Your top parks in Europe

[Mtl_Shag]

I'm planning a trip to Europe in October, and while parks are not the main reason I'd like to hit a few while I'm there.

 

So my question is, for those who've been to several European parks, what would be your top 3, can't miss, kick yourself if you miss them parks? I honestly don't care where they are in Europe as long as there's an airport nearby with discount airlines that connect to London.

 

I've got my own ideas of places I really want to go (i.e. Blackpool, Tivoli Gardens) but I'd really like some first hand advice.

Liseberg

Europa Park

Blackpool

 

Those would probably be my top 3.

 

You can fly RyanAir from London to Liseberg pretty cheap!

Parc Asterix

Phanatasialand

De Efteling

Europa Park

Parque Warner

Walibi Belgium

In the UK;

 

Alton Towers

Blackpool Pleasure Beach

Thorpe Park

 

Not necessarily in that order.

It would have to be

De Efteling (personal number 1 theme park from our narrow list of personal theme parks)

Walibi Belgium (a small dose of patriotism doesn't hurt and it's got great coasters, the best ones in Belgium at least)

Alton Towers (if you'll be in the UK that is) or EuropaPark (if you'll stay on the continent that is) or Parc Astérix (if you're rather a francophile that is)

[TimeChild]

Certainly Europapark

Liseberg

Parc Astérix

 

and if you have kids : Plopsaland (Belgium).

Wow! Thanks for the feed back. All of it is very much appreciated.

 

From what I can gather, using some simple ranking and weighting in excel, the top 3 are 1) Europa Park 2) Liseburg and then 3) De Efteling with Alton one point back. Time to hit some discount airline websites...
