But the big news for Brits? Four UK parks made the cut – three of them ranking in the global top ten.
- The Web Adventure Park, near York (No. 7): A family-friendly spot with indoor and outdoor play areas, fairground rides, and actual goats. Less thrill, more wholesome.
- Paultons Park, Hampshire (No. 8): Best known as the home of Peppa Pig World, but also features proper rollercoasters, botanical gardens, and something for every age group.
- Drayton Manor, Staffordshire (No. 9): Includes Thomas Land, a zoo, lakeside lodges, and a hotel – plus plenty of scream-worthy rides.
- The Milky Way, Devon (No. 17): A charming, retro-leaning park that promises fun for visitors “aged 0–99”, with indoor dodgems, soft play, and even archery.
