We used to go to Sea World every summer when I was growing up. I didnt know if it would be considered an Amusement park either, thats why I didnt list it. LOL

I thought CP was best, but Kings Island was close because of less lines

Been to CP, Hershey Park, Kings Island, Six Flags Great America, Busch Gardens, Sea World, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Disney World. Favorite is by far CP because it has a ton of "grown-up" rides that decidedly don't suck.

It would be a lot easier to name the parks I haven't been to. I'm a big coaster/theme park junkie and like to try and visit a new amusement park every year. Out of all, Cedar Point is my favorite then i'd say Six Flags Great Adventure (NJ) and Busch Gardens (VA).

I do miss Geauga Lake, easily the 2nd best amusement park in Ohio before all the changes/ownership. It's sad to see what it is today.

My favorite is Disneyland, easily. Probably based on childhood memories (went a few times a week one summer), the overall experience, and Pirates. Cedar Point sucks in my experience because the lines/wait are waaaaay too long.

The best parks all depends on what you are going there for. Growing up we made annual trips to both CP and KI. CP is far and away the best for coasters and thats all I do when I go there. Kings Island always had good shows and decent coasters. So when we went to KI, we watched more shows and rode a few rides plus the free water park is a huge bonus.

Going to Disney Land/World, you go there for the "Disney Experience" The themed rides, the shows. Disney isnt a coaster enthusiasts park, but it does have fun rides and the park hotels are nice.

Geauga Lake/Six Flags Ohio had a couple good coasters. The Batman and X Flight are something CP doesnt have. XFlight is now in Kings Island and Batman is at Kings Dominion. Plus the lines were very very short.

I would love to go park hopping to ride coasters. Might have to start that since my boy is tall enough to ride the 48 inch coasters.
