Theme parks have sometimes seemed like the type of place only a young child would find enjoyment from, but that isn’t necessarily true. All across the world, there are hundreds of amusement parks that are just beyond bizarre, and these are mostly aimed at teenagers and adults. Have you ever wanted to get a look at vomiting rats while riding a roller coaster? No? Well, if you change your mind, there are a couple of theme parks within this list that have rides just as odd, if not worse in nature.
7. Dollywood
Dollywood, which has an incredibly odd name already, got their name from the country singer Dolly Parton. This Tennessee-based theme park has become known for their fast, intense park rides for everyone visiting.
6. The Children’s Republic

Hacienda Napoles offers paying participants the chance to spend a day with exotic animals and visit a historic museum. To pass through the gate, though, you have to pass underneath the same plane Pablo Escobar used to smuggle his first batch of cocaine into the United States.
