You Can Visit Quite A Few TV Cartoon Characters At SoCal Theme Parks
In recent months I’ve had the chance to go to most of the seven major theme parks in So Cal. Between them all, you can immerse yourself in the world of a bunch of your favorite TV and movie characters.
The first place we think of is Disneyland, the hangout for Mickey, Donald and all their buddies. The Disneyland Resort is a popular vacation destination for a lot of reasons and you’ll want the insight of locals to plan the best trip. Who doesn’t love the wonderful job Disney has done in creating a fictional universe of lovable characters?
Knott’s Berry Farm is not far from Disneyland, and you can continue your movie star hunt by visiting Snoopy and the rest of the Peanuts clan. Knott’s has done a nice job of absorbing Charlie Brown, his faithful pet and their friends into their culture.
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. Plan out your trip to the crazy characters at the Universal Studios theme park by doing a little research with the SoCal Vacation Guru.
Lastly, we drive up north a ways and stop at Six Flags Magic Mountain. The features that set this park apart from many others are the Six Flags roller coasters and thrill rides. As soon as you get inside, you realize that the place is run by the Looney Tunes characters from the Warner Brothers cartoons.
You will find Yosemite Sam, Daffy Duck, Sylvester and the Roadrunner, some of whom hang out with the guests. 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. The characters are very charming and are pretty easy to find around the mountain.
