Theme Park Guide

No doubt the 2006 season at the theme parks in England will be little different from 2005 in that there will be numerous offers from the theme parks to induce you to attend. The favourite method , particularly from Tussauds, who own Alton Towers, Chessington World of Adventure and Thorpe Park is the 2 for 1 voucher. 2 for 1 vouchers will be popping up everywhere from the Sun newspaper to tins of beans. And of course these appear to be very good news. A free ticket to your favourite theme park! Hey, who can say no to that? Well before you get the scissors out to clip out the vouchers this year, here are a few things to consider before deciding whether 2 for 1 theme park tickets will really save you money.

I was outside my daughter’s school the other day chatting with another parent when the subject of theme parks came up. This family was going to visit Alton Towers, to the obvious excitement of the 7-year son. Mum did not seem so keen. “It’s costing a small fortune “, she groaned, because we have to stay in a hotel overnight. It’s too far to drive there and back in a day”. I asked why they had chosen Alton Towers, since there are other theme parks that are much closer to us in the south of England. “Oh,” came back the reply, “I thought Alton Towers was the only real theme park in England”. It turned out that the trip was basically the idea of the 7-year-old boy, who under pressure not to be left out of the playground hierarchy had pestered them into agreeing to go.

Whenever I hear the word Texas I always think about cowboys and horses running wild. I am sure that many other people think like this as well. However there is another side to this cowboy business and that is the wild and wet world of Texas water parks. These water parks are unique and filled to the brim with rides for everyone. For instance you can visit a place called Adventure Bay in Houston.

The Six Flags group of theme parks is very popular with a lot of people. Unlike many ordinary theme parks you will find that each of the Six Flags theme parks is divided into two totally different parks. For instance there is a great water park to be found in Six Flags St. Louis as well as the national home of Bugs Bunny, this is found in the theme park of Six Flags St. Louis.

There are lots of different theme parks that you can have fun in. Many of them are the same in that you will see rides and attractions that you can go in. With Six Flags New England this theme park visit turns into an adventure that you will always remember. The park is divided into two different sections. There is the normal theme park with land and air based rides. There is also the water park which has many dazzling water rides for you to go on.
