Highest Number of Parks per capita in the world

Canada: 0.03

Australia: 0.02

 

Haha, nice. I figured Canada and Australia would be in similar situations.

 

Both have massive amounts of unused wilderness.

 

Canada might be one of the biggest countries in the world. But the vast majority of it is inhabitable.

I feel old. I remember when people still used real brick and mortar (or whatever they happen to be built with) libraries. I have also done entire research papers with books. Paper books. Stacked by the dewey decimal system books.

We are really unpatriotic, aren't we?! All the British people on here seem to be saying how bad our parks are, but the thing to remember is that a lot of our parks are a lot older and have a lot more history tha some of their American counter parts! Just look at Blackpool, it may be a bit shabby and rough around the edges but remember that a lot of those rides have been there for a very long time, and personally I think they've done a fantastic job slipping in 'Infusion'. Ok, Ok, it is nothing new and exciting, it came from another park, but they've given it a bit of TLC and made it fit in really well with the park and they've done a good job! But the park itself and the rides have been on that sea front for a long time and so they've taken a lot of punishment! A lot of American parks won't have been around as long and will have more modern rides because they are more modern parks!

 

I personally think that is where we fall down, our parks don't tend to be on the cutting edge or as modern as those in the US and so in comparison they don't seem as exciting and thats a real shame because we have some good rides over here we just don't have the space or the money to be as cutting edge as our friends in US! Unfortunately many of the parks in the US have more money, more theming, more rides and more space but that doesn't mean we don't have some good parks over here!

 

Personally, I do prefer the American theme parks I've been too, but I also think maybe we're being a bit harsh on the parks in the UK, they are trying and some of them are pretty good!

 

But then thats just my opinion! [/rant]
