I am from a country deemed as a little red dot in the world map (read Singapore) and like to visit theme parks (or amusement parks) a lot. Whenever I went overseas, theme park(s) will definitely be in the itinerary. So, I thought why not share out some useful theme parks related resources here for all the liked minded? Hence, the born of "Hot Theme Parks". 

Besides the official theme park related resources, wherever available, I will also include the following:

a. Resources on the deals/discounts (e.g. from Groupon, Deals etc...) available for the the theme park 

b. My personal review/experience of the theme park (if applicable).
