braztaz Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Just wanted to bring this back up. I was about to post a new topic about skylines, but I was a good little boy and used the search function My personal input on this topic is, yes, Cedar Point. My first trip I was just waiting and waiting to see my first glance, but time passed by so slowly as we kept going through all these roads that seemed to never end... finally, everything opens up and you see the skyline in all it's glory. Millennium Force, in my opinion, is the most massive looking from the causeway. I also love seeing people's reactions to it when they see it for the first time. My parents were in shock.

Sir Clinksalot Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Dorney actually looks pretty good (as seen from the Holiday Express across the street) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDcoasterMAN Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 For me the drive in CP at sunrise was amazing! Also for the KD locals, If you drive to KD from the East on US route 30... MOST epic view of i305 sorry this is blurry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Linn Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Second Dorney...looks awesome when you're coming down 476. King's Dominion looks cool from I-95 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaMiTsPaT Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 ^^^I agree with the Dorney claim, as I stayed at that hotel this summer and had a room facing the park. The lights on some of the attractions at night make it look amazing, and waking up to an amusement park across the street is incredible. I still think the best is seeing Cedar Point for the first time from a distance. simply incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braztaz Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Kings Dominion from 95 doesn't do much for me. But that picture from 30....wow! I gotta try that next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDcoasterMAN Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I305 is bigger than you expect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I'm one of those sentimental people who often gets all emotional upon spotting a park or carnival. Two of my favorite skylines are those of Six Flags Discovery Kingdom and Six Flags Magic Mountain. Of course, I always enjoy being greeted by an impressive woodie. Who doesn't love a wooden coaster?

mightbeawannabe Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 The best park skyline....A park that has moutain sized tree-covered hills surrounding it. SDC wins it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CW_Shockwave Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Well I'm a bit biased, but I do really love seeing Behemoth, Drop Tower, Xtreme Skyflier and Wonder Mountain while driving up the highway towards Canada's Wonderland. Driving to the parking lot beside the lake Behemoth runs along is even better, giving you a great view of all the rides and the waterpark, so I'll give my biased answer of Canada's Wonderland .

Lady Gaga Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I love SFMM from I-5 also from the parking lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I would have to agree with a lot of people and say Cedar Point would be #1. ...Though as a whole, Six Flags parks look pretty good too from a distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tatertot3710 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 My first place would probably be Hersheypark because you get a different view from each of the roads that surround the park. Honorable mentions go to Dorney Park and Worlds of Fun because of how cool they look from the highway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Cold Medina Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 With the common answer, Cedar Point. Just because of Millennium, TTD, and all the other coasters on an island by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jray21 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 My vote is on SFMM. Coming from the North, the valley just opens up and you see all those huge coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XII Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I'm going to also go with Cedar Point and SFMM as the best for reasons everyone else have mentioned. However, I'd give honorable mentions to La Ronde, Dorney Park, Worlds of Fun, and Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceospades1250 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Cedar Point, with Magic Mountain a close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlmoorer Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I know most people have already said it, but Cedar Point's skyline is second to none! I nearly drove off of the causeway cause I couldnt stop looking at the park during my first visit! Never been to SFMM but it does look impressive! My old home park of Jazzland/Six Flags New Orleans had a nice skyline driving on I-10...with MegaZeph along the service road...man I miss that ride!

astroworldfan1 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 ^I always loved seeing the park as I traveled by it. From the time it was built till the time it's torn down, I'll always love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Force! Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 This is easy: Cedar Point. When I first saw the park driving up the causeway for the first time this year, I started jumping for joy and couldn't believe how beautiful the park looked. That is the only park that has honestly made my jaw drop in excitement and awe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anac0nda Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Has anyone tried TusenFryd in Norway? You know, the park with the awesome Intamin launched with a Norwegian loop that wraps around the parks entrance escalators. That is one cool looking park seen from the passing road!

Airtime&Gravity Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Indiana Beach looks great from across the lake, although this is the only time as you can't see the park when you drive up to it until you are already there. Dollywood is also nice in the fact that you can't see the park, even when you are at the entrance, and SFGAM is also cool as the park goes right up to the Tri-State(especially true for American Eagle).

FeelTheFORCE Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 As said already by many, nothing beats Cedar Point and Six Flags Magic Mountain. My two favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
