Clearly Old Walt visited lots of old world places when he built Disneyland...The original Disneyland had tons of influance from Northern Europe...(The original Type face was really Bavarian on the sign out front)

Most Beer Gardens have a German thing going on.

There are a few towns that in post war California got wierd themes. Kingsburg on 99 is Sweedish, and Solvang on 1 is Danish.

There too is a wierd German place in Huntington Beach that was built in the late 70's...fake rocks, and cute houses. It's pretty cool...I think it was called "Old World"
While attending Golden West College, I staggered out of the Ratskeller more than once. (tired from study)

There's a town in Washington where everything's Suisse or German. It's tidy and quite a surprize if you just happen onto it.

I think it's called Levenworth, but I may be mixing it up with someplace else.

Another place kind of like that in Nova Scotia is called Lunenburg. It was a German settlement, and remains sort of differnt from the towns around it of it's own age.

Not really parks tho...
