My Auntie is coming for a visit soon and they want to go to a theme park - so here is my list of some pros and cons of a few.
Universal Studios:
Pros: Lots of roller coasters and water rides. My all time favorite restaurant Finnigan's and my all time 2nd favorite roller coaster "The Mummy". There is the "Day in the Park with Barney", great for the little ones. Good for old and young -
Cons: Lines can get kind of long -
Sea World:
Pros: You get to see orca whales do some awesome tricks, you can feed the dolphins, seals, sea lions and stingrays (But do it fast! The birds around there will steal the fish if you are not fast!) The "Clyde and Seymour Show". The exhibits for the penguins, sharks, eels and polar bears! There is also a restaurant that when you eat - you can watch the sharks from the shark exhibit! There are hardly any lines anywhere!!! Couple of good coasters for the older ones and Shamu's Happy Harbor for the little ones.
Cons: Sometimes you can get wet at the whale shows (burrrrrr - the waters cold!) and the penguin exhibit is really, really stinky. (P.U.)
Magic Kingdom:
Pros: Well, it is the "Happiest Place on Earth"! Kid friendly. It's Disney. Several good places to eat.
Cons: Looonnnggg lines - it's Disney - everyone is there. Only one coaster for the 'Big Kids' and it's currently being refurbished.
So, there you have it! An 11-year-olds view of theme parks. Hope it helps!
