America has some of the world’s best theme parks. Every kid grows up wanting to go to Disney, but there are plenty of other great amusement parks in the US.
Hersheypark, Pennsylvania
What’s better than chocolate and theme parks together? Head to Hersheypark to get the best of both worlds. You’ll have a front-row seat on their chocolate factory tour, as well as ride their 14 roller coasters (过山车) from mild to wild. They even have a zoo.
Address: 100 Hersheypark Dr, Hershey, PA 1703
Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio
You can’t call yourself a theme park expert without visiting the second oldest park in the country. This is your daddy’s theme park, and probably your grandpa’s, but that doesn’t mean it is short on thrills. You’ll find no shortage of roller coasters; there are sixteen altogether. The coasters are plentiful, and so is the view, giving you a great look over the beautiful Lake Erie.

Knoebels, Pennsylvania
If you happen to be in Pennsylvania, make a visit to this one. You’ve got nothing to lose, as this one is free. That’s the way Knoebels has been doing business for nearly a century. They have two roller coasters and over 60 rides in total, so they are free not because there is a lack of attractions. They know they’ll get plenty of support through concessions (特许权) and amazing word-of-mouth advertising.
Address: 391 Knoebels Blvd, Elysburg, PA 17824
Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, Florida
Florida is the tourist capital of the country. Universal’s theme parks match Disney in some aspects. There are twelve exciting roller coasters here. Fly through the air like a super hero or a dragon in the different movie worlds of Jurassic Park, Harry Potter, or Dr. Seuss. Let your imagination run wild!
Address: 6000 Universal Blvd, Orlando, FL 32819
