Pretend you're a park fanboy for a park that has no fanboys

Just as the title says, pretend you're a fanboy for parks that don't really have fanboys. We've got people who say Cedar Point is the best, Great Adventure can't be beaten and Carowinds rocks your face off.

Well, now's your time to pretend Castles 'n' Coasters is better than Disneyland, that you'd drive past Holiday World to get to Coney Island, in Ohio, and you'd marathon the kiddy drop tower at Adventure City because Supreme Scream at Knott's sucks.

The Blue Flash, built by John Ivers, is a good coaster. The design is flawless and rides silky smooth. I could take a nap on this coaster. I would reca...recomm..............OMFG I can't do it. The coaster dislocated my knee on the first drop and then relocated it in the loopscrew. Blahhhhhhhhh I can still taste the blood and puke mixture.

What pretense do I need? Oh, a small, not-known-well park ok.

Dude, The rudicoaster at Santa's Land in tennessee is awesome!! It's got so much air and these really surprising drops, it's so cool. Other people tell me there are better rides out there, but I've yet to go on another coaster better than the rudicoaster. If I had a choice between Santa's Land and Dollywood, I choose Santa's Land.

I don't know what the deal is with Busch Gardens Tampa (I REFUSE to call it "Africa!"). It's a bland, treeless corporate park with nothing but one-trick rides. Montu doesn't go underground enough! SheiKra only has that vertical drop! Gwazi is SUPPOSED to duel but doesn't! Kumba's trick is that the loop goes through the lift hill, but who cares?! Riddler does that.

I visit Florida at least five times a year, and I skip Busch Gardens every time for Celebration Station. I also visit IOA, but it's just OK.

Celebration Station has everything. Minor Mike is an awesome coaster for beginners, families and coaster enthusiasts. It's surrounded by housing and is only about 1 mile east to the Old Tampa Bay (not the park, the body of water) or west to the Gulf of Mexico. You can't beat that.

Nothing's better than my Celebration Station.

Yeah I hate PKI too. They took out The Ghoster Coaster, which in it's self was worth the admission price. Plus now that SOB is shutdown there is no help for the future. And those losers that say tear down SOB...have they never ridden a good woodie?

Fun Spot is the bomb! I don't care what anyone says, the Pinfari Z47 and Arrow shuttle looper have to be two of the most underrated coasters of all time, and Fun Spot has them both!

Fiesta Texas like is the best SF park in the chain in terms of appearance, scenery, and overall park atmosphere....better than all the other SF parks. SKC is the tallest, fastest, and best floorless coaster ever!

Oh wait, I'm supposed to say something that is not true.

Frontier City is like the greatest park ever....we got two coasters that are like two of the world's tallest coasters ever at 80 feet and a shuttle coaster that like blasts you from 0-44 MPH! Our three coaster obliterates any and all other coaster collection in creation! Just be very lucky and get to the park when there's no severe weather that shuts down the park like half the summer and you'll enjoy the greatest park ever.

Dude, Tahoe Family Fun Park? Nothing else compares.

No but seriously, they have this kick ass slide that straight up owns. And the Roller Coaster? Plz....it has nothing on these mainstream popular rides.

But Yellowstone actually is awesome enough to not need rides.
No, really. That was the one vacation I ever took that didn't involve roller coasters and I was perfectly happy with it.

On with the show...

What's this whole "Cedar Point" thing? Adventureland New York is my kind of park. Their safety record is better than that of any other park! I've only broken my arm FOUR TIMES there!

Not to sound like an idiot, but you are kidding right? How can a roller coaster freakin dislocate your knee? I can see how it hurt your neck, back, or even make you sick, but....your KNEE? WTF?

I drove past Cedar Point to visit the best ever park, Vollmer's Park. The best coaster ever was there with its 20 foot lift, and top speed of 8 mph.

LOL!

Well, anyway, it's all about Geauga Lake. Steel Venom is way better than Wicked Twister because it was the first Impulse. And they have three wooden coasters. Cedar Point only has two. Lame. Dominator > Mantis. And Thunderhawk is definitely better than Raptor. I mean...Raptor is not over water like Thunderhawk. And Thunderhawk's yellow and orange colors are better.
