I have been to several of the world-class theme parks in Southern California lately. Between them all, you can immerse yourself in the world of a bunch of your favorite TV and movie characters.
We know where to find Mickey Mouse and all his Disney friends-in Anaheim. Check out the SoCal Vacation Guru for useful information and tips from locals about a vacation at Disneyland. Nobody has done a better job of breathing life into fictional characters than the Disney folks.
A few miles down the road at Knott’s Berry Farm you’ll find all the Peanuts gang at Camp Snoopy. The Peanuts guys have been at Knott’s Berry Farm for quite awhile now and seem to feel at home there.
Your next stop would be Universal Studios Hollywood and the many TV and movie stars such as Betty Boop, the Hulk, Batman and Spiderman, joined most recently by Homer Simpson and his wonderful family. Pick up some useful information and tips about Universal Studios from the SoCal Vacation Guru.
The third park to visit for characters would be Six Flags Magic Mountain up in Valencia. Thrill rides and roller coasters are perhaps the most notable feature of Six Flags. It does not take long to figure out that the Looney Tunes people are in charge of public relations.
Here and there around the park you will find some of your favorites, like Daffy, Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam. There’s a nice area just for small children; the park management has figured out that not everyone is a teen-age or twenty- something thrill ride fanatic. You won’t have to go too far to find a couple of the Looney Tunes folks here and there in the park.
