- What makes a theme park good? Is it the rides, the theming, the uniqueness or a combination of all of those factors? Why are European theme parks so good? Let’s explore that on this episode of ReviewTyme.

Hey friends. I’m Dom, the writer and producer of the video. I want to apologise for two glaring mistakes in this video. The first is that I refer to Europe as not being part of the western world. The second is mentioning that Phantasialand is in rural Germany. Both of these are frankly not true. I’m sorry for any confusion caused by them and thank all the people who have taken the time to correct me in the comments. My intention for this video was to showcase the amazing theme parks found across Europe. I hope that with these two comments omitted that I’ve still managed to pull that off!
Wait, did you contrast "the western world" and "europe" as if they were separate things? That's an interesting take.
„In the middle of nowhere“ isn’t exactly how I‘d describe „on the outskirts of Germany‘s 4th largest city and adjacent to a metropolitan area with more than 10 million inhabitants“
Skipped this video when he said Europe isn't part of the western world, jeez 🤔
Do Americans think that Europe is not part of the west?
Western world is Europe what are you even talking about ????
Hate to nitpick mate but you keep referencing the western world, like the US is the western world. Last time I checked,the Majority of Europe, including Poland and Germany, are considered the western world ;)
This video truly is US centrism embodied, lol. First the comments about Europe not belonging to the West, then claiming that Phantasialand is in rural Germany…
“For most people, Europe is really really far away” 💀💀 what?
funny to refer to the US as western world and excluding Europe from it. To us we are the western world and the US is frontier land ^^
You missed one thing: we get thing called "Winter" here meaning most (if not all) our parks are seasonal, open only 6 months per year and that impacts attendance. I'm honestly impressed our parks are growing that fast with only half year of operation time.
From personal experience, theme parks are seen as a lesser form of holiday destination in Europe; going as far as "you're in this country/region, and you want to waste a day on a freaking theme park?" types of conversations (I've had that conversation many times, and have had to visit amazing parks by myself because my traveling companions weren't interested). With the exception of Disneyland and maybe Europa Park, you don't really go out of your way to visit a theme park which for the most part locks you to ones you can drive to, visit and drive back home from on the same day.
Re: the argument that Europeans live closer to many theme parks and that most of them are just a cheap flight away…
Fantastic video, you nailed a lot of things!
So refreshing to see the European parks getting the limelight they deserve! 🤍
Europe: Crafts beautifully decorated roller coasters with fully realized storylines and theming contained to the ride itself.
Great video, but I wouldn't say Phantasialand is in 'rural Germany' lol
Very great topic. I’m from the USA but seeing European park vlogs on CZcams I notice that their local parks care a lot more about theming then the USA local parks. They include bonus rides like dark rides or mad houses, indoor attractions with stories and that is cool!
From what I've seen of them on CZcams, I can definitely say theme parks in Europe add to the continent's aforementioned man-made beauty.
I would argue, a strong factor are building requirements. No theme Park is allowed to build whatever they want, they have a list of restrictions. It could be noise or height restriction. The reason why Phantasiland and Alton Towers first dig a hole before building a Coaster is exactly that. Phantasialand is located next to neighborhoods and a wildlife protected area, so everything they do has to get a permission, and Noise is a HUGE Factor. All the theming around F.L.Y or Taron is a "hidden" noise barrier.
