First, it was the Sea Lion Park, opened at Coney Island in Brooklyn, New York in 1895. Then came the Steeplechase Park, opened 1897. These were followed by hundreds and thousands of themed amusuement parks all over the world, which gave a new direction to family fun and entertainment.
In 1927, Steeplechase introduced the groundbreaking Cyclone roller coaster, marking the beginning of the roller coaster, which still is the most popular off all features packed in a modern amusement park. But hey! Hang a moment! I'm not going to trace the history of amusement parks... I simply want to list down the hippest amusement parks in the world:
10. Huis Ten Bosch, Japan
9. Coney Island (Astroland Amusement Park), New York
8. Parc Asterix, France
7. Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Virginia
6. Cedar Point, Ohio
5. Kennywood, Pennsylvania
4. Tivoliland, Denmark
3. Blackpool Pleasure Beach, England
2. Universal Studios Orlando, Florida
and the coveted NUMBER ONE SPOT goes to
The Six Flags Magic Mountain, California
It's not a random pick, but a carefully selected list based on facilities available and the number of visitors attracted by each of these parks.
