opinions: Paramount Parks -- positives and negatives

Ok, I'm starting another opinion post. Remember, there are no right or wrong answers here--just give your opinions.

What I'm going to do is list each of the 5 Paramount Parks in the US and list some things I find positive about each, and then list some things I find negative about each. Feel free to give your opinions as well.

Paramount's Kings Island

--positives: large park with some nice theming, good location, water park, kids areas, and Eiffel Tower, Drop Zone, Delirium, Top Gun, The Beast, The Racer, Adventure Express, Flight of Fear, Tomb Raider

--negatives: Son of Beast, lap bars and seat belts on Racer and Beast

Paramount's Kings Dominion (this is the one I've been to the most, so perhaps I'm most critical of this one)

--positives: large park with some nice theming, good location, water park, kids areas, and Eiffel Tower, Drop Zone, Tomb Raider, Volcano: TBC, Avalanche, Grizzly, Rebel Yell, Anaconda, launch coaster selection

--negatives: possibly losing FoF, bad capacity on some of the newer coasters, maintenance of woodies, lapbars and seatbelts on woodies (excluding Scooby Doo), some of the park food

Paramount's Carowinds

There are plenty of opinions in every thread and trip report. We don't really need a survey.
