The 7th largest park chain?

The biggest 6 would be Six Flags, Cedar Fair, Disney, Paramount, Busch, and Universal. Who if any would place as the 7th largest?

-----------------
=========================
"The Peoples Elbow" or "The Spinaroonie?. Cant decide which is the most electrifying move in sports entertainment!!! LOL

Maybe the Kennywood Entertainment Company? THey have several parks.

-----------------
Save Cheese on a stick!

Herco...Hersheyparks holding co.

Which parks does Herco own other than Hershey Park?  I seem to remember them picking up Dutch Wonderland, or I may just be zoning out.

Any others?

 

Kennywood Entertainment owns or operates 4 parks -- Kennywood, Sandcastle, Idlewild, and Lake Compounce.

Kennywood, and deservedly so.  I'd LOVE to see the "other" chains start gobbling up smaller parks the way SF has been doing for almost 30 years...competition is good for...US!

Actually, I would think "Jeepers!" would be bigger with all their amusement centers (hey they *do* all have a rollercoaster!)

Funny, 2Hostyl, I guess we DO need to define the term largest.  I like the idea of total trackage, but that's only because I am an enthusiast.  Probably defined by the gate...

Python Pit is the best!!!!!!!;)

Isn't Alton Towers owned by the same people/company as a few other parks in Britain?  They're probably bigger than KP if that's true, I'm not sure, though.

"Reality" is the only word in the language which should always be used in quotes.

What about the Silver Doller City Company. I think they own some parks.(SIlver Dollar City, Dollywood), maybe more than that but i don't know.

SDC owns 3, Stone Park in Ga. i think?

Alpha Smart Parks? They own Castle Park and Jazzland, and maybe others.

There's a chain in Europe called Loeffelhardt which has Miribilandia in it. Not that I know any of the other parks, but it may be up there.

How about HW, they own just one, HW.lol

anyways doesn't the people who own alton towers own like a couple other brtitan parks like thrope park

The same chain that has Alton Towers also has Drayton Manor and Thorpe Park. Don't quote me on that though...

What would life be like without coasters?
A big ball of poo!

oh sorry

I think it is the chain in Europe, like others have said. I think they have 4-10 parks in Europe. They have Alton Towers, and Thorpe Park, but I can't remember the others.

-----------------
Bull rides: 103
Batman rides: 61

I believe the order is:

Disney, Six Flags Parks, Cedar Fair, Universal, Bush, and Paramount
