By Thomas PlummerPosted on Posted in Travel

Whoever has been to an amusement park will certainly want to go back one day. And whoever has had the opportunity to live this experience abroad would not even want to get on the return flight. There are so many attractions in one place that you get lost, so imagine a list with ten parks...

Users of TripAdvisor, a famous tourism website, helped to evaluate through votes and comments the best amusement parks in the world. Check out the ranking, with a park in Brazil among the tops.

10th - Animal Kingdom, United States

Animal Kingdom is located at Walt Disney World and is one of the resort's four theme parks, which is located in Florida. It was opened in 1998 and is open all year round. Highlights include the Tree of Life, a 44 x 15 m artificial tree that is the park's icon.

9th - PortAventura, Spain

PortAventura is located in the city of Salou, an hour away from Barcelona. The park celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2015 and is divided into five locations, which are intended to simulate different places in the world: Mediterranea, Polynesia, Far West, Mexico and China.

8th - Universal Studios, Singapore

Officially opened in 2011, Universal Studios Singapore is today one of the leading parks not only in Asia, but in the world. The main attractions are Waterworld, the Jurassic Park territories, and a section called Sci-Fi, with Transformers and Battlestar Galactica toys.

7th - Disneyland Park, United States

The oldest park of the Disneyland Resort (not to be confused with the one in Florida), Disneyland Park - named precisely to differentiate the complex - is located in Anaheim, in the Los Angeles region. It was opened in 1955 and to this day is the delight of children and adults who visit the site. Sleeping Beauty's castle is located there.

6th - Beto Carrero World, Brazil

The sixth representative of the list is Brazilian and is located in Penha, in the state of Santa Catarina. The creator of the park, after whom the place is named, passed away in 2008, but left as a legacy the largest theme park in Latin America and the entertainment of more than ten million people since its inauguration, in 1991.

5th - Disney's Hollywood Studios, United States

The third of the four Walt Disney Resort parks, Hollywood Studios is dedicated to the world of entertainment and its décor is inspired by the Hollywood of the 1930s and 1940s. Some attractions stand out, such as live shows, the Aerosmith roller coaster, a Pixar wing, the Tower of Terror, and others.

4th - Magic Kingdom, United States

The first park in Walt Disney World in Florida, the Magic Kingdom is perhaps the most popular park in the world. The image of Cinderella's castle has inhabited the imagination of children and teenagers for decades, with many of them dreaming of one day seeing it up close.

Opened in 1999, Universal's Island of Adventure is a true dive into adventure, as the name implies. There are seven islands scattered throughout the park with various attractions, including a Harry Potter-themed island (the seventh, opened in 2010), with a faithful replica of Hogwarts Castle.
