In addition, at Six Flags, you can visit the Superman Slide, the Tower of Horrors, where you will find a fall from a height and a giant circular swing.
Six Flags Magic Mountain. Los angeles, california

In addition to the amazing dinosaur, you can see and visit various slides, water parks, and also enjoy the incredible Sea Life aquarium. Most of the scenery in this park is made of Lego. This park is aimed at families with children, because the slides are specially designed for young visitors. If you want to spend more time in the park, then you have the option of staying at the Legoland themed hotel.

Carowinds, Charlotte
Airport: Douglas International Airport, Charlotte
At Carowinds Park, you can ride one of the tallest slides in the United States, the Fury 325. This slide is described as an “angry hornets nest” because it soars 100 meters into the sky at 150 km / h! In addition, the park has a Boomerang Bay water park that will appeal to both children and adults.
Busch Gardens, Williamsburg, Virginia

Busch Gardens is 100 km from Virginia Beach. This park has been waiting for its opening for 40 years, and for good reason! In this park you will find entertainment for every taste and age.

The adventure on this slide starts with a 60-meter fall at a 60-degree angle and reaches a speed at which your cheeks will swell in the wind - 110 km / h.
Holiday World and Safari, Nashville
Airport: Nashville International Airport
The attraction of this park lies in the fact that it was the world's first theme park. Despite this, it still does not give up its positions and is a favorite among fans of extreme rides on incredible slides. In addition, the water park, which was built on the territory of the park, was recently voted the best in America by the USA Today newspaper. The Thunderbird ride, which opened not so long ago, is the first roller coaster in the United States where people sit in chairs installed not on the rails, but on the sides. From a distance, this design resembles a bird with spread wings, and it accelerates to 95 km / h in just 3.5 seconds!
