Best Amusement Park?
 
I'm afraid of rides (yes, lol) so I don't really know the ins and outs of amusement parks. What are your favorites?

Six Flags Over Texas will always hold a special place in my heart. As a child I lived maybe fifteen minutes away. Bored on a summer morning? Let's hit the Shockwave. (Why they didn't build another coaster between 1980 and 1991 is beyond me.)

I was impressed with Magic Mountain in LA. Less 'fun,' but more no-nonsense ride-based wackiness. "Theme? [censored] that. Dozen roller coasters right next to each other. That's your theme."

Universal Islands of Adventure in Orlando. The Hulk Coaster is excellent and the Spiderman ride is the best non-roller coaster ride I'v eever been on.

You pussy. The best parks I have been to are Cedar Point (Ohio) and Magic Mountain (CA). On the next tier you have King's Island (Ohio). On the bottom of the list there is Great America in Santa Clara (hey it is close at least but they keep taking out their best rides [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]).

The best ride by far is X at Magic Mountian. You so some crazy [censored] that just can't be put into words. One second you are face up going backwards and the next you are in a face first straight down freefall. If you don't like coasters, it certainly isn't a great place to start but stuff like X will certainly be the new breed of coaster. There is just nothing else like it right now and everyone is speechless after the ride because it is so sick.

In terms of exciting rides it's Six Flags Magic Mountain.

In terms of a awesome fun time good food and drink as an adult it's Copenhagen's Tivoli. If you're ever planning to visit Denmark I strongly suggest spending a night at Tivoli.

Any answer other than Cedar Point is made by someone who is clearly ignorant on the topic. Lock the thread. That's the answer. There is no debate.

Did somebody say Two p Two trip to Magic Mountain?

And the incredibleness factor goes way up when you ride in the rain. I was lucky enough to ride it once when it was pouring outside. It was fecking wild. Couldn't tell what was going on at all.

This makes me want to take a Nationwide Theme Park trip next summer. You know criss-cross the coutry staying at hotels hitting up theme parks and B&amp;Ms and play [censored] on my laptop. I should do it.

I suggest a visit to The Holy Land Experience in Orlando. Featured exhibits include the Wilderness Tabernacle, the Scriptorium, and the Jerusalem Model. The newest attraction is the exciting for all ages "A Day In The Life Of a Monk" exhibit.

Although possibly exceeded in total fun by Opryland, sadly that theme park is now closed. So, The Holy Land Experience is now the "must visit" theme park for all (not open Sundays).

Yes,I've been to over 30 amusement parks around the country and Magic Mountain is slightly above average.Nothing even comes close to Cedar Point.Absolutely nothing.

Magic Mountain has a reputation for being dirty, having rude employees, and filled with rowdy hoodlums. But the rides look awesome.

I've been to Cedar Point and it's by far the best.

I am from Ohio and didn't realize how good Cedar Point was until I moved away from Ohio.

It is a little bit different, but Busch Gardens in Tampa is also amazing.

exactly right. Top Thrill Dragster going 123 mph and over 400 feet high cannot be beat. It nearly dragged my eye-brow piercing out. Millenium force rocks. Magnum XL has nearly no wait with the other coasters and it only drops 200 ft. There is also a sweet wooden one that goes on and on and on.

I had a seasonal Florida resident pass to WDW Orlando several years when I lived in Florida. I experienced WDW from ages 12-22. As far as rides go WDW is not even top 8 as far as parks I have been to.

There was a time in my life I thought WDW was the best around though, but then I got out of Florida (although Tampa Busch Gardens beats it for rides even in FL).
