    Default like omg amusement parks :o

    Amusement parks are seriously about 1/4 of my life All I do at them is ride rides and roller coasters, I'm not a big fan of the events and tourist traps and such

    I also go to county fairs as well. There's two local ones where I live.

    As for amusement parks, all the ones in my state (except for one) are an hour or more away? Uh...yay?

    In my state (Ohio) there's Cedar Point, which is a very cool amusement park, then there's Kings Island, a pretty good theme park, and then there's Geauga Lake, a nice family park. There are also other ones, such as Coney Island and Stricker's Grove.

    I love roller coasters but I also love rides that spin like crazy, xD!

    Are any of you like me and also love amusement parks? >_>

    Amusment parks are fun to go to, only when I have money.

    And even then, its questionable whether I would go to one or not. I typically wont, just because I dont like amusement parks ( except for the ones in vegas )

    I do like roller coasters, but I can't stand anything that spins around. I have really bad motion sickness, so that's a no no.

    Magic Mountain's probably the best thing out here in California, in terms of rides. Goliath rules.

    I enjoy going to Six Flags in St. Louis, even though it's nothing but a giant money trap.

    I'm going to Magic Mountain as soon as I get back to Cali. Best Amusement Park ever.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    I'm not a big fan of water parks, mostly because I'm not that great a swimmer, plus I have vertigo, so climbing up the stairs of a water slide is a no-no for me. I almost fell off the stairs of a water slide once, so no more for me.

    Ironically, there's a water park the next county over called Wyandot Lake, which is a small waterpark. It also has some rides too, and a small roller coaster. The park is owned by Six Flags.

    hershey park has some good coasters.
    I've always wanted to visit that park, along with Kennywood and Michigan's Adventure, just to ride their rides and coasters.

    lyke OMG! I so totally am the rock skipping champion! I would challenge you but seeing as you've been publicly proven to be a mentally deficient sanisfarian-degarmic celandriaz . . . I don't think it'd be very fair for you.

    Cedar Point is the best park (hence it getting voted #1 for like...the 5th yr in a row)

    I <3 Top Thrill Dragster. Damn, I remember when i was there some lady who rode it had her tits fly up right in her face when the thing took off (0-120 in 4 secs). Yeah, it's that fast.

    You also have Millenium Force (great), the Wicked Twister, Magnum (my fav.), and the great wooden Mean Streak.

    Kings Island is also a great park, with quite a few awesome coasters as well (namely Beast, and the incredible Son of the Beast). SotB is the talleast, fastest, and the only wood coaster with a loop in the world.

    I also really like Magic Mountian, which is a very close #2 to Cedar. Golaith is a great coaster, and i also enjoy Riddler's Revenge very much. I just wish i could finally get a freakin chance to ride X.

    Let's see...

    There's Paramount's Great America up in Santa Clara. Awesome stuff, my family has season passes there.

    Six Flags Marine World in Vallejo. Sucks.

    Knott's Berry Farm down south. Wonderful place, and the best fried chicken in the free world.

    Disneyland and Disney World. Obviously awesome.

    Haven't been to Magic Mountain ever, even though I've always wanted to. ;_;

    All else is irrelevant.
