of summer fun. While there are many such parks that
are open during the summer, there are many others that
are open throughout the year. Some of these are
obviously in places with nice climates like California or
Florida, but others are actually in places that are less
exotic like Ohio. Here are the top seven theme parks in
the U.S.

Island

downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, Kings

parks in the US. It has 12 roller
