I guess i should have said before. I haven't been to Six Flags at all this season. I have no real reason to go. I've been on all the rides except Deja Vu and V2 at least 50 times; don't have any desire to ride them any more than the once I did.
I did talk to some people who went and they said the park was very crowded. I just remember from the 2000-2001 seasons when you could ride Raging Bull 4-5 times in an hour. I loved it! But now I don't even want to go to the park. Oh well, I will be returning to Cedar Point next season either way.

I really like my home park of Martins Fantasy island, but a lot of other people do not like the park from what i have heard recently.. i try not to over-visit my home park so that its still enjoyable
SFDL is really boring though, all they keep getting is stupid upcharge attractions, they really need some new flat rides, they had the same exact flat rides from when i was there in like 1998, no new ones at all, cept for twister, but thats a major attraction in my book, they have SROS but i dont really want to ride a coaster all day, i like a little variety, Predator pretty much sucks now, and i wont ride the 2 vekoma's cause of the headbanging, viper is just ok
Im not sure if PKD can get to be any more of a bore to me! They got their selection of great rides and all, but IMO, they really lack something big.
It seems that they go to a company with something new, and build the cheapest/smallest version possible so they can just slap a "First in the World" thing on it until some park builds a modified version that is 100x better. Volcano is very unique, but i would take an impulse instead.
PKD seems to have extremely low capacity, and while i really like hypersonic, it wasnt a good addition to the park. Mostly speaking for myself when i say it, but they need a Hyper. For the capacity mostly.
If anyone living within 30mins of CP, SFGA, SFGAdv, SFMM, or IoA would like to trade places, just let me know!

Cedar Point is a tradition if you live in Southeast Michigan or Northwest Ohio.
I am 22 years old and have been to Cedar point at least 15 of those years. The place is intoxicating.
I can never get enough. In fact saturday Kneemeister and I spent an entire day doing stuff at the park that we haven't done in years and years.
-----------------
All I need is 4.5 million bucks and a half a mile long sliver of land and maybe someone could build me my very own Shivering Timbers. ;)
It scary to think how many times I've been to SFDL this summer and usually have not been bored. Instead, I just enjoy all the walk-ons and re-rides of the rides I enjoy. I don't really seem to mind the lack of more than one or two good coasters. That could change next year, however when I go to a bigger park than SFDL for the first time... By the end of the season I'll probably have racked up 10 visits to the park.

Six Flags Marine World.......home to the new "not so vertical anymore" V2!
All you lucky people!!! I live in Oklahoma City, so my homepark is Frontier City. I can't stand that park, THEY HAVE THE GAYEST RIDES!!! I think like a good mine train coaster could easily help this park out. All we have is a Schwartzkoph Looping Star model, Arrow Shuttle Loop, a standard S.D.C. coaster, and an OK wooden rollercoaster, Wildcat.
I'v been to both SFMM and SFGAm and i would rather have SFGAm as my home park, I just loved Shockwave, even though i got off with a small headache. And out of the three B:TR i have been on, SFGAm's is definantly the best.
My home park is Michigan's Adventure. I think its a good park for its size. I love riding ST its my favorit wooden roller coaster. Corkscrew is the worst ride. Wolverien Wildcat is an alright ride. Zach's Zoomer is real fun for a junior coaster and Mad Mouse is a nic one too. I like a couple of flat rides they got too.
Even though MIA is my home park i visit Cedar Point more, and this year i went twice. My favorite rides there are MF, Magnum, Mean Streak ( Splien Shrink ), Raptor, Mantis, and Power Tower drop. I only hate one ride there and its the Cedar Creek Mine Ride, I found it to be very boring.
I would like to visit both parks more, and maybe make a visit to Six Flags Great America. But in my case i can't drive yet and my parents ain't ones to travel.

Are You Ready!?
I just haven't been to Lakeside enough. Three times total since 2000, I think.

TOGO!
My home park is PKI. I love the park. It's a tradition for me to go there. I've been going since I was 1 year old in 1980. I don't remember going that young, I just know this because I have pictures. I see lots of faults with the park and haven't really enjoyed it as much since Paramount took over. But other than the few problems, I still get a special feeling going in and knowing where everything is, what's changed, what's going on, and then being surprised by something.
Granted, I've gone to Cedar Point at least twice a year regularly since Raptor was built and have fallen in love with that park. It's not my home park and has a distinctively different feel for me when I go there. I sometimes wish it was my homepark, but if PKI is what I'm stuck with for now, that's not half bad.
Me and my home park of Worlds of Fun is kind of a love/hate relationship. I love going as I don't go that may times per year, but I've ridden everything and usually end up power riding Mamba or Timberwolf. My dream for a B&M still lives on, but I'm beginning to wonder.

My local park VF is mostly a complete bore with the EXCESSIVE overbraking of Wild Thing. Even Playa admit its a big problem. The worst part is that the ride during its first few years was running GREAT and now that's a thing of the past! My concern is how will VF operates Steel Venom? They can control the intensity of the ride and I fear that it will be toned down to "family" standard instead of letting it become the world class thrillers like the ones at SFGAm and SFWOA! (I don't compares WT @ CP because of the problems it was having and that it has two twists). I do like the idea of a straight spike on one side versus the twist better! :-) I do plan to renew my VF season pass since they are a cheap way to go to CP (to ride the new thriller new year!)! I do love CP and I think it is my favorite large corporate park. At least Dick Kinzel is smart enough to LOVES airtime as much as I do!

I am completely sick of Indiana Beach. I mean sure they have Hoosier Hurricane and Cornball but thats it. Double shot is half the fun of Demon Drop or Power Tower and LoCoSuMo is just plain stupid. It's a complete bore to me!
Wow, as I started reading your post, I thought it was just a joke, but I didn't realize you were serious. Granted, it is your opinion, but what do you expect them to have? They are just a small park who try to do their best to impress. Two coasters in two years isn't bad. Yes, indeed, the park is small, but look beyond the bigger attractions and find the smaller things that really do a big part to make the park such a great place.

GlitchCam Returns...if you thought the Subdivision Cam was something, wait untill you see this.
According to the general public, lots of coasters go straight down.
Smurfslayer,
I live in Portland Oregon, Frontier City is a rollercoaster mecca compared to what we have here. You can either go to the Oaks, Thrillville USA, or Enchanted Forest. I'd trade you all three for frontier city any day. The only good thing about living in the NW is our coaster situation can only get better.

84 coasters and counting
