This will include ALL of the parks, even if they're not exactly parks, I went to, in order for January 1st.
NY-NY Hotel: It's a hotel with a coaster. A decent coaster, but apparently I'm the only one who thinks that. The replicas of NY buildings were neat.
Adventuredome: Fun indoor park with a pink dome over you. Decent Arrow looper that I thought was a bit short. Pretty good flats though.
Stratosphere Tower: Easily the park with the most intense, heart-pounding, terrifying, three best flat rides in the world. Take a look at this video. Yeah.
Kings Island: Home park and still going strong! Easily one of my favorite parks. Diamondback is amazing, no doubt.
Cedar Point: A great park. While a lot may disagree, I think it is slightly overrated, although I did ride Maverick for the first time this year, and let me say, that's gotta be one of the best rides out there.
Coney Island: Small park, with a decent amount to do for it's size. Lacking in coasters, but makes up for it with their classic flats. Though, I do think calling a 40 foot Moser bouncer the Scream Machine is a bit extensive.
Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom: My first Six Flags park, and it does not live up to the bad Six Flags stereotype. It was clean, ride operations were good, liked the layout, employees were friendly. Overall, I really like this park. RIP Chang!
Kings Dominion: Well, this park is a slightly lesser version of Kings Island. I agree with Dave, they're missing a signature coaster, and I was underwhelmed by Dominator anywhere but the front. However, I was highly impressed with Volcano. My second favorite Intamin. Oh yeah the Congo section was neat.
Busch Gardens Williamsburg: My favorite park. Beautifully landscaped, ride operations were amazing, rides were amazing, especially Griffon, my #1 steelie, and Alpengiest, my #1 invert, and Loch Ness Monster, my #1 Arrow Looper, and Big Bad Wolf, my #1 suspended coaster, and Apollo's Chariot, my...wait for it...#3 hyper. The food was fantastic, theming was extensive. Overall just a fantastic park.
Holiday World: I'm still trying to decide my #2 park, Kings Island or Holiday World. Holiday World is just a great little park, with an amazing water park. Oh and their wooden coasters, simply put, amazing. Even without Voyage it would be amazing. Voyage though...my overall favorite coaster. Wow. I'm even wearing my Voyage shirt right now.
Six Flags Over Georgia: You can easily tell they invest a bit more in this park than its sister in Louisville, but I was slightly disappointed. Ride operations left some to be desired, employee kindness was hit-and-miss. More fits the Six Flags stereotype I was talking about earlier. But all the rides were running, and boy were they great! I loved their woodies, and their 4 B&M's were fantastic. I felt that Goliath was not quite as good as Diamondback, but that's not saying much cause it's still amazing! My #4 steel coaster. Mind Bender was great and theming throughout the park was good.
Stricker's Grove: Small park with some good rides. Tornado, Tip Top, but best of all...drum roll please...FLYING SCOOTERS!!!!
Well that's it for me.
