Nothing is amazing and unique about Cedar Point & WDW is 6 Parks. WDW would take up the entire top 5 +1.


Hersheypark
Animal Kingdom
Busch Gardens Africa
Islands Of Adventure
Ghost Town in the Sky

In all honesty, CP isn't the most absolutely amazing park on this continent. That is just my opinion though. I have been to a lot of parks and CP just doesn't stand out like that to me.

My top 5 would have to be and not in this particular order either:

Busch Gardens Europe
Islands of Adventure
Idlewild and Soak Zone
Knoebel's
WDW Magic Kingdom

When I think amazing parks I think of places that I have been that made me NOT think of my real life. It took me into another place and submersed me into that park.

I thought the same thing. I would have said Magic Kingdom. It is a nice park but Animal Kingdom is the best. You really feel like your in another country or in the middle of the woods. The park is just so peaceful even with 50,000 people in it and the growth in that park is simply amazing. You really don't see that anywhere.


I fell in love with Hershey the moment i walked in. Not sure what happened but i walked in and suddenly felt happy and had no cares in the world. No other park has ever done that to me.

It's hard to do this for parks I haven't been to before. But here is my list

Busch Gardens Williamsburg/Europe
WDW's Magic Kingdome
Dollywood
SFOG
Holiday world

if i went with parks I have been to i would have added Canobie and Story land on top of Dollywood and Holiday world.

Hey Nobody. I like your capitalization and punctuation. Welcome to a board where we do that.

Busch Gardens Africa
Busch Gardens Williamsburg
Islands of Adventure

The midway of Dorney has swept me away with the great music and views. Timing was great.

I am mostly in busy real time when I visit my homepark SFGADV.
