Top 50 Parks

I like apples and oranges the same. When I am at the grocery store, I sometimes buy the bag that has both in it. This has become a very fruity topic.

I love Cedar Point as much as the next Northeast Ohioan, but I'll take any of the Disney or Universal parks in Florida first any day.

I agree with this 100%. I love Cedar Point as much as anyone, and spend 25-30 days there. But CP is solidly #10 on my list. I would take the Busch Parks (BGW would be my #1), HersheyPark, and all of the Florida Parks over CP if travel time and money were no issue.

I agree with Gonch, y'all are thinking about this way too hard. Why must it be so difficult?

Because I'd have to rank Disneyland from 1989 (and rode Submarine Voyage), Kings Dominion from 2005 (when they closed all the rides because it was thundering somewhere in VA so I only got to go on 4 rides), Lakewood Park from the 60s and 70s (are defunct parks allowed?) and Knoebels from last Sunday.

The hell with it-- Williams Grove #1, baby!

How is that any different than rating anything?

I had a crappy rotten orange once, but that doesn't mean I like oranges any less.

You can base it on an amalgamation of all visits, or you can update it each time you go to reflect your most recent visit. There's no wrong way because it's strictly your opinion.

I would just rate MiA #1 and Charmland #2 and be done with it. Except, it would be nice to have the best ghetto park and maybe the park with the most basketballs bouncing around hitting geusts category as well.

RGB, you really don't have to do anything, but isn't it the same as rating coasters? Myself, I have to rate Chaos at Opryland from when I was a child and Raven at Holiday World from this past year. I am just not buying that it is that difficult.

Maybe there is a winkie in there that I did not see.

How do you know that's not the same way I rate coasters? Well, when I used to go through the bother of rating coasters. Just be glad I didn't go into the which parks serve Coke and which ones serve Pepsi argument.

I use the "which parks have received money for Pepsi" argument.

I like that I don't have to order my casters from #1 to #...(goes to check track record in profile...) 152. I like that I can quickly determine if a coaster deserves a one, two, three, four, or five from me. The same would be cool for all the parks I have been to. It wouldn't have to be complicated at all, unless you wanted it to be.

Just for fun, Kings Island, BGT and BGW, and Magic Kingdom would all be among the parks I would give a five. Six Flags Worlds of Adventure would be among the parks with the lowest score of one or two.

You rate casters? Now that would be tough for me. Can't say I'm much of a caster enthusiast, although I admit some roll much more easily than others.

At least he doesn't rate them defiantly...

When I mentioned Apples and Oranges I'm just saying some like Apples, other like Oranges, many prefer both. Just as some Enthusiasts like Wood Coasters, others like Steel Coasters, and many prefer both. Thats why I seperate the categorys. ;)

Its rediculous what happens to certain threads here on CasterBuzz.

I am defiantly a caster enthusiast as well. ;)

Lost Kraus loves casters

People over-complicate

Ratings don't matter

If rating parks was
Such a good thought it would have
Already been done

Sadly, you did not.

But you did a right fine job

Of fixing it now.
