Don't try to convince a couple of bitter posters in the 'sick of this city' thread above of this stuff. They'll just claim it's all lies.

So, did you read the article or was that just a lucky guess?

I chuckled at the Adventureland one too. How many amusement parks can there by in the Midwest?

This almost seems like the infamous "participation award" where everyone gets a ribbon!

Not only did I read the article, I have been to every amusement park they listed. Most more than once. They're not really in a specific order in that article, or if they are, it's seriously skewed. Even so, I would put Adventureland about 13th within that company, ahead of Arnolds Park and Bay Beach. Indiana Beach beats Adventureland easily. Mt. Olympus is at a similar level, but they have the advantage of a very high-caliber roller coaster.
