[imawesome1124]

I live in Mechanicsville MD so....

SFA is about 45 minutes away.

KD is about 1 and a half hours away.

BGE is about 2 and a half hours away.

Hersheypark is about 3 and a half hours away.

 

Looking at satellite images of major highways it looks like Knoebels is about the same distance as Hersheypark but in a different direction.

 

4 major parks within a few hours of my house, yay!

[SoCalCoasters]

I'm in Carlsbad CA, and am:

 

-10 mintues from Legoland CA

-25 minutes From the SD County Fair

-45 minutes from Sea World SD & Belmont Park

-60 minutes from the Disneyland Resort

-65 minutes from Knott's Berry Farm

-70 minutes from Castle Park

-120 minutes from Six Flags Magic Mountain

 

9 Parks in a two hour vicinity isn't bad at all

[rydrmr9]

Im from central Florida....so my home parks are:

 

BGT: 1 hour and 15 minuets

Universal Orlando Resort: 1 hour and 15 minuets

Disney World Resort: 1 hour

Sea World Orlando: 1 hour 20 minuets

[ajc47]

Mine *was* Geauga Lake, but we know what happened to that. Cedar Point is the closest in-state park though I haven't been there in 4 years. Disney was my local park when I lived in central Florida.

Ditto all that except you forgot Universal Studios:Hollywood (I've never been!). Work in Carlsbad, live in San Marcos. I currently have season passes to Legoland for the kid and I and SFMM for myself and the kid gets to tag along.

[Trevannosaurus Rex]

My current local park is Galaxyland at West Edmonton Mall. After that nothing for miles and miles and miles. Good old Canada. Still it's nice to have a fantastic Schwarzkopf so close.

[tycoonrebel7188]

Stricker's Grove would technically be my home park as it is the closest at only 15 minutes up the road. Kings Island is my main park though, I spent most of my summers working at The Beast. Now I work at White Water Canyon, hoping to spend the 2011 season at Diamondback.

[Fire2box]

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom- 1 hour 40 mins, roughly 85 miles one way.

California's Great America- anywhere from 1 hour to 2 and a half hours away depending who's driving and traffic.

 

Six Flags Magic Mountain.... 6-10 hours.

[TheCoasterGuy]

I live in Valencia, CA and I'm less than 5 minutes away from Six Flags Magic Mountain. I drive right by it every time I leave my house to go anywhere. Of course, we also have Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, Universal Studios Hollywood, and many other parks within a stone's throw from here.

[coastercrutchfield]

I live in Dallas (Plano to be exact), and I guess Six Flags Over Texas would be my home park which is about 45 min away. Though I live closer to Sandy Lake Park which is about 15 min. My true HOME park would be Thorpe Park since I was born in Uxbridge,UK. But I only lived there until I was four. (I wished I still lived there!)

[rolercstrluvr]

San Jose, CA

 

CGA - 10 minutes away

 

Gilroy Gardens - 30 minutes away

[CardCraze]

Busch Gardens Europe is 40 minutes away, I have season passes.

Kings Dominion is 2 hours away, I do not have season passes, but visit twice a year.

Six Flags America is 4 hours away, I have season passes.

[1pizza14]

Canada's Wonderland is 25 mins away from me. La Ronde about 6 hours, and Cedar Point about 7 hours.

[coasternut]

Even though I live in South Florida, now (according to my 6 Flags Season Pass) my home park is Magic Mountain.

I have both a 6 Flags season pass and Cedar Fair (Carowinds) season pass.

[Millenniumfan94]

Kings Island is about 30 minutes away for me so I would consider that my local park, but I also visit Cedar Point a lot which is about a 3.5 hour drive.

[Lamoure]

I'm from Germany

 

Holidaypark is 30min with the bike or 10min with the car away

Europapark is about 2h 30min with the car.

[coasterkid21]

Kennywood!!!

[boywholaughed]

Knotts is about 18 miles from my house.

Disnyeland is about 17 miles from my house.

Six Flags Magic Mountain is about 50 miles from my house.

 

Still, SFMM is my home away from home!

[ocean83]

PortAventura!

[chehza]

I live in the Netherlands, i live a 35 minutes from the Efteling, 20 minutes from Toverland, 25 minutes from DippieDoe, 20 minutes from BillyBirdpark Hemelrijk and Bobbejaanland is 50 minutes away

 

Yeah, I live in a nice place for themeparks
