Great rides and well themed. Some rides get very busy!

Slides that push you upwards Scary atmosphere maybe

Fun for the whole family, Good facilities for everyone, Good quality rides and attractions and nearly always good weather to enjoy them! Park situation can be a bit awkward for some

Lots of animals to see Not as time consuming as other Disney Parks
