So let's take a look at five of the best amusement parks in the world:
Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Orlando, USA
Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Orlando, USA
The park was opened to visitors in 2010. The people who have managed to create it are designers and artists who worked on the films.
The journey begins from the Hogsmeade village, where you can see the Hogwarts Express waiting for passengers, walk along beautiful streets, visit magic shops and cafes such as the Three Broomsticks legendary pub, Sweet Kingdom confectionery, Zonko shop, and Dervish and Banges store. When walking through the cobbled streets, you will eventually find yourself near the Hogwarts castle, where there are many mysterious locations and exciting attractions.
There you can visit the greenhouses of Professor Sprout, the Hagrid's hut, the office of headmaster Albus Dumbledore and even talk to the Sorting Hat and the portraits of former teachers of Hogwarts.
The castle's rides will not leave indifferent neither kids nor adults, as there you can battle with the Dementors, dragons, huge spiders, participate in the Quidditch match, and fly with the young wizards.
Additionally, in early July 2014, the third part of the Park was opened. It includes the Diagon Alley and Gringotts Bank, precisely recreated according to the movie. Also, the most amazing attraction is considered to be the "Escape from Gringotts", as it was designed according to the corresponding stage in the last book. So, if you like theme parks, then you should certainly visit this one.
Some time ago the "Hobbiton" was an ordinary sheep farm, but when it was noticed by Peter Jackson (filmmaker of "the Lord of the Rings" and "Hobbit") who decided that it is the best place to shoot scenes of the Shire, the spot has transformed into a beautiful park.
Although the major part of the scenery was dismantled after finishing work on the film, there are still lots of buildings, that reminiscent of the fabulous inhabitants of the village.
On the territory of "Hobbiton", there is a tourist route, passing through which can take up to three hours of walking. However, when doing so, you can see the home of Frodo and other inhabitants' houses, visit the Green Dragon pub to have a snack before the long journey, enjoy beautiful sceneries, and feed the sheep grazing on green meadows.
In the East of France, there is located a park dedicated to the work "Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupery and is designed for kids and adults who still remember that they once were children themselves.
An unusual feature of this place is domesticated foxes and other animals (heroes of the book). What is interesting is that anyone wanting can play with them. In the Park, there is also a rose under a glass dome due to which the Little Prince left his planet, as well as two balloons symbolizing the planets the Little Prince visited. Visitors can also fly in a biplane and other "aviation" attractions.
Legoland is a chain of theme parks, that are almost entirely built from the Lego. There are mini-copies of the world's most famous buildings, heroes of fairy tales, and cartoons, animals and birds in the parks. Today, there are six Legoland parks located in Denmark, Germany, England, Malaysia, and two parks in the United States.
All the parks are divided into thematic blocks, in each of which both children and adults can find something interesting. The Lego City which is one of the main attractions of the parks is a real city constructed using the lego.
The Efteling in the Netherlands has 650,000 square meters and is annually visited by 4 million visitors. Initially, the park was dedicated to the heroes of old European fairy tales, but eventually became a full-fledged theme park with many rides.
Visitors can visit a cursed house, the Palace of roundabouts, make a fantastic flight over the forest of the elves and swamp of trolls, see the heroes of favorite fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm, Charles Perrault, and Hans Christian Andersen and much more.
