Recently I’ve had the chance to visit some of the great theme parks in Southern California. If you would like to see some of the beloved animated movie and TV characters “live” these parks are the place for you.
Of course Disneyland is the first park that comes to mind, with Dumbo, Mickey, Goofy and the others. If you’d like some good information about planning a trip to the Disneyland Resort, check out the SoCal Vacation Guru. Who doesn’t love the wonderful job Disney has done in creating a fictional universe of lovable characters?
A few miles down the road at Knott’s Berry Farm you’ll find all the Peanuts gang at Camp Snoopy. Charlie Brown, Linus and the others fit nicely into the personality of Knott’s Berry Farm.
Hit Universal Studios Hollywood and you can find Spiderman, Betty Boop, the Flintstones, Woody Woodpecker and a squadron of other beloved Universal characters that have been at the heart of many television shows and famous movies. Your visit to Universal Studios Hollywood will go a little smoother if you pick up some tips and advice first.
The third park to visit for characters would be Six Flags Magic Mountain up in Valencia. The first thing you see when you get close to the park are the Six Flags roller coasters. As soon as you get inside, you realize that the place is run by the Looney Tunes characters from the Warner Brothers cartoons.
You will find Yosemite Sam, Daffy Duck, Sylvester and the Roadrunner, some of whom hang out with the guests. The childrens’ area has attractions centered around these whacky celebrities, which is a nice break from the thrill rides that dominate the place. You won’t have to go too far to find a couple of the Looney Tunes folks here and there in the park.
