    I’ve been to Knott’s, Cedar Point, and Kings Island and all are great. I agree that Knott’s is the best themed, and I would also add that it’s got some great food with the jam and the chicken dinner. Cedar Point however, has the greatest roller coasters I have ever been on. The rides there are incredible.
    Edit:
    I think of the three parks I’ve been to I would rank them as:
    3) Kings Island
    2) Knott’s (nostalgia definitely plays a big part with Knott’s)
    1) Cedar Point

      I don't get how people can prefer Hershey park or magic mountain's lineups to cedar point even without dragster I think they have the best coaster collection by far 2 of the best intamins some great B&Ms an arrow hypercoaster and the best RMC and they still have 8 coasters left over (many of which are still pretty good)

    Super fair ranking. I have to get to Canada's Wonderland one day, looks amazing. Kings Island is def my number 1 in the chain, but a lot of what goes into that ranking is ride ops amd crowds. Im hopeful with this merger than CF will breathe more quality into SF. Great vid as always!

    Last time I went to Kings Island, I actually got to experience both Kings Island and Cedar Point in the same day (I know, I’m a lunatic). And while Cedar Point easily has the best coasters, I’d argue that Kings Island has both the better-balanced collection (Ex: more wood 😈) and easily has better ride ops than CP. It makes for a less-stressful day at KI than I usually have at CP. That’s why I rank KI a little bit ahead of CP imo. Both great parks though! My childhood (and adulthood) wouldn’t be the same without them ❤

    Michigans Adventure so underrated. Ticket gets you into two different parks. The water park is better than any other CF park I’ve been to. It’s so clean, staff is great, top 50 coaster in the world, smoothest SLC, rides are mostly walk on, great food as well. If CF would just throw them a ride, or even a relocation from Great America (Railblazer, or Flight Deck) they have only 50% of their acreage in use. Put a drop tower and the other ride mentioned above and you have such a well rounded park.

I did the waterpark at Michigans Adventure last year, and I had such a great time with that as well.

    @OklahomaCoasterFan 9 місяців тому +1

    Kings Island and Kings Dominion are battling for the top spot for me. It's the depth of KI vs the best 1-2 punch in the country of KD. Both have had little to no lines on my weekday visits. In late 2021, Knotts was open on a rainy day when I was in the area, with most rides open. Meanwhile, Magic Mountain closed for the entire day, even though they didn't get any of the rain. I was heaping the praise on Knotts for their weather policy after that day.
    Cedar Point hasn't been as fun in recent years, with the rides always breaking down, then having 2-hour lines when they're open, on slow days. Maverick has operated less than 10% of the time on my last few visits, and Steel Vengeance isn't much better. It should be # 1, but the crowds and breakdowns are too much for me.

  • @OutlawRunnerSDC
    @OutlawRunnerSDC 9 місяців тому +3

    I've only been to 3 CF parks. Here's how I'd rank the ones I've visited so far:
    3. WORLDS OF FUN.
    This is the closest park to me and I enjoy riding Cyclone Sam's, Mamba, Prowler, Timber Wolf, and I like the collection of older flat rides, especially since some are similar to defunct rides at my home park SFSL. However, I despise this park's operations, the ops are usually very slow, sometimes rude, and don't seem to take any pride at all in their work, this coupled with minimal shade in the queues usually leads me to not enjoy my visits. The park looks nice but I also dislike the color of the water in their water rides. As a ride op, I take operations very seriously when I rate a park, this park's ops drags it down to being one of my least favorites.
    2. CEDAR POINT
    I find this park to be more than slightly overrated and too popular for its own good. It's a shame that they have so many rides and have so many issues with capacity and crowd management. I also think the front half of the park looks like a glorified carnival on a parking lot and don't think it looks pretty until you reach Frontier Town, Wilderness Trail and Camp Snoopy. The roller coasters are among the best out there but the park is sorely missing a modern wooden coaster amongst other things. I don't like how you basically have to splurge for Fast Lane to enjoy your day here but if you luck out with low crowds, you could have a field day at this park.
    1. KINGS ISLAND
    This is my 2nd favorite park I've been to, only behind Silver Dollar City, it has a near perfect lineup in my opinion with stepping stones for smaller children to build up to larger attractions. I love the layout of the park and how rides on the perimeter go out into the woods, and you can't deny they have good rides when people can't even agree on which of the top 5 is the best. The operations are also amazing, I've gone on extremely busy days and the lines keep moving at a steady rate, I try to make it out to this park at least once a year like SDC.
    I also really want to visit MiA for Shivering Timbers, plus friends of mine who've visited say its an extremely charming park.

Kings Island came first and then they modeled King Dominion after Kings Island, right down the Eiffel Tower. If you want to see vintage footage of Kings Island, you can watch the famous Season 5 "Cincinnati Kids" episode of "The Brady Bunch", which was filmed just as the park was first opening in 1972 available on Paramount + and in syndication ("The Partridge Family" filmed an episode there, too...).

    The management of this chain has proved once again that they do not care about enthusiasts or even the GP. I don't blame Great Adventure for the removal of Kingda Ka, I actually commend them for fighting as hard as they did to keep it open for one more season. And it's not even their fault for not speaking on the closure, they were forced to keep quiet by the Cedar Fair executives. And don't expect it to be replaced with anything good. They'll probably put in a B&M dive coaster, albeit a big one, that won't hold a candle to the King and will be rough like most new B&Ms nowadays. I bet whatever they have planned for Great Adventure would turn me into a GP if I rode it. And El Toro is cooked. It will stay for a few years to soften the PR blow but Cedar Fair execs will rip it out and put in its place a forceless and rough B&M. RMC is done, don't be surprised if they go out of business or get bought up by another company, because Cedar Fair won't let them place a finger on any of their bad wood coasters. You won't see any Intamins being built at Six Flags (after Qiddiya) because the Cedar Fair execs are acting like children and will put a grudge over the enjoyment of enthusiasts. They will survive because every other amusement company respects them and will hire them to build world class rides. I will be going to many Six Flags (it's really Cedar Fair now after the merger) and I expect to have a good time, even if I have to stare at the gaping hole that was once a coaster I dreamed of riding, but the future for this company is so incredibly bleak.

      ​@shanepetyko8004 are you only counting coasters? Because CW has some excellent non coasters options, great shows, excellent dining as well. Even the coasters are cool. Guardian is super fun.
      I wish the crowds were smaller though.

      At least those parks both do things well beyond coasters.

    I've not been to 4 of the parks (Knott's Berry, Valleyfair, World's Of Fun, California's Great America)... so the top 7 as I see it would be:
    7th --> Michigan's...
    6th --> Dorney's...
    5th --> King's Dominion...
    4th --> Carowinds...
    3rd --> Wonderland (my home park)...
    2nd --> King's Island...
    1st ---> Cedar Point...
    ***So it looks like our impressions are the exact same (I have a feeling I'll be putting Knott's Berry into the 2nd or 3rd spot if/when I finally get to visit it)...but hey glad to see a fellow Cedar Faire enthusiast who sees the parks the same way I do!

    I think the top 3 are accurate but I'd definitely (and this is bias) put Wonderland at #2 and Carowinds at #4, Cedar Point is the go to spot for coasters, Wonderland easily has the world's best flat ride selection, and Kings Island has the most well rounded lineup, hoping to make it there and Cedar Point one day as I live about 6-8 hours away from both
