THEME PARKS – FUN AND MORE THAN FUN |
Disneyland will bring you into a magic world |
Dollywood, in the beautiful Smoky Mountains in the southeastern USA. Although Dollywood has rides, the park’s main attraction（吸引力） is its culture. You can even take a ride on the only steam-engine train still working in the southeast USA. Come to Dollywood to have fun learning all about America’s historical southeast culture! |
If you want to experience the ancient days, England’s Camelot Park is the place for you. Every area of the park is modeled after life in the days of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. To enter a world of ancient England, come to Camelot Park! |
Some theme parks are not only for fun but also educational. Take the Polynesian Cultural Center(PCC) in Hawaii as an example. It not only shows visitors the Polynesian way of life but also protects their skills and culture for the future. |
