Although it's not a major "destination" theme park, Movie Park Germany is a very nice, miniature version of Universal Studios, with stylized versions of the Wild West, New York City, Nickelodeon, and, of course, Hollywood--with a bit of sci-fi and fantasy for good measure. The coasters are a mediocre lot (Bandit is downright bad), but much of the park is nicely themed, and there are plenty of attractions that families can enjoy together, including the very good Ice Age Adventure boat ride and the large selection of Nick-themed rides. Movie World really needs one or two "big" attractions to put it on the map, but you can spend a very enjoyable morning or afternoon there.
