Top 10 European Theme Parks

Europe is home to over 750 million people. With more than 800 theme parks for them to choose from, Europeans have a variety of options when it comes to thrill seeking. Many of these parks feature a huge collection of rides and roller coasters, unique from country to country. In fact, Europe is home to some of the world’s oldest continuously operating theme parks, many of which opened over 100 years ago! In the years since, hundreds of new parks have opened to the public, each one offering new attractions, expanding in size, and attracting an ever increasing number of guests. But which are the top 10 most popular theme parks in Europe, today?

Sad that phantasialand doesn’t get the love it deserves!

[joelies]

such a shame that phantasialand isnt on here, it's at least top 3 in quality.
But i guess the general public doesn't know.

[coasterhockygamingboy]

2:24 it’s also the number 1 coaster in the world

[paggasnaan]

Phantasialand should be on this list, i guess this list is based on visitors. So Phantasialand doesn't publish those but it is more than 1 million for sure. It is a Beautiful parc.

[lwillis]

I have been to none of these parks. I am in the states but I would love to visit any one of these!🙂🙂💯💯

[Anon-svee]

I visited them all. All great but Disneyland, Efteling and Phantasialand were my absolute favourites. Best overall experience

[coasterdaddy]

Awesome video Harry! I learned a lot about these parks.

[TheDutchRevolution]

I've been to Walt Disney Studios, de Efteling and Disneyland park. I can safely say that the Efteling is the best out of these. Walt Disney Studios was a huge disappointment. I've been there last winter and there were like 5 rides open. Rock 'n rollercoaster was closed because they're changing it to Avengers stuff. Really a shame.

[coasterhockygamingboy]

2:40 yeah coz legoland windsor is the best theme park in the world. They got DUPLO Dino Coaster. No other parks in the UK got a chance

[mennograafmans]

Efteling is my homepark. It's really something else. The enviromental restrictions might sound like a hindrance, but it allows it to be a beautifull green park. The theming is amazing. It all just works so well.

The only thing it's lacking in is thrilling coasters. It's a familypark, so it will allways focus on darkrides and flatrides, and the coasters they do have are amongst the best decorated in the world. But the rides themselves are not special. If they could get 2 worldclass coasters in there, it would belong on any top 10 parcs in the world lists.

PortAventura is probably my favourite on this list despite the poor operations at the park. The ride collection they've got there is too good. The areas are amazingly well themed too. Spent a week at the resort last year and I wasn't bored for even a second.

[RobbieWienk]

Well i'm happy with it, that my favorite national park De Efteling is on the third place and my other favorite Europa Park stand on the second place :)
Nice video

[juliensmit]

I have been to 9 of these 10 and the last one « Liseberg » was planned for this spring before the covid-19 ^^. Disneyland, Efteling are my favorites along side with Phantasialand which is unfortunately not in the top 10.

[PaddletailPhilly]

Why does Europe have such beautiful theme parks?
More importantly, why is Europe so beautiful?

[leonpennings]

Visited de Efteling, Disneyland Paris and Disney Studios Paris, Parc Astérix and Port Aventura. Also the not listed Phantasialand and Movie Park Germany. Yes, (western) Europe is truly stacked with great theme parks!

[PendelSteven]

For anyone sad about Phantasialand, Alton Towers or Legoland Billund: the top 11-20 of last year was from 20 to 11: Chessington, Heidepark, Legoland Germany, Thorpe, Futuroscope, Legoland Billund, Phantasialand, Alton Tower, Parque Warner & Puy du Fou. The top 14 had more than 2 million visitors, and from Thorpe more than 1, 9 million still. So roughly the "top 15" had more than 2 million visitors.

[zoelunau]

I've been to Legoland Billund in June 2017 with my grandpa's camper van for two days. I wasn't into coasters at the time, since i was 10 but i really liked the park. Polar explorer is my favorite family coaster especially the ending when i thought we would go backwords but it was a drop track which was unexpected. The haunted house was great and me not knowing that there was a drop ride at the end which was good

[mischiefmanaged]

An interesting list. I’ve only done 3 of these but have most of the others on my bucket list.

[Miquelperez]

Port Aventura had 5.2 million in 2019... 5 in 2018 and 4.7 in 2017

[camikelly]

Nice list. I was surprised to see Legoland on the list. Although it wasn’t on this list, Alton Towers is my number one bucket list European theme park. Hopefully I’ll get to go there someday.
