What is your favorite amusement park?
Headed to CedarPoint in a week and a half. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
In my opinion it's the best due to the fact they have 17 roller coasters in one park.3 are in the top 10 in the world. Not to mention it is right on Lake Erie.
If your into coasters I would HIGHLY recommend you plan a summer trip there.

yeah i heard about cedar point...siiiiiiickkkk coasters... but i voted six flags becuase ive never been to cedar point and great adventure in new jersey has some amazing coatsers..like kinda ka
I voted six flags cause its the only one like that I've been too :shrug:
Thats cool can't vote for something you haven't done.
I would tell you you won't regret spending the cash to go there. It will NEVER satisfy you to go to SixFlags again after going to CedarPoint.
I was SO DISAPOINTED when I moved out west thinking there would be at least a few amusement parks that would put CedarPoint to shame seeing that they could be open year round.:(
Boy was I surprised when I went to Six Flags,Magic Mountain,&Knott'sBerry Farms.
You can't beat the old school wooden coasters that beat the hell out of you and keep you off the seat 70% of the ride.
One of my favorite is the BlueStreak................"The Blue Streak is the oldest operating roller coaster at Cedar Point. But make no mistake about it - this "woodie" still provides a great ride! After cresting the 78-foot-tall lift hill, riders experience more than a half-dozen hills, a hairpin turn and maximum "airtime!" Named after a local high school sports team, the wooden Blue Streak has given nearly 55 million rides since its first summer 43 years ago. "

15 views and only 3 votes....... I guess alot of people have NEVER been to a amusement park.
I voted 'other'. Being a Pennsylvania man at heart, I love Hershey Park. They have an amazing collection of rollercoasters that take the limelight because they aren't the biggest or the fastest, but the rides are just plain quality. The Comet (oldest coaster in the park) is my favorite wooden coaster there, or any park for that matter, and I believe it's actually my number one favorite, as well as the first rollercoaster I ever rode and enjoyed. Storm Runner is their newest, a launch coaster similar to Top Thrill Dragster at CP, but smaller, and only half the speed. You cannot beat 0-70 mph in 2.4 seconds short of going to cedar point and riding TTD. Lightning Racer, duelling and racing wooden coasters with steel-coaster smoothness, absolutely amazing ride for a woodie. The wildcat is a freaking kidney buster, i dislike that ride quite a bit. The great bear is another great ride, however, needed a better ending as there is a lot of straight track with nothing going on up to the brake section before the station. There are a host of other coasters there and they're all top-notch in my opinion. Combine that with the atmosphere of the family-oriented park and you have a winner. The only complaint I have is the pricing of certain things (food). Kinda outrageous, but what park isn't rediculous anymore?
I've been going to Amusement parks since the early 70s, nothing compares to Cedar Point! The best variety of coasters, and it is not a park with a theme like Disney Land or Six Flags, where it seems like all they try to do is sell you more of their crap you don't need to take home.
When my younger brother and my Dad and I went one time, on our 3rd ride in a row on the Mineshaft roller coaster, he got on and walked right through the car, he did not want to do it again! I think he was about 6 years old, very funny!

I remember when I was too short to ride the roller coasters I LOVED the Antique Cars. It was my favorite.Almost like I was really driving.
"The Antique Car ride was built in 1969 and is located in Frontiertown near the Cedar Creek Mine Ride. One of three car rides at Cedar Point, the Antique Cars are three-quarter scale replicas of 1910 Cadillac Touring Cars that travel over a nicely landscaped one-quarter mile roadway."
strapp in tight because you are off you seat tyhe whole time just about. the up and downs hurt the back to but always fun.Quote:

I've had many drunken trips there....... We would put your fists in between your thighs and the bars they push down on your legs and as soon as you start climbing that first hill undo the seat belt. It's great you almost have to hold yourself in. I can ride it 3-4 times in arow. Usually nice short line cause all the kids don't want to ride some "old slow wood coaster"...... little do they know.Quote:

However, I may just have to find a way to visit Cedar point. 17 Coasters? Damn!
