A non obvious topic, but which amusement parks do you recommend rather than Disneyland?

      I heard good things about this park, but didn’t have time to visit when I was close by :(

      Was it super crowded? I heard that it is really popular but someone said it’s quite big so crowds are not a problem?

        You can expect to wait an hour for a coaster on full days… But it helps to go early in the morning. And ride less popular coasters. Also in the evening, I remember riding silver star with 10 minutes queue time.

          Okay then would have to treat it as a really crowded park and have planned it so (like you said, early mornings and evenings). Thanks for the info, will make it more enjoyable once I get to go!

      Is this the park somewhat close to Cologne (Köln)? I ended up there once by accident while backpacking and took basically a random Flixbus. Looked nice indeed!

      (I don’t recommend taking random Flixbuses for amusement)

      Liseberg is pretty good. Grönalund in Stockholm is also good. The two parks have a very different vibe. Liseberg is a big park with the rides more spaced out while grönalund is a small space with the rides literally overlapping with each other.

    Parc Astérix, especially if you like rollercoasters. There are fast pass bundle options for a lot of the main rides as well. Halloween is also a great time to go, they have a bunch of great haunted houses and the park is open after hours.

    Italy has Gardaland on lake Garda. Quite fun and you can visit the beautiful area afterwards.
