Talking Amusment Parks!

What do you think about amusment parks? Are you a roller coaster maniac? I know i am ...What are you favorite amusment parks? Mine are Disney World, Busch Gardens and Hershey Park! Most likely those who live in different countries might have different parks right? Talk about them! Your favorite rides, roller coasters, food you get there, games, etc.. I just have to say how i love the rides with the giant tickle tummies! < umm, i hope that other people say tickle tummies hehe

Alright, I'll just come out and say it: Cedar Point pwns all.
I've been to Geauga Lake, Kings Island, Kennywood, DollyWood, and the Busch Gardens in Virginia, and...Cedar Point RAWKS!

Millenium Force:

The Mean Streak:

The Magnum XL-200:


One of the greatest things about CP is that they're always competing with other parks to make the biggest and best. This means every few years, there's a new, crazier coaster than all the rest

My favorite ride would probably be the mean streak. Those wussy metal ones can't compete with this. It's over a mile long, with a 165 ft drop, and is guaranteed to shake your liver out by the end. Another great thing is that it often gets passed over by people, so that means very short lines. That way you can ride till your head says "ow."

Another person that has gone to Kennywood! Hah, that place is the greatest. I love their Potato Patch fries, they taste so good... And the Phantom's Revenge is just awesome.

Speaking of Amusement Parks, I just went to Hershey Park, it's pretty neat. Lots of big rides, didn't have time to go on all of them, though.

I'm a roller coaster maniac... I really love it! Sometimes, I go to LaRonde an amusement park in Montreal owned by Six Flags. Last year, they opened a new roller coaster, the Goliath. It's highest part is 53 meters high and drops 52 meters and its speed is about 110 km/h. It's currently the highest and fastest in Canada.
