(6x0,25=1,25p)
Disney World's Magic Kingdom is the most popular park in the world.
Located in Orlando, Florida, this expansion of the first Disneyland Park in California, has
become the biggest park in the world. Every year, more than 20 million people visit Magic
Kingdom, to see Cinderella's castle, Space Mountain, and of course, Mickey Mouse and other
beloved Disney characters. Even if you've been there before, there's always something new to
discover at the happiest place on Earth.
Tivoli Gardens is a lush, flowery park that inspired Walt Disney.

An inspiration for Disneyland, this park, situated in Copenhagen, is famous for its fairy-tale
aesthetic. The park, founded in 1843, still has many of his original carousels, bumper cars,
ferris wheels and boat rides, but it has also been updated with new roller coasters like The
Demon, which has three loops and a virtual-reality element. Michael Jackson fell so in love
with the park he attempted to buy it, according to a rumour.
Efteling Park in the Netherlands is the place where fairy tales come to life.
Inspired from ancient legends this theme park has attractions that will amaze and thrill all
ages. Situated in the middle of nature, the Fairytale Forest contains a magic tree, as well as a
dark ride full of unicorns and forest animals that's fun for the whole family, but maybe not for
the young ones. The older ones will line up for Baron 1898, a scream-inducing coaster that
free falls down a mine shaft before circling the park.
Beto Carrero World is an amazing, full of colour landmark of Brazil.

The largest theme park in Latin America, Beto Carrero World is a medieval-inspired
experience that opens with the Castle of Nations, painted like a rainbow. There are classics
like carousels and a great roller coaster called the Firewhip. A partnership with DreamWorks
helped create "Madagascar"-themed shows and rides, and brought to life characters, such as
Shrek and Kung-fu Panda.
