小编导读:想知道全世界最梦幻最怪诞最值得一去的主题公园都在哪吗?跟英语君一起开启游园之旅吧!友情提示:中国有两个主题公园上榜了哦!

This strange waterfall overlooks the Swarovski crystal theme park.
这片奇怪的瀑布俯瞰着施华洛世奇水晶主题公园。

Disney's theme parks might be the best known, but they are far from the most interesting. Across the globe, people have created amusement and theme parks inspired by everything from haute jewelry to construction equipment to dog poop. Before you plan your next trip to the same old Disney park or Universal Studio, consider visiting one of these bizarre theme parks instead.
迪斯尼的主题公园也许是最有名的,但是他们却不是最有趣的。纵观全世界,从高级珠宝到施工设备再到狗狗的便便,人们从一切事物中获得灵感来创建游乐园和主题公园。在你计划下一次旅行去同样的老迪斯尼乐园或环球影城之前,作为替代,考虑一下去参观这些最怪诞的主题公园中的一个。
