THEME①PARKS - FUN AND MORE THAN FUN
Which theme park would you like to visit? There are various kinds of② theme parks, with a different park for almost everything: food, culture, science, cartoons③, movies or history. Some parks are famous for④ having the biggest or longest roller coasters⑤, others for showing the famous sights and sounds of a culture. Whichever⑥ and whatever you like, there is a theme park for you!
The theme park you are probably most familiar with⑦ is Disneyland. It can be found in several parts of the world. It will bring you into a magical world and make your dreams come true⑧, whether you are travelling through space, visiting a pirate⑨ ship or meeting your favourite fairy tale⑩ or Disney cartoon character. As you wander around the fantasy⑪ amusement⑫ park, you may see Snow White or Mickey Mouse in a parade or on the street. Of course Disneyland also has many exciting rides, from giant swinging⑬ ships to terrifying freefall drops. With all these attractions⑭, no wonder⑮ tourism⑯ is increasing wherever⑰ there is a Disneyland. If you want to have fun and more than fun, come to Disneyland!
