RideofSteel Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 .Two train roller coaster operations I used to feel the same way...But now that really doesn't bother me. I would rather wait slightly longer to go on a coaster running one train than wait for 5 minutes on the brakes *cough superman* when running two trains. As long as the ride ops move at a somewhat decent pace I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azza29 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Log Flume. Especially the old-school ones that use the terrain as part of their course (like Knoebels and Lake Compounce). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aptz Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I think a couple of newer items since this thread was most active are wing coasters and RMC coasters either built from the ground up or reworked. And, who would have thought someone other than CP would have both a giga and a hyper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vargonon Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Greasiest of the greasy funnel cake dowsed in mounds of powered sugar. You know the type of fried deliciousness that clogs your arteries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillseeker4552 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Can I just say Hersheypark? The park is pretty darn close to perfect in my eyes. Intamins, solid "supporting" attractions, scented bathrooms, helpful staff (based on my experience), decent food, picturesque/clean, etc. I guess they could use a better skip-the-line program. Other than that, go Hershey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill_s Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Necessities for an amusement park is at least one non-kiddie coaster. That is all. Even bathrooms are optional (especially if they only have one coaster). But without a coaster it's either less than a real amusement park, or more than an amusement park such as a theme park, or something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 A smooth coaster with airtime (RMC, hyper, wooden coaster, etc) A log flume A drop tower Efficient operations Food is a bonus, but I'm so used to having to find local options. Not every park can be a Knoebels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 This. Mini Donuts > Funnel Cake And last summer, somebody figured this out! Mini Donut Ice Pops!YUM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 ^ Yes! The only mini donuts I've found to be really good in parks has been at Santa's Village. Though the bacon wrapped pretzels at Busch Gardens beat all theme park food for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 ^ Somebody also figured out that these would be great as a sundae, too! (Pardon for extending this particular park want/need/must-have.) Yum Yum x2 YUM X 3! (I got #2.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I saw poutine and got excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 ^ And speaking of the Perfect Poutine for a Park... This one at our annual fair, The PNE. Right beside our awesome BBQ Festival Booths - 4 of them! This is the Montreal Style. Can you figure it out? The marvelous mess begins. With a nice local cider, in the nearby sit-down beer garden. And...the awesome greasy outcome. Great poutine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingleRiderCam Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 ^^^^^ all the way for those mini donuts. The San Diego County Fair always has them and they are fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I'll keep this simple. In order of priority: 1) At least one large coaster, preferably at least B&M or Intamin > 200 ft, with at least one or two good supporting re-rideable coasters. 2) Beer sold in the park. 3) A good skip the line system. (^^ See King's Island, Carowinds, King's Dominion, SFGam, SFoG, BGW, or any of the other decent 'big box' parks where I can pretty much do whatever I want, as long as I pay a sh** load of money...) Pluses: Other fun stuff like trains, flumes, sky rides, big Ferris wheels, antique car rides, and other things to pass the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
