Y'all upset by the park choices don't forget it's just an enthusiast article. Nothing important. Besides we all know Universal and Disney will always own those places anyway.
Disney is really its own thing. I enjoy Disney from a theme park perspective but sadly, it's really the last place I would visit for thrills. Epcot is a snore fest, Magic Kingdom is for children, Hollywood Studios is okay (rides are still boring - Rock 'n' Roller Coaster sucks) and Animal Kingdom while fun is basically a day at the zoo.
My girlfriend loved Disney because she could believe in the themes, for me it was all an illusion and I'm a realist. I was busy pointing out the fake things.
So the point is, this list is for thrill rides, and if your into negative g's then this is a pretty good list. If your in for an illusion (theme) then Disney is your place.
This list works, I'd take Six Flags Great Adventure above the last three Cedar Fair parks but Wonderland is in due to the insane flat collection that makes up for a bunch of terrible filler coasters. Carowinds even with Fury should be out though, Dominion has I305, Hershey has Skyrush+Stormrunner and Great Adventure has Toro, Zumanjaro, and Ka. The last three parks have better coasters past the headliners than Carowinds. Intrimadator 232 has always been considered one of the weakest B&M hypers and Afterburn+Nighthawk are beaten by the other park's depth.
intimidator is considered one of the best hypers i don't know where you're getting your information
Magic Mountain is 1 not 5.
Kings Island is much better than Carowinds and where is Kings Dominion?
Six Flags Ohio and Georgia also deserve a mention but with CedarPoint that makes 6/7, so change it to Top 6/7 and do away with the Canadian crap.
Six flags ohio has been closed for a while now. As well, the top 4 on this list are all owned by cedar fairs. Not saying they r not worthty of the rank (I am a cedar point junky) i just thought this should be brought to attention.
Six Flags Ohio... you just lost all credibility, Paul.
Paul..... "Six Flags Ohio?????" Six Flags let the park go to Cedar Fair in 2004 and was only known as Six Flags Ohio from 2000-2001 so obviously your facts are ancient and you need to revisit some parks.
He said in no particular order. Also, this is best in North America so Canada should be considered for this list. Canada's Wonderland is clearly well-suited to this list: second most coasters in the world (seventeen last season before the closure of SkyRider) and an amazing selection of flat rides, not to mention the atmosphere. I'm not saying it's better than other parks on this list, but it is certainly well placed amongst their ranks. Don't believe me? Come up and check it out for yourself!
I agree. CW is an amazing park. And the thing I like about it is half of the park actually still feels like a theme park. Definitely deserves a spot on this list.
Canada crap!!
Go ride for ride against 99% of parks and see who wins. ..Wonderland.
3rd most coasters - a hyper and higa B&M.
More flat rides than any other park. BOOM
Have you actually been to the one here in Canada. It is pretty amazing. Don't knock it until you've tried it.
Boo hoo, the list isn't what you want it to be.
Newsflash, shithead: No one gives a fuck.
Boo hue hue..
