Best Amusement Parks......

**Buckeye221** · 05-29-2007, 04:48 AM

Cedar Point is by far the best. Before I left for the military I took one last trip right when they first open Dragster but it was broke down. So I didn't get to ride it, but I have ridden Millenium force multiple times- definently a rush. Even their old coasters are better then many other parks.

Cedar Point 100%

Almost every year I drive 470 miles one way from Northern New Jersey to ride Cedar Point's coasters.

The rides are incredible. Their maintenance is good. And their safety rating is excellent. Six Flags Great Adventure is 60 miles from here, and I refuse to go to that broken down, inner city ghetto park. Sure Kingda Ka is 30 feet taller than Dragster, but you can't tell the difference when you're on it and G.A. is such an awful place to be.

I've been going to Cedar Point since 1993... since before even the Raptor was there! It's fun to look back at old pictures and park maps. Was also there for the opening of Millennium Force in 2000, as well as Wicked Twister in 2002.

I was just at Cedar Point 2 weeks ago... Maverick was not open yet, they are removing the heart line roll because apparently the g-forces were too great on it. It was OK, got on Millennium Force about 6 times, Magnum about 6 or 7, and did a bunch of quick rerides on one of my favorites... The Gemini.

Oh yah... the Antique Cars are cool.. but the TURNPIKE CARS are better... the little mini Corvettes and Cobras.

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?

+1 I agree with all that you said. We've been to parks all over, except Cedar Point (we will go there eventually). But overall, Hershey is the best experience.

Haha busch gardens, 2 words HOSPITALITY HOUSE lol

**310stanger** · 05-30-2007, 07:57 PM

I can attest that Hershey Park is a great place to see, for both young and old. If you love Hershey's chocolate and would like to see what goes into making all of hersheys tasty treats you'll REALLY love it. I gain about 25 lbs everytime I visit that place lol I also agree that Great Adventure in jersey although has badass coasters, is a ghetto shithole.

cedar point is the best!! last time i was there they had to close the dragster because the top of it was in the clouds!!

**86 IROC-Z** · 05-31-2007, 12:46 AM

Yeah I wish it wasn't so!!!

It wouldn't be the same though if it wasn't located right on Lake Erie as it is.I remember being VERY young going to the beach and seeing boobies EVERYWHERE.

We took some jetskies up there one year......Lake Erie is NO joke!! I found out how large it really is.

**LS2Tuner** · 06-03-2007, 06:26 PM

Flying out tomorrow back east.........

Can't wait to get there and buy a couple hundred dollars of fireworks!!!

That is one of the biggest blows of AZ is NO fireworks period.

I'll be at CedarPoint in 5 days...... I will make sure to take some pics for all you guys that have NO idea of what your missing.

**LS2Tuner** · 06-09-2007, 09:08 AM

Just got back from the POINT at 3 am....... I'll have pics for you all soon!!!

Fuc_ing stood in line for 3 hours 3 different time trying to get on the Maverick...With NO luck!!!

Every FUC_ING time we got close to the platform they would close it due to problems.
I rode Max Air for the first time...... I thought it was BAD A_S!!!
We stayed in a cottage right on Erie in the park it was awsome. Gave everyone a $200 firework show shooting them right over the lake.

It was great GOD I miss going every year..........

Grew up in LA so I've been to every amusement park more than a few times over. MM was my favorite. Me and my bro went every year for 10-15 years just to try the newest rides. Hell I'm old enough to have gone to some parks that are't even there anymore, specifically The Cyclone Racer that was in Long Beach and Pacific Ocean Park (POP) that used to be where the marina is in Marina del Rey. Both were made from wood, went in excess of 60 mph and were built over the water.

**Too Fast** · 06-12-2007, 03:59 AM

Yeah, over the water coasters are some of the best.

**SpeedyZ** · 06-24-2007, 10:56 AM

Cedar Point all the way!

Topfuel!

**AKIRA** · 06-24-2007, 03:51 PM

Six flags!!!!! Ive been feeling a little too tall lately. I heard they got the fix!

**00ssSLP** · 06-24-2007, 04:40 PM

I live in Florida so I've been to a lot of theme parks and I don't like any of them really. Sit and really think about it, you have to stand in long lines sweat your a$$ off for hours and pay Hundreds of dollars to enter and eat.

That's why I like Cedar Point, it really isn't a "Theme Park" like most others. CP puts the $$$ in the rides, not goofy "attractions". We travelled to Disney World in FL 8 years ago and all of us were highly dissapointed with the price, rides, and all the crap they were trying to get you to buy as memorabilia. I can only imagine how much more it would cost....
