Chadley Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 These come out every once in a while, top tens from/for the general public. I found this link through a news story on my Yahoo news. I can't help but feel Holiday World & Dollywood among others are missing from this list, but see for yourselves!... http://www.citysearch.com/feature/37203 I don't know of the date for this article, (though it says 2008 at the bottom), but they need to do some research on some things, such as... - Mall Of America's park is now the "Park At MOA" not "Camp Snoopy". - I know Cleveland is probably the closest major city to CP, but it's still 55-60 miles away from Cleveland.

haux Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 There should be no "of" in your titleGreat post, dude. These dumb lists are rehashed every year. This one's gotta be a few years old, and the people who posted it probably just post it every summer. Did you find this when you signed out of Hotmail? MSN does the same crap, and it's nothing new. They do the same for waterparks, thrill rides, pizza places and nights out. It's the same crazy every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballteen58 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Astroworld! I passed it on Sunday! I'm looking foward to riding Grass: The Ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewheeled999 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 This list kind of reminds me of this book they had at my school book fair, where it was seriously like this, I'm not kidding at all: #3: X (SFMM) #2: Top Thrill Dragster And the #1 Coaster of ALL TIME: Kingda Ka Yeah. Right. If the world was like that, I'd be off coasters and into knitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astroworldfan1 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 - Mall Of America's park is now the "Park At MOA" not "Camp Snoopy". I thought it was Nick Universe. They are mocking me with that list. I guess she will never come back to me. And, how can Astroland be the best amusement park?? Arren't 8 of those parks listed are Theme park with the expetion of Astroland? -Tatum "They are very opinionated" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds very informative... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astroworldfan1 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 ^ I acually have that book, and I too bought it from my Book Fair! It's really odd. It lacks El Torro and the book was published after El Torro was built. Another thing. It also says the first inverted coaster was at Six Flags Great Adventure. -Tatum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MASH80554077 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 They put Busch Gardens Africa on there but not BGE ....wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterP Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I agree that Carowinds and Astroworld are (were) much, much better parks than Disneyland....as well as SFGAdv, SFGAm, BGE, IOA, Epcot, SFOT, Holiday World, Knoebels, Hersheypark, SFNE, SDC, Dollywood, SFOG....

sam06pr Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I think they should ask a coaste enthusiasts if anything is wrong with their list... "well astroworld is closed, it is not camp snoopy anymore it is nick universe." Still funny...at least BGA is on the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcoaster Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Lmao Astroland is #1. I also love how Nick Universe got in the countdown but no IOA and BGE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterP Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 lol, only american parks Well, its an American website. The percentage of Americans who travel abroad to go to amusement parks (instead of drive 5 or 6 hours) is very, very small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holtskee Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 This is the exact same "top 10" amusement park list that MSN had on their website like 5 years ago. It's awful. Citysearch just copied it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewheeled999 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Oh, I found what the book was online, but I can't find anything else about it. Here's a link to the cover, but nothing else: Click! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBeach Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 SFMM! And rumour is they are adding a woodie for mid to late 2009. Have only heard it as a rumour and was just there last month and see no building so don't quote me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrazy216 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 How in the world did Astro World even get on that list. I am a Houston native and I hated that park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcoaster Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 ^ I never went there. But from the looks of it the park looked run down. Especially right before it closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chadley Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 Astroworld seemed rundown even back in the early part of the decade. I remember it from TPR Vol. 1 or 2, and it looked pretty terrible on that video. Sorry, my bad on the MOA thing, hopefully Nickolodeon Universe will be it's last name change for quite a while. This list just gets more hilarious by the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
