Unit 5 Theme parks Period One Warming Up Reading The first theme parks in the world that usually come to mind are Walt Disney World and Disneyland，which are located in Florida and California respectively.It is no surprise that they are among the largest and most visited theme amusement parks in the world.Walt Disney World embodies the definition of the theme park，and in its main section，the Magic Kingdom，there are several theme mini-parks that display this even further. An example of these sections is Frontierland，where visitors can experience the architecture of the old west of the United States，and in it they can ride rides and see live shows that highlight this era of American culture.Throughout the entire park，these minor themes are tied together with the major themes of the park，such as its mascot，Mickey Mouse. Other theme parks imitate Disney’s successful formula，but alter it by using mainly corporate themes and focusing more mainly on thrill rides for the amusement of patrons.Busch Gardens and Six Flags are examples of these types of theme parks，and the former uses live animals and a zoo-like atmosphere for some of its themes.Each park can be different and unique in its own ways，and the more successful parks stay in competition with one another by constantly expanding and by adding more shows and rides every couple of years. 根据上文完成下列各题 1．When we talk about the theme parks，which parks do we first think of?
