1 . Road Trip Planning
There are so many things to consider when planning a road trip, especially if you want to make it a great one. Think about it, with what little vacation time we have these days, don’t you want your vacation to be the kind that you remember forever and talk about for years to come?
Select Your Destination
First, you have to select a destination. There are many articles that include trip ideas, free road trip plans and tips about specific destinations.
This is where the FUN comes in! Road trip games are always a great idea, and the longer your trip is, the more you’ll enjoy them. Creating your own soundtrack (原声带) is another key to a fun road trip. Whenever you hear those songs long after your trip, they will bring memories flooding back and a smile to your face.

2 . Whoppie Whizzer
This thrilling ride that has you holding onto your seats in fear attracted more visitors than any other single attraction last year. The ride starts with a few gentle spins that gradually increase in speed, so that after thirty seconds you’ re moving round at 15 miles per hour! Suitable for anyone over 14 years of age, this ride is open throughout the season. It’s one you certainly don’t want to miss, so make sure you have a go early on in the day to avoid disappointment.
Spooksville
This is a haunted house（鬼屋) with a difference — come and visit if you dare! A hired team of professional actors perform stunts（特技表演）and try to frighten you senseless, and be warned — they will! Still, you have to judge for yourselves, so bring all the family along to this attraction. Enter alone at your own risk!
Aladdin's Magic Maze
Our Magic Maze is Europe’s biggest, as you will realize as soon as you try to find your way out! The walls of our corridors（走廊）are covered with mirrors so that when you start walking through, it can be pretty confusing — we' re still waiting for someone to beat the record exit（离开） time of twenty-two minutes. If you think you can do it, come along and try!
Pirate Ship
This huge pirate ship has been specially designed just for kids — it' s made of inflatable（可充气的）plastic so they can't hurt themselves! During our thirty-minute sessions they can climb up and down in the ship and enjoy themselves. Around the ship is the Slippery Scales swimming pool which they can swim around in — its new wave-machine will make them believe they’re really at sea! Teams of trained staff always keep an eye on their activities so parents can relax and enjoy themselves too!

8 . There are various reasons why people travel. Some tourists go to see battlefields or other historic remains. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. Most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.
Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money for the sun because they have so little of it. People of cities like London, Copenhagen and Amsterdam spend much of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason why the Mediterrancan has always attracted them.
Every summer many people travel to Mediterranean resorts and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun! The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economics of Mediterranean countries. Italy’s 30,000 hotels are booked without a break every summer. And 13 million people camp on French beaches, parks and roadsides. About 37 million tourists visit there yearly, or one tourist for each person living in Spain.
But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can deal with. The Mediterrancan is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. None of these, however, is ruining anyone’s fun. Obviously, they don’t go there for clean water. They allow traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don’t even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, ifs still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Olso.

9 . Small-Group Tour of Angkor Wat from Siem Reap
