Ever Seen a Park from a plane?

I flew over Elitch Gardens when I was leaving Denver. It looked really crap and I'm glad I never went.

It's judgement day for SFWOA at http://www.coastergrotto.zzn.com

How about from a train? Great views of Cedar Point from across the bay, and also great views of Kennywood from across the river.

Parks for 2001:
PKD,PKI 3x, CP 2x
SFKK 2X, SFOG, SFStL,SFWOA, SFGAM,SFGADV
HOLIDAY WORLD 2X, INDIANA BEACH 2X, Kennywood, Lakemont, Knoebels

Last time I flew out of Atlanta (to Columbus) the plane did a big 90 degree turn around SFoG. I got to look at it for a good 2 minutes and could pick out all of the coasters.

I have probably flown over 50 Amusement parks including Cedar Point whic is an awesome sight to look at from the air. The reason why i've flown over so many amusement parks is because my uncle owns small cessna.

I saw SFOT while flying in to DFW in May.... Kind of neat not really looking for it and having no idea where it was in relation to Ft. Worth and then all the sudden seeing it... Only wish I could have gone....

You could walk to Kentucky Kingdom from the Louisville airport, so that one's pretty hard to miss.

If you fly into Hobby airport in Houston, there's a good chance you'll be able to spot Astroworld.

Well never from a plane, but the 6 years I spent in the military I flew over a few park's including SFOG a bunch of time's in a helicopter very low where you can see the faces on some coasters, most people wave but you do see alot of middle fingers also.

I saw Magic Mountain from a flight between San Jose and San Diego. It was so small, I could hide it with my thumb.

"I am cwushink yore hed!"

Yeeee Haaawwww!

You can see Disneyland/DCA when flying into John Wayne Airport (Orange County). Not from directly overhead, but from the side.

I was looking for SFOT when flying into/out of DFW, but I must have been on the wrong side of the plane.

"X" marks the spot in 2001! *** This post was edited by Soggy on 8/13/2001. ***

Flew over SFGAm many years ago in a small Piper. Was a cool sight. It was close to dark so the lights were coming on. Same flight we went down Lake Michigan and flew over Soldier Field, right after a Sunday night game. It was also July 3rd, so we landed and then hung around and watched the fireworks from a distance in the plane, very cool.

Any resemblance to living or
dead people is purely coincidental.

Ive seen SFOT flying into DFW. It was during landing so you were close enough to the ground to see the larger rides actually running.

No...but I've seen planes from a park.

Roll-O-Plane Rules!!!

I've seen PGA many, many times and I've seen SFMM once at night leaving burbank, it was quite a sight to behold with S:TE lit up and Goliath and Colossus lit up together. Viper was also barely visible and I know riddler has light on the lift hill, but it was no where to be seen. *** This post was edited by goliath on 8/13/2001. ***

WHen i flew over CP it was april so there was no grass and no foliage so the park looked weird.

No, I didn't take them or have anything to do with them. Got the link from Screamscape.

Enjoy.

I saw SFEG while flying from Aspen to Denver. I can't believe that they put so much in so little a space!

I didn't fly over CP, but I was driving on I-80/90 and I could see MF's first drop. that's all I saw, but it was really cool.

Nobody has said it yet, but I got to see one edge of BGT while flying into Tampa. The only thing I could see was Montu, and the footers were very bright!

Just a few weeks ago I remember seeing PGA after taking off from San Jose Airport, although the only rides i saw were Invertigo and Drop Zone.
