Looking at Wikipedia, I see this:

Kings Island is the most visited seasonal amusement park in the U.S. with an estimated 3,000,000 visitors in 2009 (second overall in North America behind sister park Canada's Wonderland).^[2]

How is that true? What about Cedar Point?

Can someone explain if this is true or if its not?

Palm. It's Wikipedia. Who knows for sure.

In a matter of minutes that could be amended to read that a pecan waffle is the most visited seasonal US park. It's WikiPedia. Cedar Fair does not release individual park attendance figures. In recent years, estimates have said KI outdraws CP. I have reason to doubt the validity of many of the estimates.

Yes, I know, I know - it's Wikipedia. But, most of the information on the site is true - several things for school projects I have proven by looking at another website.

^Exactly. So why go to Wikipedia at all, when you can easily go to a different, more reliable site just as easily?

Because Wikipedia has one page of information, unlike others where there are pages and pages of it. And it has a table of contents, links to other pages and is easy to search for.

And is often full of unreliable garbage. In my line of work, the town drunk is considered more credible...

How is ole Otis these days?

I ride in one of his creations six times, minimum, each workday, now. I learned the hard way last week not to take the steps all the way down. Seems the exit, the ONLY exit, from the mid-rise stairwell, is alarmed. So, thinks I, no big deal, I'll just go back up a floor. Only one small problem...the last set of doors in the stairwell had also locked behind me. So, out I go, accompanied by sirens, bells, and soon enough, armed guards!

ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH. I did. I still have a job. And I won't be doing THAT again!

It doesn't surprise me that much........

I'm not 100% sure, but is this a better source?:

Also, remember, Kings Island opens a few weeks BEFORE Cedar Point does.

It's as good as you are going to get.

I still doubt those estimates, though. I've been to both SFGAd and SFGAm many times. I really truly doubt that 2,700,000 figure for each. Both parks seem far, far busier than the Ohio parks.
