32. Animal Kingdom ( Florida, USA )


Disney World's 4th and newest theme park opened in April 1998, joining the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Disney-MGM Studios (now called Hollywood Studios). 



Whilst the animals are the main attraction at the Animal Kingdom, they are in competition with some of the parks modern rides, such as Expedition Everest. Towering 200 feet over the surrounding terrain, this mini-mountain is visible from some distance away and even threatens to overtake the Tree of Life as the park's most visible icon. The Tree, perhaps by contrast, is most impressive up close, where its size and detail can truly be appreciated. The other major rides and attractions include It's Tough to be a Bug, a 3-D movie based on the Pixar film A Bug's LifeKilimanjaro Safaris, a jeep ride through the recreated African savanna; Kali River Rapids, a soaking raft ride; and Dinosaur, a time travel ride into the late Cretaceous. For the youngest visitors, Camp Minnie-Mickey is a special space where they can meet their favorite characters. 

Not far from Animal Kingdom is Blizzard Beach, a large water park themed as a melting ski resort.
