BeastForever Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Now at first thought about this thread you're probably thinking, "Oh Cedar Point any day of the week!" But really, I go with Kings Island as is it is my hometown park (obviously) but still, Kings Island has lots of room to expand. There fore, I can expect a new ride every two or three years. Cedar Point, yes, as mentioned before they still have some room to expand but not for long they will have to start removing rides in order to build new ones... (And yes, I should have posted this in the KI Polls) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dvo Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Cedar Point any day of the week! Any more, CP is my home park, despite my living in Chicagoland. While I'll always have fantastic memories of the many, many trips to Kings Island growing up, Cedar Point is definitely my favorite park.

CincyMan98 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Disney World! Which, I did live an hour away from Disney when I was very young, and we had annual passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markr Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 While I love CP, I also love KI. KI is a part of my city's history and heritage, ie a continuation of Coney Island and I wouldn't have it any other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BavarianBeatle Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Easy answer. CP! Although there may or may not be land issues there, CP has several older rides that have, IMO, become obsolete and could be removed and replaced by more modern attractions. --Beatle, who has had both parks as his home park at various times in his life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan1980 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Out of the two options - Kings Island. I think it is a much better park for the quick trip to catch a few rides and has a variety of coasters that I love. Although I will continue to enjoy a road trip to CP still. Also, if CP was my hometown park, that means I'd be living in Sandusky - uh, I'll take Mason thanks. Expand the options and my recent trip to Knott's Berry Farm comes to mind.

WinonaExpress Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I've only been to CP once over a long weekend, and as much as I love KI, I'd really like to be able to get out to CP more easily simply because I haven't experienced the whole park. As it stands, I'm not very close to either park. I'm an hour and thirty minutes away from KI and roughly three hours away from CP, so really I'd like to have a park close to me period.

pkiboy Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Kings Island All the Way Not that I Don't Love Cedar Point But KI holds a lot of Memories for me As a park guest and a Former employee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropZone99 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Well if I had to chose any park (that I've been to) I'd chose Kings Dominion. But out of KI & CP, I'd say Cedar Point, Variety (quantity & quality). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastForever Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 I still stay with KI. The park has sooooo much room to expand. Cedar Point will have to demolish old rides to build new ones. At Kings Island, I can enjoy the new rides without having to say goodbye the old rides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markr Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 ^Ironically, it seems like KI has gotten rid of more old rides while CP has preserved most of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustbucket Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Actually, this is very easy. SFMM. This park is open all year! Also, the coaster selections are outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Kid Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Eaither Holiday world or Dollywood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 As much as I like Kings Island and Cedar Point, I must admit I find a trip to Dream Street much more of a great escape...especially since I know I could never, ever afford to live there... http://postcards.amu...VIEW-FROM-D.jpg http://postcards.amu...s008%20copy.jpg http://www.amusementpics.com/SFGANotesSpring08/052408-179.jpg A very close and now departed friend always told me it would never matter where I lived, as I'd always want to go somewhere else...and that's very much the case!

IBEW_Sparky Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 With the two choices given, I dont even have to let my mind fully process the statement before I say Cedar Point!! However, as has been said within this post, if the list were expanded the choice would be Holiday World. WDW would get the ultimate nod but I consider that "parks" instead of "park" so it is not a fair comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Out of the parks I have been to I wuold say Cedar Point. I love Kings Island and the rides we have seem better rounded and the park I think overall is nicer. But the location of Cedar Point is amazing. There is so much more than roller coasters and amusment park stuff to do there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastForever Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 I still go with Kings Island because we have Beast. And what do they have ugh...Mean Streak. I have to agree CP does have a way better location. But KI has an amazing grand entrance. And for some reason I like Diamondback a lot better than Millenium Force and Magnum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cormaster Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I loved Cedar Point and I honestly say I liked it better than Kings Island. That being said I went for 2 days in July and it was my first time since '95, and only my second visit to the park. Since 2007 I've been to Kings Island 11 times now, and many trips were multi-day visits. Also I had gone many times before my first trip of '07, dating all the way back to 1989, CP I've only been twice. If I lived next to Cedar Point, I'd probably be just as tired of it as I am of Kings Island, so I'm going to just say that I'm happy with KI as my home park. And I used to complain about there not being a local park near Indy, but now I'm kind of glad there isn't because its roughly a 2 hour drive to KI right now... if I lived close enough I could go there on a weekly, or even a daily basis I couldn't IMAGINE how tired I'd get of the park!

Guest Millennium Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Cedar Point. I really like KI, but I just do not like their coaster collection. And this year I've discovered that I don't really like Diamondback anymore. I would rather ride Gemini all day than DB. Along with that, CP has Maverick, Millie, TTD, and Magnum, my #1 steel. I don't love some of the things about the park, but I have to admit it is a great place with some great flats. However, I would want SFGA to be my home park the most. The whole park reminds me of KI some, along with great landscaping and awesome coasters. I could imagine myself going there over and over and enjoying it. But I bet I would rather have KI as a home park if I lived in Newark and went to Great Adventure every other week. It is hard to say.

The Interpreter Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I have many, many Jersey friends, some of them very close. They all grew up with Great Adventure (and never, ever call it Six Flags). To a person, they each prefer Kings Island and adore Cedar Point! I call it Statue of Liberty disease...most New Yorkers think the Statue of Liberty is nothing all that special, they take visitors there but never go there...after all, it's always been there to them, and local...

Whales_Rock Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Kings Island, because it has a great selection of rides it offers, but it doesn't have enough to make myself drive there if it wasn't my home park. Hopefully that makes sense O.o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
