Not in one of the countries you name, but I like the Efteling, in Kaatsheuvel, Netherlands, which has been nominated the &quot;best theme park in the world&quot; twice. <BR>www.efteling.nl

I've always wondered about the &quot;Asterix &amp; Obelisk&quot; theme park outside of Paris. It's based on the famous comicbook duo. Anyone every been there?

Parc Asterix is comparable to a Kings Island or Cedar Point - - well, kinda - - to a true roller coaster enthusiast, thee's hardly anywhere comparable to Cedar Point.<BR><BR>Best wisihes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>

Why go to Europe for a theme park? Europe is expensive and rich in history. Wouldn't it be better to find a theme park closer to home...unless you live in Europe.

Asterix is a water park not open in winter.<BR>Efteling is nicer than Disney Paris. You also have La Villete in Paris - science city - a whole day science activities for children but you must start early or you won't see it all. Futuroscope in France but I haven't been there, check on the net.

Alton Towers is the best in UK but not too close to LONDON if you are hwading there
