I have a choice of going to one of these parks wich are Sixflags america and paramounts kinds dommainon (how ever you spell or say it) anyways im not sure wich one i should go to. i can only go to one so it has to be worth the wild i am only 3hrs from SFA and about 5 or 6hrs from PKD but KD looks better with hyper sonic and then SFA looks better with batwing so im trying to think wich would be better ? if anyone has any tips on eather parks or who has been to both wich is worth going to this season? and dose anyone know how many hrs Bushgardens williamsburg and Kinds domainion are apart from each other? or how about SFA and PKD ? if you undertsnad what im trying to say thnaks for any type of tip you have.

Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens are about an hour apart. If you want just thrill rides with not much atmosphire go to Kings Dominion. If you want to experience what a real park is drive the extra hour to BGW. Neither park is bad, and they like SFA have their good points and bad, it just depends what you are looking for in a park. You really won't go bad with any of the three parks, but I would recommend Busch over the others.

If it's a coaster and it works I'll ride it

I'd go to SFA. They have a launched(like H:XLC), a hyper(like Apollo's Chariot) and they have a flying coaster, which neither BGW or PKD have. I wouldn't go to PKD (because of the 4 hour wait for Hypersonic and it's a 17 sec. ride) and I wouldn't go to BGW(because it only has 4 coasters and they're all steel, but they're all good)

i agree with cyclone master. go to SFA!!!

Well, if it were me, I would go to PKD. It looks better to me and think about it. If your farther away from PKD than you are to SFA, the likliness of you ever getting the chance to go to PKD is less likely than SFA.

Goonsta has it all wrong! SFAm is the WORST park when it comes handing crowds or even, non crowds. I was there today and they have to reguard for the desires of their guests. First of all I rode batwing. AWESOME. BUT! i had to wait an hour. the wait doesnt bother me when they are actually runnign more than 1 train. SFAm constructed 2 loading stations for Batwing to handle crowds, yet only 1 side and 1 train out of 3 were functionion. I blame it totally on employee laziness. I saw 3 employees, enough to operate the other side just sitting there sleepin. THAT MAKE ME SOOOO MAD. Next i ran to superman. To my suprise (not really) it was closed alll day. WHY? i dunoo they're werent any employees to tell us. I say people working on 1 of the trains? Why not run the other 1, it is the 2nd best ride n thew park why not run it, even with 1 train. They didnt even make 3 trains for a 3 minutes ride. WHY? I also rode Renegade River. I waited an hour for a CRAP river rapid ride. They were removing a car so they shut down the ride for like 45 minutes, just after having a daily water break. GET THIS there is a permenant sign for a daily water break. WOULD BGW ever have that. The water break is prob so the employees can pick their noses for an hour. Since there was a loooong line, why just not seat people on the faulty car instead of pissing like 150 people off. We had a chant, "SIX FLAGS SUCKS." going for like 5 minutes. I rutinely find myslef going to the park and having half of the rides broken. WHY? CUASE THE STAFF SUCKS. i NEVER have that problem with any other park. SFAm is my home park yet i despise it. they nees competent employees, shade, intelligence and theme. They have a tycoon seacoaster. THAT ride could kick royal A but becuase sif flags is soo cheap it isnt themed at all. if i twere completely enclosed and like haunted house themeing it would rock. BUT NO! ALso i wanted to ride it but they were only running 6 boats on like a 9 minute ride. THAT SUCKS. i tried to ride two face but it broke TWICE.

i like roller coasters

neither go to the best Cedar Point

I went to CedarPoint last summer (00) so it looks like kings domain should be the choice? im ganna see if i cant stop at SFA on my way to kings domain but its still up in the air becuase i wanna hear some more comments.

I would rather visit Paramount's Kings Dominion because the environment there is better. Although Six Flags America has awesome coasters, I don't like how they maintain the park so much. It's pretty awesome, but Paramount's Kings Dominion is more worth it. They have Hypersonic XLC!

if you like having items stolen, racist comments yelled at you, rides that work every once in a while, and people telling you where you can and cannot sit on a ride ( batwing) then goto SFA...

It's apparent to me why SFA's employees are the way they are. People like you that go there and start trouble because things don't go your way. When a ride is broken, it's broken. END OF STORY. Superman is a hyper. Because of its speed, the lazy employees (yes, even the maintenance crew are lazy in your eyes), have to repack wheel bearings and inspect the ride a little more frequently. CRY ABOUT IT. You just plain hit the nail on the head about Batwing's 1 train operation though. Yep, the employees were sleeping, thus causing 1 train operation. Oh yeah, I forgot, the lazy ride op's were just resting their eyes after a long day of working on sensor synchronization and general prep for that second train. OOPS, they know what their doing. There's alot more than you can possibly imagine behind running a theme park. I must say, it's people like YOU that ruin parks for others. If i were an employee, i would treat you like crap too....
