Xcoaster Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Mine are about the same. 1. Santa Monica Pier - via Hwy 1, 45.4 miles, 1 hour 2 minutes: A beautiful drive down the Pacific Coast Hwy. Traffic is usually fairly light. Unfortunately, I haven't had a reason to visit since I got my credit a long time ago, but I still do the drive all the time. 2. SFMM - via Hwy 126, 50.5 Miles, 1 hour 6 minutes: Another great drive, this one through scenic farmland. Rarely any traffic. Really doesn't help to prepare you for SFMM. 3. USH - via Hwy 101, 54.9 Miles, 1 hour 6 minutes (no traffic), 2+ hours (with traffic): A quick drive if there's no traffic, but it can suck otherwise.

gerstlaueringvar Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Chimelong Paradise Happy Valley Shenzhen Mysterious Island. That stupid Chuanlord is a death trap, not a park.
TPDave Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 I would assume Thorpe, Chessington and Legoland but I'm not entirely sure!
thatguyclint Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 1. Holiday World - 197 miles 2. Kentucky Kingdom (when it opens) - 202 miles 3. Dollywood - 242 miles 4 (3 until KK opens). SFoG - 253 miles
Projektion Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 1. Portaventura 2. Tibidabo 3. Terra Mitica All are about 1 hour away from me assuming I'm don't have to wait for flights/transfers/etc., Otherwise it's probably closer to 2/2 and a half hours
rcjp Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 ^Better than me. The 3 closest decent parks from where I live are Isla Magica, Parque de Atracciones Madrid and Warner Madrid, all 5 hours away and not even in the same country!
firewalk13 Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 1) Cedar Point - 90 mins 2) Waldameer Park - 90 mins 3) Conneaut Lake Park - 90 mins
larrygator Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Luna Park - 30 minutes SFGAdv - 50 minutes Dorney - 80 minutes
DarienLaker Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Darien Lake - 30 minutes Martin's Fantasy Island - 30 minutes Seabreeze - 1 hour and 18 minutes
BigDipper 80 Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Currently: Kings Island - 25 minutes Strickers Grove - 25 minutes Holiday World - 2 hr 35 minutes Technically Kentucky Kingdom is closer by an hour than Holiday World, but since it doesn't re-open until this upcoming season, I didn't put it on the list.
Nrthwnd Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Enchanted Forest in Turner, Oregon: 54 miles/1 hour Wild Waves in Federal Way, Washington: 159 miles/2 hours, 41 minutes I totally forgot about these parks being so close to me, and I have been to both of them. Forgive me Coaster Park Gawds for such an error in judgement. (But those aren't my times = + 2-1/2 hours from Vancouver)
redfoot12 Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Kings Dominion is 20 minutes away Busch Gardens is 45-50 minutes away Six Flags America is just under 2 hours I might be moving to Colorado later this year so I guess this would change to Elitch Gardens, Lakeside, a bunch of FEC's, and Cliff's
Coaster_Fanatic Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Kings Dominion (15 minutes away) Busch Gardens Williamsburg (45 minutes away) Six Flags America (Somewhere around 2 hours away)
robbalvey Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Universal Studios Orlando/IOA - 5 minutes Sea World Orlando - 10 minutes Epcot - 15 minutes
thrillerman1 Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Beech Bend is the closest followed by Lake Winnie and Dollywood.
AussieMum Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Dreamworld Movieworld Seaworld All on the fabulous Gold Coast of Australia Between 45 - 75 minutes depending on traffic
azza29 Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Luna Park Melbourne - 15 minutes Magic Mountain Merimbula - 6.5 hours Luna Park Sydney - 8.5 hours Although it's only 3 hours travel time to the Gold Coast parks if I fly up...
Double0Kevin Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Adventuredome - 15mins Disneyland/DCA - 4 Hours Knott's Berry Farm - 4 Hours 5mins I excluded the smaller family parks (like Scandia) and single ride attractions (like NYNY or Buffalo Bills)
Mechanic Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Six Flags Discovery Kingdom (83 miles) is closest at 1 hour and 15 minutes. California's Great America (143 miles) is a little over 2 hours away. Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk (175 miles) and Gilroy Gardens (176 miles) are just about a tie at slightly under 3 hours. All those times listed do depend on the traffic. We typically leave fairly early for park visits, so traffic usually isn't too much of an issue on a weekend.
