*Information subject to change
I went with a group to this park, which highlights animated movies like How to Train Your Dragon and Shrek. As much as I like animated movies, I was worried the rides would be a bit too soft.
Actually, it was pretty good. Sure, it is not Europa-Park in Germany, but both kids and adults can have a fun time. Plus, the sets are really well done!
Another plus: just like at IMG Worlds, there is basically no wait for the rides!
