Thumbs up Themepark appreciation thread: Pics & discussion!

Have you ever been to Sixflags, Alton Towers, Disney land, Sea World etc...
What do you think of those parks? Do you visit them often?

Here's a few pictures from "de Efteling", a themepark which I visit often.
What I like about this park is the atmosphere, the "Anton Pieck-nostalgia"
and the enlightment in the evening.










And here a few sixflags holland pictures:

Too bad. Well for me, a day to a themepark must be PERFECT. Headache, nausea or tiredness will ruin everything!

Lol, that smiley.
Only thing that can make me nauseous is "the Goliath" @ Sixflags Holland after eating a whole lot of candy!

All the theme parks ive been to:
Disneyland (cali)
Disneyworld (epcot)
Tokyo Disneyland
Worlds of Fun (kansas city)
Six Flags Houston
Six Flags Elitch Gardens (denver) (and Elitch Gardens before it moved to its current location, and before six flags bought them)
Lakeside amusement park (denver)
Six Flags Magic Mountain (cali)
Knotts Berry Farm

Best one in my opinion was Six Flags Magic Mountain though, with Six Flags Elitch Gardens a close second. (probably would be first if all the rides were open, but a couple of the big coasters were closed)

Theme parks! Love them! Been to a few around the world, some of which have been mentioned here:

-Efteling, Holland
-Kings Dominion, VA, USA
-Alton Towers, UK
-Epcot, FL, USA
-Universal Studios, CA, USA
-Chessington World of Adventures, UK
-Europa Park, Germany
-Knotts Berry Farm, CA, USA
-Eurodisney, France

can't remember any more at the moment. loved King's Dominion especially the Hypersonic XLC (except the waiting in line!)

you all need to go to cedar point. Best coasters in da world.



there are soo many of them. Too bad this thread is at the end of coaster season there.


Posted by jrbuddha on Aug-30-2004 23:44:

ive been wanting to go to cedar point, but have never been up that way. Saw some special about it on the travel channel (i think) and the place looked awesome, but some of the lines looked INSANELY LONG.

and a friend told me that pretty much any new coaster design goes to cedar point first, before the "peons" get it hehe.

oh, and add to my list Universal Studios in both florida and cali.

Top Thrill Dragster

Would love to go to Cedar Point but havn't found myself in OH in a long while! Am so tempted to go for the weekend or something outrageous!


Posted by biznology on Aug-31-2004 01:01:

Ive been to quite a few in the US. Never Cedar Point tho it seems fun. Orlando places are reasonably lame, the free beer, better rides and animals at Busch Gardens Tampa make that park the best IMO.

My fav local park here in Colorado would be Water World. Its surely a testament to all things American what with the huge water wasting rides. It is very fun tho and not as expensive or 'safe' as a SixFlags. Plus you have to be seen in a swimsuit so you get less fatties!

How about depreciation thread?

Disney sucks big time, except for EPCOT.

You know why, because I work there!
