You should include Sunway Lagoon and Berjaya Times Square Theme Park. There are a few other smaller parks, but unless you're into counting coasters, I wouldn't worry about them. If you're prepared to venture across the border into China from Honk Kong, you'll find some decent parks, including Happy Valley Shenzhen, Chimelong Paradise, Knight Valley and Chimelong Ocean Kingdom ect...

I walked all the way from the cable car to the elevator. It took me a couple of hours but it was worth it as the scenery was outstanding. I loved Zhangjiajie National Park. I allocated two days there but could have easily spent a week in the region. You trip report is bringing back some great memories for me. Thanks for sharing it.

I did a four week coaster trip to China last year, starting from Shanghai crossing all the way over to Urumqi.....Without question the trip highlights were the two days I spent in Zhangjiajie along with Terracotta Warriors. Zhangjiajie is a stunning place and highly recommended....Plus it's a perfect place to get away from all those Golden Horse spinning coasters

The Off-Season Survival Thread
superman2 replied to ernierocker's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
My other passion away from amusement parks is sports so I would try to visit as many as possible during off season. This time I'm seeing Track cycling, snooker, and soccer. -

Hi, Any chance the Schwarzkopf @ Isla San Marcos Parque Tematico, Could be added to the Mexico trip as an add on? -
I fully agree. The similarities are endless. They can easily name it Happy Valley Europe Rainbow Magicland needs a few years to settle in. The main issue with this park is lack of shade. Once the plantation is matured and they manage to open up all the rides it can become a top park in Europe. In it's present condition ( large percentage of rides not open) it's average at best.

Thanks for all your replies. The view from the top is amazing and is highly recommended. Last update of this report, Rainbow Magicland....Enjoy Vekoma junior coaster, Bomborun A selection of children rides. Amerigo the wacky worm coaster. First look at Shock! Cagliostro, Enclosed Maurer spinner. Italian firemen enjoying the park too. Stunning theming. Vekoma Mine train, Olandese Volante. Good Rapid ride, fairly wet; but with the heat it was a relief to get wet. Tower ride, Closed. Nice indoor ride. Rather boring 4D cineman show. Park overview shots. Entrance round about. Covered parking bays. Shock's station.

Vatican City, the smallest country in the world. This place is amazing. Absolutely stunning. Nearest metro station is Ottaviano, which is on line A.From the station Vatican City is a few minutes walk. . Walking to the entrance. Massive pillars. First look at St. Peter's Square. Swiss guards by the door. St Peter's basilica. Looking back at the square. The narthex Inside...... Due to poor lighting inside some photos did not come out well. Next up was the climbing up the Cupola (Dome) One would take the lift to roof level then walk up the remaining steps but during my visit the lift was not operating so i had to climb the 551 steps. It's 5 euros extra to climb to the top or 7 euros if you use the lift part way and climb the rest.. The view from the top is stunning. Looking down from the Gallery at roof level. tight stairs going to the top. If you are Claustrophobic, then it's best to not do this. View from the top. Palace of the Governorate of Vatican City State. Close up of Palace of the Governorate of Vatican City State. The museum building. The famous post card view. I thought i got rid of you. How the hell did you climb up all these steps anyway? Steps to go back down. Back at roof level for coming down only. Here you will find toilets, water drinking fountain, souvenir shop. If you look at the crown on top of the dome, that's where we were a few minutes ago. Taking all the pics of the surroundings. Close up, it was crowded up there a while back. Seams i bought the crowds down with me. Back down again. Thanks for looking at my photo TR. Hope you guys enjoyed this update. Final update from Rainbow Magicland still to come.

Parco Morelli is another children park located in south east Rome. The park was not on Rcdb when i visited it. It was the hardest park to get to as it was no way near any metro or train stations. I took the bus to this park. I don't have the bus number, as my notes are not on me, but i'll give direction to this park later. Photos.... Entrance to Parco Morelli. The coaster is called "Le Tour de Paris" Eiffel tower in Rome. Bonus Nerd shot. Thanks all for reading my report. Good things come to those who wait. I've left the best till last. I have two more large updates left. One for Vatican City and One for Rainbow Magicland. Stay tuned they'll be coming soon.

Parcolido is on the east coast area not far from Fiumcino airport. From Rome central it took around just under one hour. Although bigger then the other two smaller parks i reported on, it is still mainly for those who count coaster. Photos.... To get to Parcolido one needs to get to Piranide metro stop Line B. From there change to Roma Lido (grey line) You need to get off at Lido Centro and the park is about 3/4 minutes walk from the station. I got there around 7pm. The park was deserted. The park closd at midnight the day i was there. completly empty. The reason for coming. I know it's sad. Head hanging in shame. Mine train Il Treno Delle Miniere. Hooray, finally found someone human, even if they are climbing the rope course. Opposite Parcolido is a small children park. No coasters. Small gem of a place. Stunning.

Thanks for liking the report I fully agree with the last reply. For ease of transport you can't beat Termini. Even though more expensive the area around Pantheon or Piazza Novona, are a much nicer area to stay in. I stayed near Termini for ease of transport. Shuttle to Zoomarine and Rainbow magicland depart from here. Also i frequently used the metro so staying near Termini was a better option for me. I stayed in Augusta Lucilla Palace hotel http://www.augustalucillapalace.com/ Review here http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g187791-d1060784-Reviews-Augusta_Lucilla_Palace-Rome_Lazio.html Hotel was ok but do make your own mind up after reading the review.
