14:38up with them yourself. Whether you're in your youth or just want to relive it, this is the place to go.
14:435. Tokyo Disney Sea
14:51It may just seem like another variant of the American classic, but there's so much more than meets the
14:57eye. Tokyo Disney Sea is unlike any variants you may have visited before. Opened in 2001,
15:03its nautical theme alone is enough to set it apart from its contemporaries, and that's only scratching
15:09the surface. They have a perfect fusion of reality and fiction. Guests can walk in the beautifully
15:23reimagined streets of Venice one minute and find themselves in the simulated underwater lagoon the
15:28next. The attractions are somehow even more immersive, with some allowing patrons to walk
15:33through and create adventures of their own. Guests either took a journey to the center of the earth,
15:39or submerged themselves 20,000 leagues under the sea. It may have cost billions to create,
15:46but each day, it proves that it was worth every last cent.
15:504. Six Flags Magic Mountain
15:53Calling all rollercoaster aficionados, this is the place for you!

16:16coaster reaching up to 100 miles per hour and another being the world's first fourth-dimensional
16:21variant, they've become some of the greatest innovators in the industry. For a slightly less
16:27intense experience, Six Flags Great Adventure has a wide variety of slightly calmer attractions that are
16:32fun for everybody of any thrill level. 3. Cedar Point
16:38You know a theme park is going to be good when all of their attractions come with a tested thrill level.
16:49Even those on the lower end of the scale at Cedar Point are still guaranteed to be a good time.
16:55It first opened in 1870, making it one of the oldest in the game. In this case, age is just a number,
17:02and its advanced years have only meant they've had ample time to perfect their craft. Their
17:07coasters alone are teeming with inversions, sharp drops, and unbelievably fast speeds,
17:13making it the perfect getaway for anyone seeking a rush.
17:16Next, you soar into the clouds as the coaster catapults you into a zero-g parabolic hill.
17:24Beyond that, it's also an incredible historic site, allowing visitors to learn and have fun all at once.
17:302. Universal Islands of Adventure
17:34Why limit yourself to watching your favorite movies when you could just join them instead?

17:43they can do the next best thing.
17:49Opened in Florida in 1999, each hub in the park is dedicated to recreating several fan-favorite
17:55properties. Visitors can create their own stories within these hubs, whether it's saving the wizarding
18:01world of Harry Potter or helping their favorite heroes from Marvel Comics. Simply follow the call

18:41In some ways, it's become the face of the brand, and it's clear to see why.
18:46When one thinks of Disney, there's a good chance they automatically think of Magic Kingdom.
18:58All it takes is entering and seeing that gorgeous castle welcoming visitors from around the globe.
19:04Since opening in 1971, it's become home to a host of fan-favorite rides,
19:09shows, and delicious mouse-shaped cuisine, some of which have stuck with guests for decades.
19:14Not to mention, it's hard to name a more enchanting experience than getting to meet iconic characters
19:20like Mickey and his gang of friends. Just one day here is all you'll need to understand why it's the
19:25most magical place on Earth. Because after about 18 months of construction, Walt Disney's dream castle
19:31was complete. And the crowning jewel of the new Walt Disney World was without rival.
