www.themeparkinsider.com: We'd bet that most people think first of rides when they think about theme parks. And while we love all the great rides in the parks, we know that top theme parks also provide some wonderful shows for our entertainment. This week, we honor the Top 10 live shows at major theme parks, as determined by the collective rating of Theme Park Insider readers.

I always think of the live shows at amusement parks as a attraction for the parents to plop their kids down for a little bit so they can rest, or for something for the grandparents of the family to go and sit and watch. But I have to agree that they are legitimate live entertainment experiences just the same as plays or musicals. I am surprised that the Shamoo show was not one of the shows listed there. I was wondering if they didn’t want to list it because it was an animal show, or because of the “Blackfish” controversy surrounding it. But I would have to imagine that these shows are under a much heavier rigor-of-repeatability that even touring or broadway shows are. They have to be short, but I can imagine that some of them are performed 30 or 40 times a day, and the scenery and mechanics of the performance have to handle that.
I basically wanted to read this article because i was curious on what the best live shows in theme parks were. And was so ironic is that most of them are located in Florida where I live. I love to see that I grew up with all of the creative entertainment. No wonder I want to be a part of it. It has surrounded my life ever since I was a child. And I love it. This article really allows me to appreciate what field I'm going into. And know people who are a part of these entertainment experiences makes me feel like I'm closer to my future career than I think. I'm so blessed with where I came from and I hope to further my connections this summer working close to these area. I also wanted to say that I think the Lion King experience, for this list, is my top favorite live show. Gotta love those monkeys!
