2. Cedar Point (So much fun for all the little ones)
Cedar Point is the largest amusement ride park in the world.It is proper to the roller coaster junkie and
love that sinking, lurching feeling in the pit of your stomach.
Cedar point contains over 15 roller coaster and 68 rides.The visitors who come in spring will be enjoy with the Wicked Twister, which claims to be the world's
tallest.Riders will launch out of the station at 50 mph and up a 90 degree twisting tower.While the train reduce speed near the top of the U-shaped track,riders feel “air
time”(floating in air before zooming up another tower and spiraling down....backward).
Wait ! that's not enough, the train will go up and down the towers five times at a maximum speed of 72 mph, and twists 450 degrees. We suggest visiting the snack bar after the rides.

3. Discovery Cove
If you prefer swimming with bottlenose dolphins, snorkel through colorful reefs teeming with
thousands of tropical fish and snorkel past 4-foot-wide stingrays., Discovery Cove may be the best choice for you.
Discovery Cove is in Orlando, Fla. It is designed the way that theme parks should be, with no lines and limited admission. Discovery Cove also represents a new breed of theme park:
upscale and small market. Only 1,000 people are allowed at a time into the park, which is built as a series of lagoons, coral reefs, rivers and white sand beaches.

4. Disney
Actually, most people always think about Disney when we talk about amusement park.
All four locations ; Anaheim, Calif., Orlando, Fla., Tokyo and Paris are staggeringly huge and have everything from rides, games, restaurants, animals and water parks to learning
centers and spas, all with the backdrop of the ubiquitous mouse and kids clamoring for Disney-related merchandise.
The main attractions of Walt Disney World in Orlando consists
of four theme parks: Magic Kingdom, Disney's Animal Kingdom, Epcot and Disney-MGM Studios. In Anaheim recently added a California Adventure Park that taps into the Golden
State's obsession with outdoor thrills, such as hang gliding and white-water rafting (what next? Wheat-grass shots in mouse-shaped cups?). Despite a bumpy beginning, when
mouseaphobic protesters nearly shut down the rail system, Euro Disney eventually became a moneymaker. It's now renamed Disneyland Paris, and in early March a new park, Walt
Disney Studios, opened right next door.
Nowadays , it seems that Disney in Japan is even bigger . Tokyo Disneyland is the most visited amusement park in the world, with over 17 million visitors in 2001 The company also
has plans to build a park in Hong Kong, which just goes to show that mouse ears have become an international currency.
