Steven24 Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 I would have to say the best themed park I ever been to was Europa Park its gorgeous even better themed than IOA in my opinion. 1. Europa Park 2. Island of Adventure 3. Universal Studios 4. Alton Towers 5. N/A
Coasterlicious Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 I havent been to an official "theme" park... but from pictures, IOA and all the Disney's look very nice... and Disney Sea looks like one of the coolest themed parks...
coasterguy618 Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 Hmmmm.....I say Islands of Adventures is The Best Themed Park.
SonOfBeastSucks Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 I haven't been there in a few years, but I say IOA.
socalMAN123 Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 The best themed park that I've been to is probably Disneyland. The best themed park that I haven't been to is probably DisneySea or IOA. ---Brent 8)
benzo41190 Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 i would also say IOA. The best themepark chain would have to be Paramount.
shepp Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 (edited) ^ I've been to PGA and PKD, and I thought the theming at both was desultory at best. The finest theming? In ways big and small - from the tiny details at Port of Entry to the grand sweep of Poseidon's Whatever - IOA. Of the other parks I've been to: parts of DAK are as cool as IOA...but not all of it. And I thought the theming at BGW was overrated. Edited September 7, 2005 by shepp
coasterdude5 Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 All of those are my choices but I'll add Dollywood and Silver Dollar City. Every year I go I really feel like I've gone back in time.
rollermonkey Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 5. Space World 4. Europa Park 3. Busch Gardens Williamsburg 2. Tokyo Disneyland 1. Tokyo DisneySea SW was a huge surprise with it's parkwide single theme, excellently carried out. EP is gorgeous, and has great rides of all types. BGW looks almost like a garden with european villages dropped in! TDL, IMO the best looking "Magic Kingdom," I've only not been to HKDL. TDS, jawdroppingly amazing. Best looking Disney park, and that's saying a lot! Water everywhere, Med really looks like Italy (but clean) and the New England Village could be just about any town on Cape Cod (but with a volcano looming behind.) Honorable mentions: Alton Towers, but it's more a garden with rides than an actual theme park. Universal Studios Port Aventurra, this park needs a little growth, but it is a collection of well executed themes. Universal Studios Japan, a collection of rides from the US parks, in a very realistic themed setting. Chris B I need to get to IOA!
Sir Clinksalot Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 I need to get to IOA! And here we are all thinking "Damn, I need to get to Disneysea!"
Nrthwnd Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 Of the ones I have been to, so far? Disneyland Paris. Period. IMO.
BelizeIt Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 In California---Disneyland In Florida---Islands of Adventure Islands of Adventure is an example of how to build a near perfect Theme Park. If they didn't add another Major Attraction for many years I wouldn't care, I would still go back every chance I got. When it comes to IOA they not only have some Excellent Original Ride Designs, but the Restaurants are Top Notch! They spent a LOT of money designing and building this Theme Park and it shows!!!
Snuff Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 I'm always surprised how little Port Aventura is featured on these forums. I thought the themeing was absolutely wonderful and it's also a brilliant park.
Movieguy Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 I've never been to IOA, but I always hear about out being so well themed. It sure seems to have a lot of color. To me, the best themed park I've been to outside of the Disneyworld parks has been BGW. To me the theming was anything BUT overrated, and until I encounter a better one, I will continue to think so.
coasterjon Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 i Would Have to Say IOA disneyland and Alton Towers
Damien666 Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 Out of all the park I have been to, IOA hands down! If the American Disney parks put a good amount of money into the theming of their parks, they might be able to get up to IOA's theming. But so far, IOA is just killing the mouse! Universal shows that if you put good money and time into what your doing, you can create something stunning. I still can't belive IOA used to be a parking lot! Unlike DCA...
captain Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 if it`s just the theming it will be a tie between IoA, Europa Park and the Disneyland Paris. I think Tokyo Disney Sea will join this list next year, but we`ll see...
ExTraxYz Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 I think everyone here from The Netherlands will choose The Efteling, and so do I
tinhead Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 My ten cents USA = IOA UK = Alton Towers EURO= Europa Park
wallaaa -be Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 the best theme park is europa park for me
