One type of imaginary world that overlaps in a literal sense with the real world is the theme park. Disneyland, its many spinoffs and its competitors create spaces in which visitors can take a brief vacation to another sort of reality. What are some of your favorite theme parks, either as a whole or certain “lands” within them?

Defunct Bonus: Inspired by the YouTube channel Defunctland, is there any park or ride that no longer exists, that you particularly miss? Or that you wish you’d had the chance to visit, only learning about it after the fact?

Coaster Bonus: How do you feel about rollercoasters that are “themed”? Does this add to the experience for you?
