Theme
Theme parks are where you find rollercoasters
and rides. They are very popular in the USA. There
are more than 300 theme parks there, and they are all
very friendly places with a lot of exciting things to do.
The first big American theme park was Disneyland. It opened in 1955 in
California and people loved it, especially families with children.
Americans wanted more, and so the number of theme parks in the country grew.
Walt Disney World in Florida had its first visitors in 1971. It is still open today and it is very
successful. In 2013, more than eighteen million people visited the Magic Kingdom there.
The rides at modern American theme parks are faster and more exciting than in the past
– but they are very safe. The bravest people can go on the ‘thrill rides’ – these are scary
rides that use a lot of expensive technology. There are also family rides and water rides.
These rides are great for children.
Theme parks have got a lot to offer – more than just rides and rollercoasters. There are
also shops, cafés, restaurants, shows and concerts. Families sometimes have
a holiday at a theme park and stay in a hotel there.
