I have been to all 10 and Disneyland wins hands down. The MK is my least favourite as it is so inferior to Disneyland, it is not even funny.
Disneyland is the best theme park, without it there be no other Disney parks or any other theme park, it's the grandfather of them all!
Unless you have really young kids, alot of money or are a fanatical about fairy tales then I really dont Disney worth it. Epcot is nice but they made test track less fun and food/admissions are becoming so pricy! Id go with Seaworld or Busch Gardens I never get tired with Busch ... its reasonable price fpr what you get, awesome shows, rollercoasters, some water rides and food is worth the price you get a good portion .. the park is filed with to much to do, theres no way you can do everything in one day-totally worth a season pass...
I have been to both Magic Kingdom and Disneyland and Disneyland is definitely better. Space Mountain is longer and faster, Pirates has Captain Jack Sparrow, Indiana Jones ride is one of the best, Matterhorn bobsleds is so much fun to ride especially at night, and Halloween through Christmas the Haunted Mansion is turned into the Nightmare Before Christmas with Jack and Sally which I love! Also, the rides are closer together so you don't have to walk so far to your next one and you can walk right across the way to California Adventure unlike Magic Kingdom where you have to take a bus to each park.
Pirates of the Caribbean in Orlando also has Jack Sparrow.
Being a born and raised a Buckeye, I LOVE Cedar Point and sing its praises to all my friends out here in New England where we've relocated. But is it classified as a theme park or an amusement park? And is there a difference? I think of Cedar Point as more of an Amusement Park (lots of rides but not really built around a theme). I know it's got Frontier Land but there's not a central theme like the parks listed here.
I agree with the other comment that said if Cedar Point, located in Sandusky, Ohio, were able to be open year round, then it would make the list for sure. The rides are amazing, the park is clean, the food is great, and there's a beautiful landscape next to Lake Erie and beaches. Cedar Point is the best!
Disneyland Park Forever!
Um all 10 parks in the top 10 in attendance are located in warm weather cities. They are all open 365 days a year. Cedar Point and I'm sure most 6 flags parks are open May thru Oct. and only on the weekends in Sept & Oct. For that reason it should come as no surprise that they don't make this list.
Magic Kingdom is the best.
