What's Up?
From mammoth theme parks that have you spinning, to those encased within major entertainment empires like Disney, here's the lowdown on the world's largest theme parks and what makes 'em so bangin'!
What's Cookin'?
- Walt Disney World Resort

- Attractions? Four theme parks (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, Disney's Animal Kingdom), two water parks, and a whole heap of resort hotels.

Numbers Game
- The biggest theme parks are often labeled champions by visit numbers and size. Disney's parks keep topping these lists due to their ginormous size and magnetic pull.
- Disney? They've got the largest Disney theme park glued to Florida. Others worth mentioning? Disneyland Resort in Cali, Disneyland Paris, and Hong Kong Disneyland.
Non-Disney Faves
- Cedar Point and Six Flags Magic Mountain aren't Disney, but these fiends aren't to be underestimated! They carry the Cedar Fair and Six Flags flags, respectively, and are famous for their rollercoaster collections**.
On the off chance you feel lost amid the fun, keep this in mind - Disney's parks are the biggest, but when it comes to rollercoasters, you don't want to miss Cedar Point and Six Flags Magic Mountain. Enjoy the ride!
I'm not going to tell you that Disney's parks are the only ones to visit, as there are other spectacular outdoor-living attractions like Cedar Point and Six Flags Magic Mountain that focus on home-and-garden-style roller coasters, making them must-sees for any theme park enthusiast.
