Theme parks, Japan
Theme parks are very popular in Japan and there are more than 100 parks with lots of things to see and do. Tokyo Disneyland opened in 1983. It was the first Disney theme park outside the US.
The rides at modern Japanese theme parks are fast and exciting - but they are very safe. The bravest people can go on the 'thrill rides' - these are scary rides that use a lot of expensive technology.
Other theme parks in Japan are about the Japanese way of life. For example, at Edo Wonderland Nikko Edomura, you can dress up in historical clothes and visit attractions such as a Ninja Trick Maze.
Theme parks have more than just rides and rollercoasters. There are also shops, cafés, restaurants, shows and concerts.
