| | | MSN Top Ten Parks
Msn posted their list of the [URL=http://local.msn.com/special/archive/travel_amusement.asp]Top Ten Amusement Parks[/URL].
How did some of those ever make it into the top ten? IOA isn’t even on there...

| | | What???!!!???? Indiana Beach didn't make the top ten. Those commies how can you not put IB on your top ten list. I mean if it wasn't for Indiana Beach there would only be corn in Indiana.

It was based solely on the editors opinions.

| | | I agree raser, but probably only because I'm an IB whore. Anyways I see why people love it, but I can also see why people wouldn't like IB too. I wanna know about Astroland, Cyclone looks good, but the rest of the rides look like normal rides at any other park.

[B]Yeah, that's one on the worst lists I've seen. [/B][/QUOTE] I concur.
The only park of those that belongs on a top ten list is Cedar Point. Others like Disneyland and Kennywood are good, but not top ten ones. But Carowinds, Astroworld, the Santa Cruz Boardwalk? COME ON PEOPLE! What about Magic Mountain? GADV? IOA? BGW?
