Are the Disney Parks the best theme parks in the world?

Question

I was watching by google earth, and they don't look so big and with many roller coasters, not like for example any Six Flags Park, so What do you think?

Answer 1

No way. I've been to Disney land, and it's just way too crowded. You can never do anything because of the lines. I would recommend Universal Studios, its more fun and has less people.

Answer 2

There is no "best" theme park in the world, because everyone has a different opinion.
My personal favorite theme parks are the Disney parks, because they have a variety of rides, all of which have excellent theming, as well as great shows. Disney focuses a lot on the atmosphere of their parks, and not just the rides, which sets them apart from other theme parks, like Six Flags.
If big roller coasters and thrills are what you enjoy most, then Disney parks probably aren't going to be considered the best parks to you. The "best" theme park in the world really just depends on what you find enjoyable. For me, the best are the Disney parks (especially Disneyland), but for others, the best might be Six Flags parks.
But I do enjoy Six Flags (and roller coasters), just not quite as much as Disney. =]

Answer 3

Disney is the cleanest park we've been to. We've been to Disney World several times and Disneyland once several years ago. With the Disney park hopper ticket you get more roller coasters. You will have too much to do in just one day! Kings Dominion and Six Flags, Hershey Park are just OK when it comes to rides and other attractions. We've done all the rides in these parks and had time to do some again. The other parks may have more coasters but the other things that you can do (just as cool as coasters) just aren't there. (ie Mission to Mars, not a coaster but just as fun!) We are looking forward to checking out Cedar Point this summer, It may just be the cooler (temperature) option we're looking for. Keep Having Fun! =)

Answer 4

It depends on what you judge the theme park experience by:
If you want the "family" atmosphere, and you enjoy the firework shows and other nightly events, the Disney Parks are the place.
If you're more interested in the roller coasters, and the thrills of the rides, Six Flags parks beat out the Disney Parks by a mile. Disneyland might have 2-4 rollercoasters/more extreme rides, whereas Magic Mountain has at least 8-10.

Answer 5

It depends on what you are going to the parks for. If you are going to Disney for thrill rides, I would say no. While many of the rides are just as good or not better than any other thrill rides (such as the Tower of Terror and Aeorsmith roller coaster), most people such as myself don't go there for thrill rides.

If you are talking about overall experience and customer service, then the answer is a resounding YES. Disney prides itself on the guest services it offers, the safety and cleanliness of their parks, and the fact that there is something for all age levels. No other parks in the country can say that. Most of them, such as Six Flags, Universal, and Cedar Point are roller coaster parks, however there is not much to do for the smaller guests. Disney has a little something for everyone, that is what makes their parks great.

Answer 6

They are NOT the best theme parks in the world. They are family oriented parks that are geared towards a crowd of people about 13 and under with just a few thrill rides mixed in for the older crowd. What Disney does is put a TON of scenery in their rides which usually costs more than the ride itself, with all the scenery they usually don't pay much attention to the thrill aspect of a ride but rather the "atmosphere" of the ride itself. Disney World is the largest amusement park complex in the world though. But the best amusement park in the world is Cedar Point, it has been voted that for 9 years now by Amusement Today. It's also my favorite park, and it makes Disney look boring.

Answer 7

It's really a matter of opinion. The Disney parks are great for families, but they also have lots of attractions for more mature visitors. Having been to Disney many times, I can assure you that the parks are big enough to keep you occupied for a week or even more. If you go there, you should try to spend a full day in each park (Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and MGM Studios) You should check out some tourist books and see what interests you.

Answer 8

First, you don't go to Disney for roller coasters. They have them, to be sure, but this is not a thrill park. If you just want to ride thrill rides, skip Disney. If you want a high quality vacation with a variety of experiences, Disney is quite good.

Disney World, in Florida, is huge. There are 4 parks there. It's impossible, even with no lines, to see everything in a park in a day. Most people need 4 days to see the 4 parks. And, at that, you're seeing only 1/4-1/2 of everything.

California has 2 parks. They are smaller than Florida. But, still, it'll take a day per park to see a portion of it.

My opinion: WDW is the best theme park out there, bar none. However, I like the fact that it's not all coasters.

Answer 9

Disney is the best in several arenas. They excell at Guest satisfaction and customer service. They also have the cleanest parks around! While they may not have many thrill rides (however the ones they have are amazing), they make up for it in quality entertainment, food and shopping experiences. I agree that 6 Flags has amazing coasters, but I will never step foot in that park again. I tried to visit a few times a few years ago and was disgusted. The employees were rude and not trained, trash was everywhere, and the food was horrible. In my opinion, excellent service and cleanliness trumps a great ride. Especially if you have to wait 5-6 hours for one (Like I did at 6 Flags once).

The only other park that even holds a candle to Disney is Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, CA or Islands of Adventure in Orlando, Fla.

Answer 10

No. Everybody thinks it is the best place to go. The reason why is because it is famous. There are a bunch of theme parks that are wonderful.
My favorite theme park is Santa Cruse Beach Board Walk (if you want to go there, go at night, bundle up in a bunch of sweaters)you should go at night because not many people are there and you there are short lines.

Answer 11

Disney by far is has more sideshows than any other place there is. Also the have a whole bunch of hotels so you don't have to leave the fun at the end of the day.
