There\u2019s a whole stack of things to explore that don\u2019t even concern rollercoasters. You have beautiful gardens that are a few hours alone to explore and take in history. Next, you have the lovely Tower Ruins that again are filled with history to learn about and explore. Another incredible non-ride-related attraction is The Sealife. That\u2019s all inside of the theme park. There is so much more on the outside too including the fab Waterpark &amp; Extraordinary Golf.
