5. Robot Land (Incheon, South Korea)

Originally due to open in 2013, Robot Land is now on course for a 2015/16 debut. Costing a huge $700 million to construct, it will show off the best of South Korea's robotics industry. Famous characters from movies such as The Matrix, I-Robot and Minority Report are set to feature in some of its rides and shows, but the real highlights will be the educational exhibits...including an aquarium housing robot fish, and an arena for boxing robots.

4. Diggerland (multiple locations, England)

The Diggerland concept has really taken off in the UK, with sites in Kent, Devon, County Durham and West Yorkshire. There, kids can live out their construction-worker dreams by sitting in a variety of JCBs and other contraptions. Don't miss the stunt shows, starring the "Dancing Diggers".

3. World Joyland (Changzhou, China)

Known by most as the "World of Warcraft theme park", World Joyland's primary theme appears to be copyright infringement. The "Terrain of Magic" bears a striking resemblance to Blizzard's smash-hit game, while "Universe of Starship" appears to pay homage to Starcraft. Even more brazen is the "Disney Store" at the park's entrance.

2. Wunderland Kalkar (Dusseldorf, Germany)

It's a fairly standard amusement park, but Wunderland Kalkar's location ensures that it stands out from the crowd. It's situated in a disused nuclear ower plant - with one of the cooling towers now housing a climbing wall and swing ride.

1. Suối Tiên Cultural Amusement Park (Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam)

It's home to an impressive selection of roller coasters and water rides, but the Suối Tiên Cultural Amusement Park also doubles as a Buddhist religious exhibition. The major attractions include Heaven Palace (which depicts the afterlife) and a boat ride through the 12 torments of hell. As if that wasn't enough, the park's zoo hosts more than 1,500 crocodiles.
