What is your favorite park and why?

I have a tie between Dollywood and Universal Studios Orlando. I love that both of them use a ton a scenery. Dollywood is a good home park for me... I'm used to the country and it's basically what I grew up around so Dollywood makes me feel at home the most. Univesal is definitely a good getaway from the country lol. It puts me in a completely different atmosphere that I'm not used to and offers some more thrilling rides than Dollywood. I'm just now starting to travel to different parks like I want to so this MIGHT change when i start visiting more parks.

I have never been to Dollywood, but it sounds nice.

Favorite park(s):

Epcot - Relaxing and yet has some thrills. It is a great all around park.

Cedar Point - For strait up thrills. (I will be there next week. I hope Maverick is running, it was down all day last year when I was there.)

USF and Busch Gardens - For thier Halloween events (Tapley, you should try to get to BG for Howl-O-Scream this year before the new owners mess it up.)

Honorable Mention - Kings Island (Love the Beast - best wooden rollercoaster)

My parks are heavily weighted towards Ohio and Florida, I have been to parks in NC, CA, Vagas, and GA, but the ones I mentioned are my favorites.

I still haven't been to Cedar Point and I want to sooo bad!

LOL! Let's hope these new owners don't mess up BG. I haven't been but the parks look great and that's the same parks I want to see when I go for my first time. This year was my first time hearing about BG's Howl-O-Scream event... there was one last year wasn't it?

BIG NEWS! I'm going to Kings Island for my first time this Saturday! I'm so excited. It's going to be a one day trip so hopefully I can get everything in on one day [crosses fingers]

Have a great time at KI. As I sait in my previous post, the Beast is the worlds greatest wooden coaster. Son of Beast is brutal, though I haven't ridden it since they took the loop out, I hope it is smoother.

Also, if you like R&R coaster, ride Flight of Fear.

Howl-o-Scream has been going on for quite a few years. Universal started HHN, I think in 91, and Busch Gardens followed a few years later.

Have a great time

Well, Disneyland of course, but that goes without saying, that and USH are kind of in an eschelon above others, so I don't necessarily count those......

I think my favorite theme park I have ever been to had to be, it's a close call between SF Fiesta Texas and SFOT.......they are both really really awesome. I dunno, I'm a Texas girl at heart though, so maybe it just pulls at my southern roots heart strings, lol. They have the best wooden coasters there, the wooden rides are my favorites, they always have been. I think my fav woodie is Ghost Rider at Knotts. I'm embarassed to say I don't remember Texas Giant that well at all.

I know I mentioned these parks numerous times on the show... but, I live by a mixed agenda anyway.

Disneyland is the best park on the planet; it has everything! Hightest Qualtiy Design. As for straight up amusement parks though - It has to be Cedar Point (I know... fall in-line with the rest of the lemmings!).
