of riders. With 14 loops, it holds the record for most loops on a roller coaster. Do you dare?
Get ready to be thrilled
These are four of the best. Three others worth a shout out are Port Aventura in Spain, Everland in South Korea and Ocean Park in Hong Kong. They all have their own special charm but it is time to get ready to go. Theme parks often come as part of package holidays, and this is what has made Orlando such a popular place to go. You can find all the information on the internet when you are getting ready for a summer trip by buying things like swim shorts, comfortable shoes and all your kids clothes online.
