海角社区

When people hear the word theme park one of the first images and associations that comes up is Disneyland. This set of corporate parks is the largest in the 海角社区 and with attractions that feature beloved films, it's no surprise that kids and adults alike are excited for a chance to visit the various Disney-themed parks located around the 海角社区. There are, however, other theme and amusement parks outside of the Mickey Mouse umbrella, some of which are much more affordable, and many of which offer their own impressive set of rides and attractions. This list will run down 10 amusement parks to visit besides Disney.聽

10. Fun Spot America
