Stop it with your pointless defensiveness. You clearly have a problem with Cedar Point, even if you haven't admitted it to yourself yet. You contradict yourself over and over and it alllllll comes off as immature whining.

You're wrong, period. That's all there is to it. I've given you the facts (the actual facts, as in the ones that mean anything) and all you do is yell and sling mud - you still have not offered even one concrete modicum of evidence that there is any sort of meaningful "unequal balance" within the chain.

Get over it, seriously.
Actually cedar point and kings island both got the same amount, cedar point got 23.4 million and kings island got 23.4 million attendants also kings island is now the largest waterpark and amusement park in the midwest.

The thread didn't ask for most of what you took the time to type.


Los Angeles- Six Flags MM, Disneyland, Disney's California Adventure Park, *Knott's Berry Farm, Universal Studios Hollywood

Orlando- Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney's Animal Kingdom, Disney's Hollywood Studios, Legoland Florida, Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure

San Diego- SeaWorld, *Knott's Berry Farm

Ohio- Cedar Point, Kings Island

*Knott's Berry Farm could be considered in both Los Angeles and San Diego.

Orlando is clearly the winner here.

???

Yes, Cedar Point and Kings Island both have 3,143,000 visitors per annum. Where is 23.4 million coming from?

Also, Kings Island is not the largest amusement or waterpark in the Midwest in any way.

Kings Island and Cedar Point both currently use 364 acres of land. Kings Island does in fact have more land, but it's been that way for years.

Cedar Point also has more rides compared to Kings Island; 72 vs. 46 as well as roller coasters; 16 vs. 13.

Kings Island's Soak City is larger than Cedar Points, however I believe Oceans of Fun is the largest water park by land in the Midwest.
