What theme parks are the most GP friendly?

Not necessarily good for enthusiasts but good for everyone as a whole? Need some good suggestions.
 
The ones that immediately spring to mind:

In Europe -
  • Europa Park
  • Phantasialand
  • Efteling
  • Liseberg
  • Parc Asterix

In North America -
  • Silver Dollar City
  • Dollywood
  • IOA
  • SeaWorld
  • Could see the argument for some of the Six Flags/Cedar Fair parks in there too - some do have quite a broad coaster lineup, albeit generally lacking the charm of the 'independent' parks.

Will pass on Asia/Oceania - not enough experience.
 
Knoebels markets itself as a park for everyone and they literally have something for everyone.
  • Free admission for those that don't wanna ride so everyone can enjoy the park grounds
  • For those that do wanna ride, their tickets and wristbands are very affordable.
  • Plenty of shade
  • Amazing food, but they have picnic grounds so you can bring your own food if you don't wanna pay.
  • Rides for all ages. Most of the rides there have low height requirements so everyone can ride
  • Very pet friendly
  • There are free museums on-site
  • There's a golf course on-site too.
 
I’ve found Disney parks to be the best for GP-friendly experiences. They’re really good about accessibility and have plenty of resources to help you out. Universal Studios is another solid option, especially with their ride-access system. I’ve had smooth experiences at both!
