What is the landmark of your homepark?
At Six Flags Great Adventure, I would have to say its the eternal sea of headlights from the line of cars trying to squeeze from 20 lanes into 1 after the park closes.
Either that, or the huge Teepee with the log flume behind it in the Frontier section of the park.

At SFWoA it would have to be SUE, Skyscraper, and the two reverse points of Mind Eraser as viewed while going east on Route 43 towards the park.
And then there's Villain when you reach the parking entrance.

For Cedar Point it used to be Magnum before Raptor and above were built. Now it is Power Tower. It is the first thing you see.

CORKSCREW IS DEFINATLY CP'S SIGNATURE RIDE!! The Corkscrew over the midway is what made CP, the #1 amusement park. CP was #1 long before MF. Also, I would have to agree with whoever said Breakers Hotel.
For (Geauga Lake) it would have to be the needle. For PKI, definatly the Eiffel Tower.

My home park is CP, and i would say the three things that could be the landmark are MF, Magnum or Power Tower. I just thought power tower because it can be seen from a long way and its right in the center of the park.........(for those of you whose home park is CP) what do you think about Space Spiral.

CP in 2002, get to the point

For Knoebels I'd have to say its signature ride has to be the Phoenix. Its the ride that put Knoebels on the map for most people outside the north eastern area of PA.
As for one feature of the park that sets Knoebels apart from other parks has to be it's canopy of trees that engulf the entire park. Also the covered bride that Roaring Creek flows under.

SFStL would either be the huge ferris wheel, Collosus or the beautiful white structure of the Screamin' Eagle running along the back of the park. What a great backdrop, I hope they never ruin it.
I agree that the Sky Jump tower is what makes me think of Knotts. That was a crazy ride! But the tower truly seems like a landmark to me, along with Supreme Scream.

For SFWoA there is alot of landmarks...
1.) S:UE and ME when you are driving to the parking lot.
2.) X-Flight, in the parking lot.
3.) Villain huge woodie(no pun intended) at the front of the park.
4.) Batman's lift right over the entrance, and the ferris wheel over the entrance.
5.) RWB, which looks huge next to the lake on a hill!
6.) Batman from the first view you get when driving towards the parking lot.
7.) ST's lift.
8.) Signature ride: Big Dipper, an ACE classic, or S:UE.:)

For SFGAm it is Columbia Carosel or (if it were still up) Sky Whirl.

I always think fo the Blue Streak when I think of my home park. I just love the coupola at the top of the lift hill.
for sfdl it would probably be the ferris wheel, because it's so huge. but also the sky coaster there is pretty big and it's one of the only ones i can think of that lift you over water. also superman could be too becuase by the main gate is it's first helix and also when your coming down the road it can be seen very well. (on a side note- isn't a little ovbious that s:ros was designed to fit in at sfdl, not as much so at sfa??)
I dont know about the Hotel Breakers being the landmark for Cedar Point, I mean, it has an excellent swimming pool, but hey.. I mean, it's not exactly the first thing that comes to mind when I think of CP.. I would have to say.. maybe.. I might have to say the Power Tower or MF, cuz you can definitely see them both from the Sandusky Bay Bridge on the way over.. usually.. most days you can see them even if its foggy out.
