Best South African Theme Park?

accreditation
Gold Reef City, Johannesburg
The place itself is legendary! Not only is Gold Reef City built around a historic 19th century gold mine, but the property also boasts everything from a world-class casino and amusement park; to guided tours, gold-pouring demonstrations, and an animal farm. And that’s not all. The venue also features a 4D theatre, which is amped up with hydraulic seats and a range of smells and scents to add an extra dimension to watching movies.

Ratanga Junction, Cape Town
With more than 20 rides, a bustling events and entertainment calendar, a food court of note, Table Mountain in view and a shopping mall close by, this seasonal theme park truly has something for everyone! Highlights include the Cobra, the Slingshot, the stomach-churning Congo Queen and the fun and fiery Monkey Falls.

uShaka Marine World, Durban
The Golden Mile hot spot features a fun and entertaining water park, one of the largest aquariums in the world, an open-air shoppers’ paradise and even a sanctuary for kids. uShaka is for water-lovers and you can try your hand (and heroicness) at shark-cage diving, snorkeling and loads more.

So, there you have it… a (very) basic roundup of SA’s most popular thrill-seeking destinations.

Do tell us… which of the three is best, and why?
