Theme parks have always been synonymous with family vacations, but they promise thrills to adventurers of all ages. From summer vacations to birthday celebrations to bridal showers and honeymoons, many unforgettable life moments are celebrated with roller coaster rides and make-believe characters. Disney even has a wedding website to help couples design their ceremonies at the parks with all the frills.

But a holiday at the theme park has become insanely expensive. In the last 50 years, Disney has raised prices of its theme parks more than 3,871%, so happiness does come at a price. The U.S., in fact, has nine of the 10 most expensive theme parks in the world according to a report by The Family Vacation Guide. The study looked at 36 major theme parks around the world and compared their ticket prices and price per ride.
Interestingly, Disney didn’t take the crown as the most expensive park. Another fascinating revelation is that none in the U.S. made it to the list of the cheapest parks that the study also published.
