Flagship parks.

Exactly.

PKI is Paramount's flagship park. Paramount has said so several times that I've heard.

How about Universal? Palace?

What about Jeepers! :)

Now I think I really HAVE gone over the edge....happy weekend everyone! :)

SDC and Dollywood are duking it out to be the flagship of HFEC- DW has always had the higher numbers, and is just now starting to add attractions to outclass its Branson sister.

PKI is the flagship park, but PKD is better which makes me think Paramont does not really know what they are doing. In fact, aside from a couple new rides, PKD was better back before the P.

I would say PKI for Paramount, and not just because it's my homepark. I've also been to PCW and PKD and they just don't match up all-around. I went to PCW pre-Tomb Raider, and while it was unique, it wasn't anything to blow you away. There wasn't any ongoing theme to the park. It was just a hodge podge of rides mostly, (however I do remember the midevil areas theme). And PKD, was much the same themewise. Plus, they won't overtake PKI on the thrill factor, IMO, for a while, even with Hypersonic!

Paramount does seem to be improving all these parks, (PCW getting boatloads of thrill rides and coasters over the past 3-4 years, and PKD working on theming, and getting rides like their new TR:TR).

But to me it's not ALL about coasters and thrill rides. I have a toddler and a 4-year old, and PKI has proven themselves time and again on the excellence of their children's areas, (Golden Tickets 4-years running), and while adding new rides and attrtactions, they also continue to give the park a complete facelift, and make it the most enjoyable visit possible.

Paramount - PKI, that one seems obvious to me

SF - Tough one to call, but Great America, Great Adventure, and Magic Mountain seem to be tops on their lists. You could argue either way. Great America has an incredible ride and coaster assortment, and now a soon to be huge waterpark. Magic Mountain has the most coasters, and some of them very unique. But lately the park seems to be faltering with bad moves and questionable CS. Great Adventure seems to be on the right track, and the park is growing very well. All 3 are definitely near the top of the totem pole as far as which are msot important to the company.

PKI without a doubt for paramount. The beast is better than grizzly and hurler combined. Hypersonic in a 150'top hat, big deal. The only ride that pkd has going for them is volcano. We all know that PKI will get the first ever hyper of giga coaster of the chain.

I definitely agree with Volcano. I am not sure about the Giga. Isn't SoB technically a Hyper?

Well if you go by attendance then PCW would be in second slightly behind PKI.

PCW kind of flys below the radar a bit. Doesn't get that much attention from enthusiests, but it has one of the highest attendance numbers amongst seasonal parks.

Kind of helps that it's right next to a population source of millions, and it's only competition is SFDL,Marineland, and Martins Fantasy Island.

Well I should say steel hyper or giga.
