Went swimming in boomerang bay......also for a 22 dollar discount on each admission ticket go to guest services and give them this code 290106

is this the one in san jose. If so it is def appreciated cuz right now there are like literally no lines for the rides.

i got bored of great america but u cant beat their price...like when they temporarily have that $45 for a season pass. i never got to ride on stealth which people have told me was the GOAT roller coaster. i remember going during my 6th grade graduation and waiting in line for it, and the next year it got taken out

. top gun is the @#$% tho

whattt???? why'd they get rid of the best ride ever??

I thought stealth was overrated...

 

[nawghtyhare]

I was talkin bout the one near San Jose in Cali........but I been hearing some good things bout six flags magic mountain I'm def planning a trip out thatway for next month

 

[cragmatic]

Just checked out the site for Magic Mountain... looks VERY similar to Cedar Point..

They have the flying ride at MM but other than that CP has the slight edge due to Maverick, Millennium, and The Top Thrill Dragster

Magic Moutain

Get prepared for lines though. And if you stand in line for Superman.......DONT

Six Flags Magic Mountain >> _________

Once again your statement is wrong

what makes Cedar Point so awesome?

 

[cragmatic]

Like I said.. looking at the site for Magic Mountain... looks REAL similar to CP

a lot of the rides appear to be basically Carbon copies of each other

Millennium force and Top Thrill Dragster easily give it a slight edge tho.

Last time I went to an amusement park was 2 years ago

 

[freshly snipes]

Damn, I haven't been to Great America in about 8 years. I copped one of those season passes one year BACK in the day and that @!*@ was pretty legit.There's always some hot little mami's roaming around that place.

 

[m0b deep]

i was there on sunday it was okay. i think six flags DK is better tho. rode every ride except drop zone haha i still cant pull my self together to ride that

Top Thrill Dragster looks

Worlds of Fun > ________


Mamba = one of the fastest, tallest roller coaster, obviously beat by Top Thrill Dragster

, but it is 11 years old

Six Flags America in MD is garbage, I prolly wouldnt even go there for free anymore

I've been to quite a few amusement parks and nothing is topping Cedar Point. I grew up about a hour away(Toledo) and I never realized how nice C.P. wasuntil i visited other parks.

 

[blackchiney06]

How is Sea World or Busch Gardens in Orlando? My moms actually won a trip for 4 a while back and it's in like 3 weeks. I heard Sea World actually hasdecent rides nowadays.

 

[throwedindagame]

My Fav ride



I've realized that untill you've been to Great Adventure, Cedar Point, or Magic Mountaint you really have not been on extreme rollercoasters. I need tocheck out those parks.

I thought I was doing it with Mr. Freeeze in Six Flags over Texas. Still my favorite ride, even If I've been on taller ones

 

[guttagetsbusy]

Orlando FTW

Got plenty options !@%$%

 

[nealraj006]

Islands of Adventure and Busch Gardens

I live in Orlando, so you already know that I know about amusement parks. I've been a good deal of them here, I haven't tried out a few though. Maybewhen it cools down...

[giantsytigers]

I miss the stealth ride... That was a dope ride

 

[jordanpp30]

Ive been to Six Flags MD, Kings Dominion VA, Universal Studios & IOA, Busch Gardens Tampa, and Cedar Point.


Cedar Point is definitely GOAT. Busch Gardens Tampa is VERY nice though.
