Discussion
wafflehater8206: Cedar Point over Magic Mountain and it's not close. Steel Vengeance and Maverick are a ridiculous 1-2 punch and the park is on Lake Erie.
raccoonkid67: If you loved Dollywood go to Silver Dollar City, it's Dollywood but better
angry_falcon: Knott's has more history than the mouse park down the street
soggy_toaster: X2 alone gets SFMM out of D
biscuitenjoyer68: Magic Mountain is an operational tire fire with the best coaster lineup in the West
ryan_s389: Islands of Adventure is the best theme park in the country, Disney included. VelociCoaster.
