There's no doubt that here in the United Kingdom, we have our fair share of amusement parks and fairgrounds which run and operate the whole year-round. But when it comes to amusement parks and funfairs and carnivals, there's nothing quite like what our neighbours across the pond, the United States, has to offer. The US has some of the most famous amusement parks in the world, and Disney World in Orlando is just the tip of the iceberg. It seems that every town and county in the United States has its own theme park to boast of, and if you are planning a holiday to the United States with your family in the future, you may want to check out these amusement and theme parks as well. Here are some of the most unforgettable funfair rides and amusement park attractions in the United States.
Splash Mountain in Walt Disney World, Florida
Walt Disney World certainly has a lot to offer in terms of rides and attractions compared to most – if not all – other theme parks in the United States, but nothing beats going on Splash Mountain. The roller coaster ride starts as a simple and leisurely float along a river on a raft, and it takes you through different scenes from the Bre’r Rabbit tale – but at the end, you are soaked in thousands of gallons of water as you plunge into the watery depths of the ride’s culmination.
Superman: Ride of Steel in Six Flags New England in Massachusetts
The Ride of Steel speaks for itself as it features one of the steepest roller coasters inclines you will ever find with a drop of 221 feet, and this is one of the first things that makes an impact on the viewers as they see the ride for the first time. The ride also features a complete series of zero-gravity whirls and plunges, which can make you feel like you are flying – just like Superman, of course.
The X-Scream in the Stratosphere Hotel and Casino, Nevada
Where else but Las Vegas do you get to try your luck on the gambling tables while also enjoying a fantastic thrill ride? The X-Scream in the Stratosphere Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas is found 866 feet up in the air, and users will need to strap themselves into their seats at the top of the tower prior to being dangled over the tower’s side. But the ride’s end is even more fantastic as riders are given a ‘twist’ that can really feel like their heart is plummeting to the ground.
The Master Blaster in Schlitterbahn Waterpark Resort in Texas
What do you get when you cross a roller coaster with a water slide? The Master Blaster in this brilliant water park and resort in Texas. Riders get to enjoy the ride on inflatable rafts, and they are then propelled by tonnes of gushing water uphill. The ride offers a lot of steep, thrilling drops, and with more than a thousand feet for the entire ride, it's no wonder the Master Blaster is a must-try.
These are just some of the most unforgettable attractions in the United States, but if you want to enjoy your own fun and games in a fairground and funfair, you can easily do so here in the UK. Our funfair rides for hire can give you the excitement you are seeking for your event, and you don’t have to travel thousands of kilometres to get that brilliant adrenaline rush.
