Pillsberry123 Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 I've tried searching for a topic like this but I've been unable to find one. If I overlooked it I'm sorry. I've been curious as to what everyone's favorite Cedar Fair park is. I've decided to take King's Island and Cedar Point out of the poll. Since this is a King's Island forum King's Island would obviously come out on top. Cedar Point is also a cliched answer, so I decided to not include it. Quote
DropZone99 Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Kings Dominion. It's wayy better than CP or KI, atleast to me. Carowinds is the only other one I've been too. I actually like it better than KI, but not CP. Quote
TylerRider Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 I chose Cairowinds because I really want to ride The Intimidator. 1 Quote
sheikra_rocks Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 You can't vote unless you've been to them all. I am not voting. Quote
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Similar but not exact http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=21416 The people have voted Kings Island into the Finals. Unless Carowinds gets 20 votes in 30 mintes Quote
Beast1979 Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Kings Dominion. It's wayy better than CP ........ How can one be expected to vote for one of these if they've only been to two, three, maybe four? It's impossible to tell by looking at PTRs and their ride lists, plus what one loves in one park they may hate in another (see above) As to the CF parks I've been to (KI and CP), CP takes the cake. Baby, I'm ready to go.... 1 Quote
KI Kevin Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 I've only been to Cedar Point, KI, Knott's and Kings Dominion. I would go KI, CP (but I can't use those), so KD, then Knott's. Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 This is a public poll. Other members WILL be able to see how you voted (including park PR people). I have been to all Cedar Fair parks, numerous times. I shall not be voting publicly. Quote
Coney Islander Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 What does PR stand for? I feel I should know this. Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Public Relations. I believe young moderns call it marketing. Terpy, crusty old fussbudget. 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 TH13TEEN, had you not said that, I'd been mighty disappointed in you! Terpy, who need not list his favorite SIX park...(as if anyone doubted what it is...) Quote
TH13TEEN Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 ^ The only CON is dispatch times. But when I'm out there I always have a blast. Quote

DropZone99 Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Kings Dominion. It's wayy better than CP ........ How can one be expected to vote for one of these if they've only been to two, three, maybe four?

Baby, I'm ready to go.... Well I took the question more as "Out of all the CF parks you have been to, which did you like best?" I have only been to Carowinds, Cedar Point, Kings Dominion, and Kings Island. I'm probably going to Dorney Park later this summer though. Quote
KI FANATIC 37 Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 You know what, I've been to KD, KI, Carowinds. I still have to say KI is my favorite CF park. I don't k ow why it just always feels like my home. Quote
cassie_KY Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 I love KD! The atmosphere can't be described. I have heard this is how KI used to be. Love the trees and flowers. 1 Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 I've been to all of the former Paramount Parks, but never to any of the legacy CF parks (except CP). For me, it's too close to call between Wonderland and Dominion. Both parks were great. Wonderful landscaping and good rides. So it's a null vote for me. I just can't decide between the two... Quote
coaster_junky Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 the only two Cedar Fair parks i've been to are Cedar Point and Kings Island. but my favorite park besides them is a tie between the four disney world parks. Quote
sheikra_rocks Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 giga, Dorney is a beautiful park. I hope you enjoy it. Quote
markr Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 The only other CF parks I have been to other than KI and CP are KD (once 16 years ago ) and Dorney Park. ( Once 2 years ago. ) I remember KD being a really pretty park with nice theming, especially the old Virginia section. However it gets very hot and humid down there in August-I remember we spent a lot of time at the water park. Loved Dorney Park also especially the old flat rides like The Whip and Wild Mouse. The park is very hilly ( being in PA ) and it could get tiring walking around the park. The burgers at Dorney were out of this world and the food prices very reasonable. Quote
KI Kevin Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 I have a question. It seems that last year, everyone was saying, "Oh, Kings Dominion is just a ghetto Kings Island, but still good." Why is everyone going crazy over KD nowadays? Quote
markr Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 I have a question. It seems that last year, everyone was saying, "Oh, Kings Dominion is just a ghetto Kings Island, but still good." Why is everyone going crazy over KD nowadays? Because of Intimidator 305. Quote
pkimike Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 Been to KD several times and I have never been overly impressed by it. I like CP, KI, and Dorney better. Never been to the other CF parks unless you count GL which had the worst food of any park I have been to. Quote
HTCO Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 I have a question. It seems that last year, everyone was saying, "Oh, Kings Dominion is just a ghetto Kings Island, but still good." Why is everyone going crazy over KD nowadays? It's a form of band wagoning in my mind. KD was, and still is in my mind a piece o' dung with a great coaster plopped in the middle(actually, more towards the right). I would like to define this as: Coasternaticbandowagonism if I may. All in good fun people. Quote
KI Kevin Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 I wouldn't say that, but I certainly don't think it's as good as everyone says it is. Quote

All in good fun people. I agree...well, there's a bit more than one good coaster.... Let's see, there's Volcano: The Blast Coaster. There's Grizzly. There's Avalanche. Some years, Rebel Yell is okay.... Terpy, who is done right about now...(and who has never, ever understood the fascination some people have with the Doswell park....now the one in Canada, that he understands, and how...) Quote
sheikra_rocks Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 I think KD is nicer honestly. The landscaping is awesome with all the trees and plants... even the tower is surrounded by shade trees. Quote
faeriewench Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Been to CP (obviously), KI, Carowinds, Canadas Wonderland, Worlds of Fun, Valleyfair (long time ago..) and Knotts. um I pick CP due to sentimental value even if its not the same CP anymore.. and then Knotts. 1 Quote
