Top Ten Amusement Parks |
1. |
Walt Disney World - Orlando, FL |
  |
|
| Nobody does it like Disney. Clean, efficient and most importantly, fun for all ages. Gets better with every visit, but It will be hard to beat the most recent for Jack's 4th birthday. | |
2. |
Hersheypark - Hershey, PA |
  |
 |
Small, homey park with the smell of chocolate! Closest to our home, so have visited a number of times, but it never gets old.
|
|
3. |
Universal Studios - Orlando, FL |
 |
 |
| The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman is probably my all time favorite ride. Update: While the big Harry Potter fan was dissapointed (Barbara), I thought they took the Spiderman ride concept to new heights. Unfortunaetly, the rest of the Hogwarts addition is devoted to shopping. | |
4. |
Dutch Wonderland - Lancaster, PA |
   |
 |
This is one where the little kids rule. Can easily do it all in a day, but even Jack was tired by the end.
|
|
5. |
Busch Gardens - Williamsburg, VA |
  |
A nice mix of old world charm and modern rides. I need to return now that Sesame Street characters have been added. |
6. |
Power Plant - Baltimore, MD |
 |
  |
| Located in the Inner Harbor in the 1980's, the short lived and now lamented attraction is now occupied by the ESPN Zone. | |
7. |
Disneyland - Anaheim, CA |
 |
Have been there twice, yet was somehow disappointed both times. Many of the same attractions as Disney World, so I can't really explain why. |
8. |
Six Flags Great Adventure - Jackson, NJ |
 |
 |
| The drive through Wildlife Safari provides an interesting experience, but the park is dirty and unattractive. | |
9. |
Adventure World - Largo, MD |
 |
 |
| Now part of the Six Flags chain, so has probaly grown, but at the time provided a pleasant day out. | |
10. |
SeaWorld - Orlando, FL |
 |
 |
| Have visited several times, and while the aquatic shows are nice, the rides are nothing special. When in Orlando, this would be my last choice. | |
