it isnt really a thyeme park it is one part of a theme park called islands of adventure that has 5 other lands for things like jurassic park. marvel heros.n and dr. seuss. it honestly probably isnt worth a trip across the country if it the only thing you want to do. it is very cool but not a whole theme park.
