There are two dinky amusement parks in Salem: Thrillville, and Enchanted Forest. Thrillville is a dump, many of the rides showing a lot of rust and poor maintenance. Enchanted Forest next door only has one coaster, a log ride, and a haunted house, the rest a bunch of buildings and tunnels to walk through. Portland has a nice small park--Oak's Amusement Park, but it feels more like a traveling carnival or state fair. The closest "offical" amusement park is the one Six Flag's owns up by Seattle, Washington. I love the Northwest, but there's just not much in the way of coasters and parks.

Montazooma's Revenge and Corkscrew at Knott's Berry Farm, Dec 1988. I'm suprised that it's a first for many others.
