What is your favorite amusement park or water park?

What is your favorite amusement park or water park?

My two favorites are: Six Flags Fiesta Texas here in San Antonio, and Schlitterbahn Park in New Braunfels.

I and my fiance are going to Six Flags this Saturday for Deaf Day for a day of hardcore fun! We are so excited!

I've been to Noah's Ark quite a few times (I grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin) and it is awesome!

MGM is interesting. I've been to Disney World a couple of times. I liked Magic Kingdom better due to tons of rides.

For Amusement Park -

Cedar Point (I can't get enough of the thrills over there)
Holiday World (Even though it's a small amusement park, I've been going there basically all my life and grew to love the place)

For Water Parks -

Splashin' Safari at Holiday World

Disneyland, baby!

i went there a few times as a kid. it was seriously like i stepped into a magic realm.

does anything beat the original Pirates of the Caribbean? i think not. not to mention the freakin' castle, the Indiana Jones ride and almost everything else. i could spend the rest of my life haunting Disneyland.

also

has anyone heard of Club 33?
it's a secret restaurant/ club in Disneyland with a very exclusive (and super expensive) membership.

for anyone who's been to Disneyland, you may have noticed this conspicuous locked door:


my brother went in once with his super model ex girlfriend and had a $300 lunch.

I haven't been to an amusement park in a coons age, but I'd have to say King's Dominion is probably my favorite. I've also been to Busch Gardens.

Kings Dominion | Virginia's Premier Themed Amusement Park (Richmond)

I was four when we went to Busch Gardens and six when we went to KD. I'll be 40 in Oct. So, yeah... It's been awhile.

if you haven't been to Disneyland, you must drop everything you may be holding onto, place $500 cash in your purse or wallet, run to the nearest airport and take the first plane to LAX, whether or not you have time to buy a ticket. don't wait to get off at LAX and take the train or a cab to Anaheim, just open the doors in the plane and parachute straight into Disneyland.

I've been to Disneyland in California ... it's ok-ok.

Nothing can beat Disney World, Florida.

I like Six Flags Over Texas.

I liked Wet-n-Wild years ago, before they were bought out by Six Flags Over Texas. Now, it's under a different name... Hurricane Harbor.

I went to Disney World when I was 8 years old and Disneyland when I was 13 years old.

I can't really remember what I did at both parks, but I do remember Epcot. That was awesome.

Disneyland is my fave amusement park and also, Knott's Berry Farm. The water park would be Raging Waters!

Disneyland is ok for me, I prefer Disney World over Disneyland...

I had been in Six Flags in several location, my most favorite is Magic Mountain.

For Universal Studio, I had been in Hollywood but never been in Orlando, will do it this year.

I don't have a favorite amusement park or water park because I haven't gone to any for a long time. I will try to catch up in the near future.
