Most Beautiful Park

Silver Dollar City - nothing compares to the view from the top of Wildfire. Holy crap...

I don't know if the fact that looking out at a forest not even owned by the park means it's a beautiful park :p Like, it's obviously a nice park, but I don't really think that's valid reasoning :p .

I agree about Alton having random bits like Spinball and stuff, but overall I think it's really, really nice.
 
I'd probably say the most beautiful park is Happy Valley Beijing, I haven't seen a park half as stunning as this:

Last pic is my absolute favourite sight at a Theme Park.
 
I always thought nothing could top Dollywood or BGW, but then I went to Gilroy Gardens a few days ago & was absolutely blown away by how gorgeous the park is. I know they only have kiddie rides, but there is simply no park on the planet that can match the natural beauty of Gilroy Gardens.

^So true, but it is the 'Most Beautiful Park' I've visited.
 
I smell rct evergreen gardens :D. Nah, I know the owners have no plans to expand their park to lean towards a more thrill oriented audience, they already pull their niche off very well.
 
I Find Portaventura an absolutely gorgeous park. The entrance is surreal, entering through the 'streets' and then walking out in an open area with the lake infront of you and baco to the right blending in sublimely (no matter how rough, it aesthetically pleases ;) ).
Alton Towers has gone downhill IMO however you cant deny the gardens are beautiful.
 
Yeah, Dollywood I'd say. It's far more natural than BGW.

Where Alton is pretty its exceptional, but the majority of the theme park elements are pretty disgusting, either intentionally, poor upkeep or poor execution.

Phantasialand wins in terms of all out fakery. It's so dense and intricate everywhere you look.

Animal Kingdom deserves a mention, its just a little flat to win it. The jungle tiger walkthrough bit is just wow.

I think Leofoo Village was one of the more beautiful parks I've been too.

Holy cow, that place looks fantastic! I'm guessing this is in India or somewhere thereabouts?
 
Out of all the parks I've been to it's probably a tie between Efteling and Europa Park.

That Leofoo Village does look very nice. I'm actually flying to Taipei tomorrow, but no theme park trips on the cards unfortunately :-( However, those photos of Happy Valley Beijing are stunning - I'm going to be in Beijing the week after next, so I'll have to go and check it out!
 
Cedar Point, as long as you're only looking at the area around Iron Dragon, the beach, and the bridge to get to the park.
 
Don't forget Tokyo Disney Sea, but it's kind of a different beautiful, in the sense that EVERYTHING there is fabricated.
