Cabs are expensive.
Nitro, have you tried renting a car? Some places will charge a little more, and ask for a deposit, and require some more ins (it can get pricey) if you're under 25. How old are ya?
Cabs get very expensive quickly...
And rental cars, while still the obvious choice for those of us over 25, haven't been available at the absurdly low rates they had been (once got a car for SRM trip for 15 a day, ROFL)....I think the rental car companies may have caught on to us... ;)
The shuttle/public transportation thing (buses, subways, etc.) is the best if possible. Most major cities that have attractions such as amusement parks, zoos, etc. usually offer several options in getting there from the airport and are MUCH cheaper than a cab.

It was about $150 for the 8 days, after all the taxes, ins. and fees. We put 1000 miles on it in 8 days. I'd say they might re-think giving us unlimited mileage again (were we supposed to drive to Vegas and go out of state? I dunno, but I'm sure we didn't tell them. Or about that parking ticket @ mooshe's ;)).
I could have rented the same thing for about $200. Thankfully, I'll not have to worry about paying more after Oct. 21st.
Other than that, I'd go with taking super shuttles to Hotels with park shuttles near semi-urban parks. This could potentially get you to BGT, IOA, Walt Disneyworld, Disneyland, Knotts, SFMM, SFGam, Pcarowinds, SFA, etc.
Parks in the boonies or in New England, not so much. probably wouldn't work for HW, IB, Compounce, SFNE, etc.
OR, you could post here where you want to go and see if any buzzers at your destination would want to pick you up at the airport and join you at the park in exchange for admission/lunch/other misc. financial remuneration.

You can get to several parks in England via public transportation from Gatwick or Heathrow.
There is train station at LaRonde, so you should be able to get there via trains from YUL
You can fly into DFW and take the LaQuinta Shuttle to the hotel. You can walk to SFOT from the hotel or take the Arlington Trolley that runs from the nearby Arlington hotels to the park.

Honestly, I'd rather go back to SFoT than ANY other 10+ coaster megapark I can think of....THAT good! :)
Didn't realize the airport was "right there" though...I flew into SAT.
