In this thread we can discuss theme parks that arent Disney, be it Universal Studios, Busch Gardens, or even some small local amusement park

I really liked Italy's Gardaland, to the point that the idea of a theme park based on a single company's copyrights sounded restrictive to me (I never went to Disneyland or Legoland). They had rides and areas themed around genres in general that anyone could recognise: pirates, Egyptian tombs, the Wild West, Merlin, and rollercoasters with no real theme. I could talk about some of them but I would have to jog my memory of my teenage years.

Stories don't tell us monsters exist; we knew that already. They show us that monsters can be trademarked and milked for years.

Surprised Kings Island is making a new Beast coaster, let alone a new Beast hypercoaster.

My favourite park is Portaventura, and my favourite ride there is Shambala. I also quite like Angkor - when it's actually open. Seriously, that ride breaks down a lot.

Thought I’d try and wake up this old thread with this video:

Information on an upcoming theme park in Oregon.

And one more for good measure:

Information of Efteling theme park.

I remember that there was a time in summer 2021 where my dad and I would go to Six Flags Great America pretty regularly.

I want to go back there sometime soon - my favorite ride there is the X Flight.

Cold turkey's getting stale. Tonight I'm eating crow.

Bumping with an interesting video of Universal’s Epic Universe Universal Monsters section.

Anyone interested in the other sections of the park?

I still like to think about that nine years later. My brother-in-law loves roller coaster and other such thrill rides, but he met his match with the 3D coaster in the Harry Potter castle at Universal Orlando.

Harry Potter is the next section they’re announcing. Right now, it’s Universal Monsters.

Think your brother in law could handle that werewolf coaster?

Actually, what DID happen with the Harry Potter ride?

On my way to and from Racine Zoo yesterday, I drove by the very cool Six Flags Great America. cool I saw that one of their most iconic roller coasters, the American Eagle, is still there. tongue I heard they were planning on replacing it with something else, but so far it seems like nothing came of it.
