Worst parks:
3. Europa Park
4. Liseberg
What and double -triple-mega-what?????
Europa is too crammed with different areas and rides, it's almost too big to enjoy. It's a mission to get the creds even on a quiet day. Maybe I would have liked it more if I'd spent 2 days there, but most of the coasters there we're nothing special anyway.
I agree that none of the coasters are anything special but I adored all the little random attractions at Europa. Spending two days there meant I got to explore every nook and cranny of the park and it really was fantastic. Nothing felt half arsed and even the older things (Disney rip-off stuff) were easy to enjoy. Love the place <3
I don't know what an actual thought out top 10 would look like, but I can list 10 parks that I love.
1) Europa Park (for the reasons stated above)
2) Efteling - pure magic, everything has that European weirdness to it that I adore, it has a fairytale forest and just mental things going on and it breathtaking to look at. Love Efteling.
3) EPCOT (Why does every park begin with E?) I freaking LOVE EPCOT. It's mad. Like, as a park it doesn't make ANY sense. 2 halves that have pretty much nothing to do with each other. OK, Future World is getting a bit dated now but I love how unique the place is and World Showcase is just <3
4) Phantasialand - I love parks where I think I know what a ride is going to do and then it just goes NOPE. That's Phantasialand. Oh, and it's super pretty.
5) Alton Towers - Even though I wish Alton had some of the more nostalgic attractions left to enjoy, I really love what the park has become. It's pretty, has good coasters and a weird, almost haunting atmosphere? <3
6) Disneyland - because it was everything I wanted it to be and more. The place is just ridiculous.
7) Tivoli Gardens - as you can see, I enjoy parks that are pretty, and Tivoli Gardens it probably one of the most gorgeous settings for a park I've ever been to. And it has all of those kooky old rides that I have a soft spot for. And the everything on top of each other layout. Yes.
9) Hersheypark - Everything was good. And Skyrush lives there.
10) Busch Gardens Williamsburg - is pretty much the ideal park, no? It has a perfect blend of intense thrill rides, family rides, a few animals, shows, good food and is beautiful.
