I’m planning a trip to Taiwan and Korea and was thinking of making a stop to HK Disneyland or Universal Singapore. Which one would you guys recommend?
Compare this to Disney Springs is there shopping or just restaurants looking at a map seems like just restaurants. Heard they charge to park there unless you go late in the evening
I remember going to an amusement park when my mom lived in Philadelphia, PA so it was either a Pennsylvania or New Jersey park. It had a water ride where you were in a single tube and you floated like in a lazy river, but then it also had slides that would take you down a level at a time. So sort of like a lazy river that went down a mountain. Several people were all going at the same time and they had attendants to help move people along if they got jammed up where the mouth to the slide thing would take you down to the next part. I cannot for the life of me remember where this is, does anyone have a clue?!
Tldr: Do people have recommendations for theme parks in Asian based on themeing and non-thrill rides (other than Disney)?
Live in Australia and recently went to Hong Kong Disney. My partner is a big Disney/theme Park fan and we both really enjoyed it. I'd love to plan a trip to a non-disney park before we do a bigger trip to Tokyo Disneyland/Sea in a couple of years. Really love dark rides and animatronics but I'm a total wimp when it comes to heights/drops. For context, the mine carts was pretty much beyond my limit
Looking at the non Disney options in Asia, they all seem really thrill focused. Do people have any recommendations?
I don’t like going roller coasters, I’m only here for Christmas decorations with some of my other members like my brothers and their girlfriends. We went to Seaworld San Diego Christmas last year but we didn’t like it much.
I promise this is not an ad!
My girlfriend is a successful artist who is looking to expand her works with a focus on theme parks and coasters. She’s looking for source material that she can paint, draw, etc!
If you have any unique or striking photos that you would like to see turned into an original piece, please DM me! If she chooses your photo as inspiration, we’ll provide you with a digital copy of the work for free, as a thank you!
Attached is an original piece that she made for me at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk! Your piece may or may not be a similar style, depending on her vision
Hello, I'm planning to take my girlfriend to europa park in early april 2025 for 2 days, I'm passionate about amusement parks and europa park is my favorite park but my girlfriend does not like thrills, she is afraid of inversion, and especially the height
And I would like to know, is there anyone who has already been in the same situation, you or one of your friends, to hate the big attractions and especially what attractions you did to overcome this fear? Which of the worst ones did you find the most interesting for overcoming your fear? I'd like to know because I'm not going to lie at the end of day 2, I hope we've done voltron!
And by the way, we go on weekdays outside school vacations, so we should be on a walkon queue-wise 😁
I’m planning a trip to Europe next June, flying and out of Amsterdam. So far I’m thinking of going to Walibi Holland, Phantasialand, Thorpe Park and Energylandia. I’ve already been to Tivoli, Gröna Lund, Liseberg, Europa Park and Efteling. Any suggestions?
Got a four year old boy he’s about 42 inches tall . We’ve been to Disney and Lego land . Where should I take him this weekend ? We’ll drive up Friday and land at noon and need to leave Sunday afternoon . Even debating going back to Disney or Lego land
Also do any parks charge less for coming in later in the day ??
For a school project on theme parks I am doing research into the relationship between the tourism industry and theme park visitors.
As part of my research i have to make a question list and gather information through that, I was hoping you all were willing to answer this list

P.S mods if this isn't allowed then I am sorry
I’m visiting Orlando and will definitely be going to Islands of Adventure. We are planning on going to theme parks for 2 days and I’m having a hard time deciding what our 2nd theme park should be. I’ve been to universal studios in LA several years ago. Is universal studios in Orlando that different? I am coming from Northern California so the SoCal theme parks are very accessible for future trips.
Quick question.
I remember in the past there was an old Ride in the "Europa Park". It was a Simulator or something. I´m sure it was in the building which now is called the "Arena of Football".
I´m pretty sure it was in this building, but i can´t find any information about it.
I remember when i was there in the 90´s, there were Pilot Animatronics in the Waiting line Area, one even hanging with a parachute on the top, cause his Plane crashed or something.
Also you could see 2 airport tower workers too. Maybe they got rid of all of this after 9/11 happened.
Anybody remember this and know the name of it?
Edit:
Found it myself.
It was the "Kamtschatka Airline Klub".
Hi everyone, looking for opinions on which theme parks I should go to in LA. My options are
I’m coming from Aus on the way to Canada, and specifically only stopping in LA for parks. (I’ve been to LA before). I am staying in Anaheim, so obviously close to Disney, but will have a car. Im travelling solo so will be able to access single rider cues wherever I go. A bit about me:
So you can see why I’m struggling to decide! Really Disneyland is a definite, it’s choosing where to spend my additional full day. I’ve been to Universal in Orlando before, but never to a six flags. I really love the theming of disney parks though, the magic and meeting characters.
I could potentially also do some time somewhere on the day I land, as I land quite early and I’m generally a good sleeper on long haul flights. Could I tick off any of the parks in a half day format do you think?
Thanks for your advice all
While exiting a group of people gave us two Universal Gap Express pass and I m afraid to use them. Is it safe to use them ?? Can I add it to my account?? Please anyone who know about it reply to this before tomorrow!!! Please please please
Okay this is kind of a fun question that I’ve been curious about for a while. If you ever had the chance to open your own theme park or water park , what would the theme be, And where would you choose to build it?
Personally, I would love an Americana themed park to be a thing, maybe like Disney’s old never built park Disneys America. But in terms of location I’m biased since I live in Tennessee. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan of Dollywood but TN kinda lacks other fun non tourist trap attractions, so I’d definitely build my park in the Chattanooga or Nashville area. How about y’all?
What’s your favourite Kmg ride in the uk?
The mayor of Maricá, east from Rio de Janeiro, said he negotiate with Le Puy du Fou, the famous European historical park, to open an unit in the city. The place is super close to Rio, so I imagine the tourism during carnival will be crazy.
How will you guys imagine will be the park? Maybe Brazilian history + the history of countries that immigrated to Brazil (Portugal, Italy, Spain, Germany, Japan, Lebanon, etc)?
I’m considering a drive down from Michigan to Cincinnati for their Christmas festivities with the kids. Has anyone gone is it worth a 4 hour drive ?
I’m going the first week of December and all tickets are sold out, is there anyway to obtain a couple or am I shit out of luck? My gf booked a whole trip to Orlando for our daughter’s bday and we waited last minute after we secured everything else to purchase tickets but now they are sold out and she’s freaking out. Is there anyway at all I can get a pair of tickets??
So my girlfriend planned a trip for our daughter’s birthday in December to Orlando. We took care of flights bnb etc first and then was gonna buy tickets for Disney last but they are apparently all sold out and she’s extremely bummed out like depressed we got into a huge argument because I told her not to be sad about it. Is there any other way to obtain tickets? Gonna be in Orlando from the 5th to 8th so I’d like to get atleast them two tickets. Any possible leads at all? I’m trying to become boyfriend of the century
So, I love a theme park, and I’m needing on advice on how to become theme park enthusiasts, I see videos and meet ups it looks amazing any advice?
Hey y'all - I just uploaded this video to Youtube, it's a short history of Celebrity Theme Parks: https://youtu.be/Ke-abLdSsyQ?si=o8KX3d9j6vnNzsZG
I'm lowkey trying to manifest a Taylor Swift-inspired theme park, which I pitched here: https://youtu.be/1YJEZUzbhLI?si=KDCltuaUZivWHHMe
I would love feedback from any fellow Swiftie theme park goers! TIA :)
