United States - DisneyLand

Disneyland is one of America's greatest tourist attractions and should be something every individual should experience at least once in their lifetime. The theme park is located in Anaheim, California and has been boasting a large audience since its conception by Walt Disney in 1955.

The attendance has been exponentially increasing since 1955, where the initial average was 1 million, and has grown to 16.7 million in 2014. In addition to this, the ticket pricing has also jumped up, from being $10.75 admission per person to around $100 in 2016. 

One of the most popular rides is 'Splash Mountain', a log-style ride in the 'Critter Country' Land section of the park, which started operating in 1989 and is still running to this day. Splash Mountain is famously known around the world due to its roller-coaster style and interesting characters within. It features a 50 foot drop, and reaches speeds of 64km/h.

Every year, Disneyland features various events that dramatically transform the appearance of the park. One of those being the Halloween promotion, which alters the overall theme of the park to be more sinister and fits the holiday event. Additionally, fireworks and other special celebrations take place during these holiday events that attract a larger audience and bring in an increased revenue to the park which ultimately boosts the happily themed atmosphere that the attraction emits.
