I’ve decided I like these top fives. It’s fun ranking and sorting important, unimportant and miscellaneous topics into a compact list. So, this week I’m throwing out my top five theme park themes. They will be chosen based on originality, cleverness, and quirkiness. Without any further ado, my top five theme park themes.
#5. Disneyland

I know what you’re thinking, “Jake, Disneyland is your favorite amusement park, how is it so low on this list?” – well, quite frankly, that would make this entire list very anti-climactic and a little boring.
