THEME PARKS

FUN AND MORE THAN FUN

Which theme park would you like to visit? There are various kinds of theme
parks, with different parks for almost everything: food, culture, science, cartoons,
movies, history, and so on. Some parks are famous for having the biggest or
longest roller coasters, others for showing famous sights and sounds. Whichever
and whatever you like, there is an incredible theme park that will appeal to you!

The theme park you are probably most familiar with is Disneyland,
which can be found in several parts of the world. Disneyland will
bring you into a magical world and make your childhood dreams
come true. Travelling through space, visiting a pirate ship, or
meeting an adorable fairytale or cartoon character are all possible
at Disneyland. As you wander around the fantasy amusement
park, you may see Snow White or Mickey Mouse in a parade or
even on the street. Of course, Disneyland also has many exciting
rides to amuse you, from enormous swinging ships to scary free-
fall drops. If you want to have fun and more than fun, come to
Disneyland!
