JAMES CITY, Va. -- Amusement park enthusiasts are touting Busch Gardens in Virginia as the country's most beautiful amusement park.

Busch Gardens Europe in James City County earned the honor for the 21st consecutive year based on an annual survey by the National Amusement Park Historical Association. The group is dedicated to preserving and documenting the heritage of amusement parks.

The survey is the oldest of its type and highly regarded within the park industry and enthusiasts' circle.

Busch Gardens beat out Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla., for the sixth straight year for the honor. The park also nabbed the third place spot for favorite theme park, which was topped by Walt Disney World and Disneyland.

Thanks, Beth.

I can't say I'm surprised on this one, though. Although I've never been to Busch Gardens, I've heard it's an extremely beautiful and scenic park. I hope to get there someday! : )

Thanks for the article.

Lived on its doorstep for nearly 7 years and never had the urge.

Since the Tampa Busch Gardens is a block away from where I got my BA, I was like many students and worked there for a while. Did choreography and sets for the entertainment venues. It was a lot of fun, but I certainly do not miss dance rehearsals in the Florida summer weather !
