Wonderland is the only Paramount Park i have yet to visit, Hopefully i will make it way up there in the next few years.

Carowinds is a nice park, can't say the nicest since i have not seen Wonderland but alot nicer that PKD & PGA.

Carowinds - Wonderland is the only parmount park i've been to. I've grown up going to it. I love it. By the looks of the carowinds website...the parks rides look very different. You guys seem to have alot more coasters.... We have alot....but alot of other thrill rides that are popular as well... Wonderland will be well worth the drive here. I promise you. I ALWAYS see license plates in the parking lot from all over Canada and the states.

I left PKI out cause it's nicer than PKD, PGA & PC.

We do have a nice collection of coaster but are park is seriously lacking in the flat (thrill) rides dept. We need some big thrills and soon.

PCW has an awsome collection of flats, thats why i really want to go. The coasters too of course.

I wonder how far of a drive that would be.... I think i would rather fly. I have done the 9 hour drive to Cedar Point numerous times and thats about the longest i'm willing to drive.

oh lord........I just looked on Mapquest......and it estimated a driving time of 13 hours and something. It would porbably be ALOT cheaper to fly!!
Yeah we've got some awesome thrill rides. The park is really clean too. Which i appreciate....i'm a germaphobe.....lol I hate anything dirty....well.....most things dirty.

LOL, 13 hours huh. Not as bad as i thought, i was thinking more around 15 or more.

Maybe i could make a drive there just make a week out of it and hit Cedar Point while i'm at it. Unless CP is a ways from PCW and in another direction.

Welcome aboard Rachel!

I have a moderate interest in coasters and parks, but my main hobby is with atmospheric science and the weather.

I also haven't had the chance to visit very many parks, but hopefully sometime down the road.

I'm originally from southern Texas, so my primary experiences is with the Texas and surrounding parks (we do have several), so if you'd like, maybe you might also giving our parks a try. Two of the parks are quite embedded in our historical traditions.

I do occasionally chase tornadoes, especially if there is a major storm nearby; it can be quite exciting.
