Featured Park: Disneyland (Anaheim, USA)

When people think of Disney, many people seem to think of Florida. Personally, I prefer the original park in Anaheim.

Despite the smaller scale than subsequent parks, Disneyland has a lot of character. It packs so many world class of rides into a comparatively small space, many of which are as good as, or better than their counterparts on the east coast.

Featured Park: Kolmården Wildlife Park (Kolmården, Sweden)

Kolmården is an enormous Zoo, located on a hill next to a sea inlet of the Baltic.

Coaster fanatics visit to ride Wildfire, the RMC wooden coaster, and for the extra "creds". They stay for the animal exhibits, as the zoo is absolutely amazing.

The animals here loads of space, and around half the zoo is viewed from above via. gondola.

The downside to taking photos at Theme Parks is that I'm usually trying to take photographs of things and/or people in motion. That means I'm always using burst mode on my cameras.

I really like some of the pictures I get as a result, and it's great to be able to look back and remember those moments in the future, but it always takes me ages to figure out which photos to keep afterwards.

I always feel like it's worth it, though!

Featured Park: Toverland (Sevenum, Netherlands)

Once an indoor park for young families, modern Toverland has grown enormously, and caters for all ages.

There's Troy, one of the best wooden coasters in Europe, Fenix, an absolutely beautiful wing coaster, and plenty of other quirky rides and attractions. The rides and areas are all beautifully presented, down to the colours of the electrical sockets.

Visiting Theme Parks can provide so many opportunities for taking interesting photographs.

Whenever I take my camera to a park, I seem to come away with a real mixture of photos that incorporate many other photography genres. A lot of my pictures end up with elements of street, candid, action, and landscape photography. Sometimes there are even elements of environmental portraiture in there as well.

Featured Park: Phantasialand (Bruhl, Germany)

It's compact. It's immaculately themed. It's crammed full of incredible rides. It's also family owned.

Phantasialand is easily one of my favourite parks in the world right now. Taron is the flagship coaster, but nearly everything is worth a ride, water, dark rides, and mystery castle especially.

Seriously, spend two days here and ride everything.

Featured Park: Plopsaland De Panne (De Panne, Belgium)

Plopsaland is a beautifully themed, family friendly park. Most rides are based around children's TV shows produced by parent company Studio 100.

Many rides are fun, but the extreme spinning coaster, Ride to Happiness, is a game changer. It's a unique ride experience, and IMO is one of the best rollercoasters in the world right now.

Featured Park: Efteling (Tilburg, Netherlands)

Efteling is a place of fairy tales, of the Brothers Grimm variety. It's a place of wonder, magic, ghost stories, cursed bandits, the Flying Dutchman, amazing pancakes, and talking bins.

There's a decent coaster line-up, but the park's true value is in the quirky side attractions, and top tier dark rides, including the trackless flagship, Symbolica.
