This is the first year I really traveled to parks outside of PA. We hit the big 3 in Ohio, Holiday World, SFKK,SFNE, SFA, PKD, BGW, Camden, Wyandot, Great Escape, Quassy, Lake Compounce, and the 3 parks that make up Coney Island.
My favorite is still the park I grew up at Knoebels. I just love the scenery in the park with the big pine trees and gravel lined paths. It just resembles the appearance of parks at the turn of the century. I don't think it changed in the 75 years it's been around.
Even if you go and do Pay per Rides Twister is only $2.00 and the Phoenix at $1.50 throw in a round of the bumper cars at .90 the Flyers at .80 and Haunted Mansion at a buck you can have a quick hour of fun for around 5 bucks. That won't even get you into the parking lot at most parks.
