Carnage Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 -Canada's Wonderland = 370 acres But, Cedar Point is 364 acres, so that makes it a little bit smaller than PCW. I'd be interested to see an official stat on that. I really don't see PCW being 370 acres, unless that includes the entire land block including the parking lot,etc. There's no way PCW is bigger then Cedar Point.

Scroll down to page four. http://www.cedarfair.com/_upload/pressreleases/ppi%20-%20initial%20announcement.pdf Is that the size of the park, or the land that each park owns? I know shortly after buying Paramount CF mentioned free land at each Paramount park. PCW had a fairly large amount of unused land. I'm just wondering if those numbers include the undeveloped land, as I highly doubt Kings Island is 453 acres?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PkiJake Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I think hat land is undeveloped land at Kings Island. They have about 800 acres totally. I also found Dreamworld it is 74 acres at the current time, I doubt that includes the new for this year Whitewater World water park. They have 210 acres totally, that is assuming the online converter I used converted it right from hectares to acres. I found the hectares on an aussie website dreamnova. -Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 The hills at Holiday World got to me by the end of a hot day, but I didn't really mind Mt Olympus (except the entrance). Walking up the hill to S:UE at SFMM is the single most exhausting hill at any park. I don't like the current long walk from Thunderhead to Tennessee Tornado. I think the worst dead end at a park is the hill down to B:TR at SFoG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonOfBeastSucks Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I find it funny that so many people have complaints about the walks inside an amusement park. You spend half the day at least in line so the time walking for me is refreshing. I totally agree with you there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 ^Also agreed. I think the bigger park the better. It is so much better to have a big park, like Cedar Point and Walt Disney World Parks, because there is so much to explore. Once you think you hva covered everything, there is still alot more stuff to do in the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOA Freak Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I like smaller parks better. The lines aren't too big so you can ride you favorite rides over and over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Gah, the path to Gotham at SFoG was way much for me and my Floridian feet and their lack of experience with drastic elevation change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electerik Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 SFOG in general has a funky layout; you have the Batman/Mindbender deadend AND the Superman/Ninja/GASM dead end. And what's so sad is that there's only, like, a go cart track seperating the two dead ends. First thing I'd do if I magically owned SFOG: rip out the go carts and make the park a circle.

coaster05 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I would have to say that Holiday World does have a very annoying layout for being a smaller park. It's weird I liked SFOG so much i didn't even notice the dead ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primogen18 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Anyone know how big in acres Knoebels is? The layout is so random and evreything, its hard to really tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDG Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Best park is Europa-Park. It's huge and véry complex, it has so many rides, it's impossible to ride them all in one day and for first-time visitors the park is like a maze. Perfect park. Gives you something to explore.

easytoremember Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 ^ For some reason walking up and down hills though tires me out much faster. Like I have no problem walking around Cedar Point all day. But a tiny park like Mt. Olympus really killed my feet and legs. Do you mean the park is small, or the amount of rides is small? To me, it seemed like one of the biggest and most spread out parks I had been to. The hills also are pretty bad. Holiday world has a weird layout, especially Thanksgiving. You should be able to go from Thangsgiving to the water park without going all the way back around thorugh Halloween. It got me confused a few times when I was there. A lot of people complain about SFOGs hills to Gotham City. They really are not that bad, especially when you are rewarded with Schwartzkopf goodness on the other side.

Mt Olympus ride wise and park size is pretty small. But the elevation changes is pretty drastic. Not too mention the ride stations being built like 30 feet off the ground.

Three Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 What's Mt. Olympus' acreage? It seemed to me to be one of the smallest parks I'd been to. Funny that somebody would have the opposite opinion. I did not thoroughly explore the water park area though. Which seemed to be a lot bigger than I expected.

jALIg Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 it fun to hear all you americans complain about having to walk some hills in the parks, try Tusenfryd(norway) the whole park is built in a hillside and this park has no transport system except from some escalators that take you from the entrance to the park. ask anyone whos been there how the walk from supersplash to the spaceshot is;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airtime&Gravity Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I think it really depends on the park. Cedar Pint is huge, but it uses its land well, but SFSTL on the other hand, while a nice park, is layed out in such a horendus way, that it will drive anyone insane. I'll have to agree though, Mt. Olympus is layed out poorly, but it doesn't come close to SFKK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 ^ I wouldn't call Mt Olympus worst layed out. It's just that it's really hilly. It's far too small of a park to be affected two much by bad planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
