Tom76257 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I've only been to five theme/amusement parks, but I'll try to help out. From best to what I thought was the least best (I liked them all.): Cedar Point - COASTERS,COASTERS, AND MORE COASTERS! Also a HUGE variety of flat rides. Resorts are right there on the peninsula with the park. It's also completely surrounded by water which makes it a beautiful park. Holiday World - Three of the best wooden coasters I've EVER ridden including the top ranked wooden coaster in the world, The Voyage. The flats aren't bad either. FREE EVERYTHING - drinks, parking, sunscreen, etc. The food prices are awesome and the food is too! Also has the second ranked water park in the world, Splashin' Safari. Kings Island - Home park. 'Nuff said! Almost - while I like the selection in coasters, KI could REALLY use some more flat rides. Other than that, awesome park. Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom - This has to be THE most underrated park I've ever been to. I'd heard nothing but bad things, went there, and was completely surprised. They only have six working coasters, but all of them (except T2) are great! Thunder Run made it into my Top 5 Wood and Greezed Lightnin' is simply the most underrated ride I've ever ridden. Simple, yet effective. Not a bad selection of flats there either. I'm hearing the water ride Deluge is awesome, but I haven't ridden it yet. Americana/Lesourdesville Lake - I only went there once and KICK MYSELF for not riding Screechin' Eagle (I didn't like roller coasters at the time.). I wish the park was still open, but you can't always get what you want. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincyMan98 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 What parks do you think I should visit next year? Well, I've heard that Eden Park is a nice little area. Also, Central Park in New York City is a must visit sometime in your life. But seriously, I don't know because I've not really been anywhere but Disney and Seaworld. So, from my experience, I'd have to tell you to visit Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Seaworld Orlando. From hearing people talk, I'd say Six Flags Magic Mountain, Six Flags Great Adventure, Dollywood, Coney Island, and Holiday World. It just depends on how far you want to travel. how much money you're willing to spend, how long you can take off work, and your interests. Must you joke around?

Diamondback FOF Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Yes. Diamondback FOF, who just HAD too... Seriously, yeah. People are here to have fun. Also, I did give some real information. And, KI Finatic never specified what type of park. I'm just sayin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KI Kevin Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I'm hearing the water ride Deluge is awesome, but I haven't ridden it yet. Oh, it is. Deluge is now my favorite water slide ever. Anyway, here's my list best to worst. By the way, all of these have coasters, so Stratosphere isn't included. Busch Gardens Europe: Easily the most scenic and beautiful park I've been to. Excellent theming everywhere in the park. They've got 6 coasters, one of which is a kiddie coaster that I didn't ride, but the other five coasters were AWESOME, unlike other parks that have a TON of coasters, but only about half are even worth riding (not mentioning any names...). Their 3 B&M's are all in my top 10. Griffon is awesome. The only category it's lacking in is flats. Food is great. My favorite themed areas are Festa Italia and Ireland. Other than that, with the addition of the new coaster next year in place of BBW, it will be an even more awesome park. Kings Island: I know this park so well. I've had a pass all 13 years of my life. Very well shaded, trees everywhere. The layout is nice. They've got some sweet rides also (Diamondback, Beast, Son of Beast, Vortex, Drop Tower...). Food isn't that great...I love this park and is the only thing I really like about living in Cincinnati. Cedar Point: Rides/ Coasters everywhere you look. A lot of great coasters (Maverick, Dragster, Raptor, Mantis, Magnum...), and some good rides (Chaos, Demon Drop, Skyhawk, Power Tower). My only problem with this park is that is that I find myself walking very far distances to get to a ride I want to ride. This is because the good rides are all spread out, where at KI, you've got Diamondback/ Beast/ Vortex, and Flight of Fear/ Firehawk, and Adventure Express/ Racer, and the Action Zone rides. I don't particularly like the layout of the park. Otherwise, it's a great park. Kings Dominion: A slightly lesser version of KI. The only rides that stand out are Volcano and Dominator (front seat ONLY). Their version of the Crypt is also really intense and awesome. Other than that, their wooden coasters are pretty short and not that great, and some of their rides just hurt (Anaconda, Shockwave...). I noticed that food prices weren't as bad as CP's. Still a pretty good park that I'll have to go to sometime soon. My dad said if the 2010 coaster really does break 300 he'll take me next year! Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom: Pretty underrated. Their waterpark is awesome. Better quality slides than KI's (Deluge, Mega Wedgie...). The food I've ahd was pretty good, Kingdom Fries. Some pretty good rides, Chang is SWEET and Greezed Lightnin' is much better than it looks. I just wish they wouldn't have a whole section of the park closed off, not even touched. I mean, the Mile High Falls and Twisted Twins signs are still there. Adventuredome: Pretty cool park. Had one big coaster, the Canyon Blaster. It's an Arrow Looper that I thought was okay. They had some neat flats there like Inverter, Disk'O, and Slingshot. Didn't eat there. Coney Island: Tied with the Adventuredome. Coney is majorly lacking coasterwise, with their only coaster being a very mediocre one. But they've got a HUGE variety of classic flats everywhere from the Tilt-a-Whirls to the caged ferris wheel, the Rock-o-Planes. I love the feel of this park. All in all, a good park if you're looking for something fun for the day. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedar Point-The leader of all amusment parks Whichever park has the highest roller coaster.-You have to ride the tallest once. Ahem...that last one would be Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey. Unless you mean that coaster has to be operating, as right now it's kinda klosed. Provided IT is operating, the tallest operating roller coaster in the world is currently Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant in the future, you have to visit whatever park happens to have the tallest coaster in the world. Not just currently with Kinda Ka.

The Interpreter Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Given the current state of the world economy, I'd suspect the next coaster built that is taller than Kingda Ka will most probably be built outside North America, most likely in the Middle East or China...

DaveStroem Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 We with be at SFGAdv on Monday. Does it count being at the park with the tallest SBNO coaster if you don't get to ride it? Terpy, have you heard if they have done any testing on KK this week? I am quite doubtful that it will be up, but still hoping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 From what I have heard, it should have been testing this week. I am not in a position to confirm that, if you catch my drift.... Terpy, being kinda koy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I'll give a rundown of my parks. Kings Island-My home park I guess you could say, considering it's the only park I get to visit every year more than once. The ride selection is great, great shows, and most of all there is something for everyone in your entire family to do. Overall great park. Cedar Point-Truly the greatest park on earth. If you are a coaster enthusiast and you have not been to Cedar Point, your not an enthusiast. Millennium Force, Top Thrill Dragster, Maverick, Magnum XL-200, need I say more. First coaster to break the 200, 300, and 400 foot barriers. This park has it all. Dollywood-Can you say, underrated? I mean come on now, Mystery Mine, Tennessee Tornado, Daredevil Falls, Blazing Fury. Oh yeah there's this one I forgot to mention, they call it Thunderhead, it sucks though don't ride it. Busch Gardens Williamsburg.....er.Europe-Beautiful park, really nice landscape and the food is delicious. You also have Big Bad Wolf (God rest his soul), Nessie, Apollo, Alpengeist, and now Griffon. This park is truly a must visit because of how it is situated and how beautiful it really is. Six Flags Darien Lake-Meh, Superman is all they have in my opinion. Visit if your around the area I guess. Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom-Haven't been in a long time, I mean long. Last time I was there it was still called Hellavator, it was still standing for the fact of the matter. Chang is really good, great stand up, Thunder Run is a good woody, and I have never rode T2 so I really cannot say, but since it is a cookie cutter I assume it's just like Mind Eraser, which was alright.
