I know three of them, the first is the Vienna Prater the European park and the Garda . I know Legoland in Günzburg.
The difference between the Viennese Prater and the other listed parks is, for example, that the Prater has always been part of the city area (i.e. no entrance and access at any time). This is probably also the reason that the individual attractions appear to be rather expensive, as there is no flat price for everything. It is historically so.
In the course of a world exhibition in Vienna opened in 1873, it consists of the “green Prater”, a recreation area with forests, meadows, waters and paths, mainly traffic calmed and recreation area. (Lat. “pratum”= Wiese.), and the so-called “Wurstelprater” the amusement park, with all possible attractions. You look at the video.
There is an old rollercoaster, which “High-speed train” means. This is the reason why many Viennese general roller coasters are mistaken but unconsciously referred to as “highway” ðŸ ̃‰. This is already quite old, is one of the cozy roller coasters, so without it really raising the stomach while driving down, also rattling when pulling up the car. It is also rebuilt there zb Heiligenblut in Carinthia near the Großglockner (2:50-2:55). She also becomes “dwarf runway” because at the end there are 2 dwarves, which, if you don’t care and buzz yourself in time, an injection (2:35-2:39).

In 2008, on the occasion of the European Football Championship in Ö and CH, where the Viennese Praterstadion = Ernst Happel Stadium is also located, the entrance area was redesigned (visible in the main video at about 0:18). It wasn’t there before. There is also a wax figure cabinet since then.
You can also go to the so-called “Schweizerhaus”, a well-known beer – and celebration venue.
In European park we were 2 times, and both times I liked it very well. Very varied, beautiful flair and many countries are represented there.
Legolandthat was often a dream for me as a child, to go there. In the past, Denmark was the only one. This visit never occurred. So we only later visited the Legoland in Bavaria, Günzburg with our daughter. If you liked to play Lego as a child and also did your own child, it’s worth seeing what’s being built there. There I had a fun experience: There is a view tower where you can go up and have an overview of the whole area. I heard two kids talk about how far you can see from there. One said, “Very far. I have heard, even until the Port of Hamburg!! “Yes, that would have been far, only the child snapped it up because probably someone meant the rebuilt version there and talked about it 😁
In Garda we were once, on the occasion of a Lake Garda holiday, at about the same time, and I also found that very nice.
In the summer, together with my girlfriend under the Poseidon shower in jeans and t-shirt will get completely wet, the ultimate experience
None.
I was already in the Europa Park, but that’s the only one.
I don’t like parks like that.
They are usually overpriced and the fun factor keeps within my limits.

Hello, MervanGrande, hello SANY.
I know the Europapark in Rust, and Disneyland in Paris.
Both not comparable but beautiful….
The most beautiful amusement park I’ve ever visited was the Disneyland in Anaheim.
As yet: Disneyland Anaheim is in California, but is the most beautiful amusement park I have ever seen.
Greetings, Renate.
Not yet. I just don’t care about such parks.
Just great. We’ve been a few times.
Even more beautiful than the Wr. Wurstelprater is the “Böhmische Prater” in Vienna.
Yeah, I can confirm that. This is considerably smaller, but it is also in a very green area and there is a nice atmosphere. Since we had relatives there in my childhood, I was often there as a child.
“Ziaglbe(ö)hm.”
Less nepp, at least thirty years ago; at the “Wrschtlprater” are the Auen, the huge park, for me much more interesting than rides, Pommes and Kebabbuden.
Yes, I do. The Prater has much more than what he is known for. Throughout the Danube Island and Lobau with a lot of green, you can cycle well.
Yes, that’s exactly what you’re saying.
Of those I’ve been to the European Park. Only the variety of thematic drives and the technical concepts, the topicalization and decoration are incredible! Only for the Halloween season the park has been extremely neglected for the last 5 years, with the gastro it finally goes up again!
Closely followed by Disneyland Paris, for the same reasons. One plus point is the longer opening hours, but the park has two thick minusses: the entrance fee (again even the European Park is a bargain) and the eternal maintenance work. What the Europa-Park does within the not quite 3 months (renovating, repairing and co.) always needs at least one whole year in Disneyland, so at least one main attraction is closed throughout.
I’ve never been in the Efteling, but I think he should be at the same level.
