I chill up in Massachusetts, so:

 

-Six Flags New England

-Canobie Lake Park

-Lake Compounce

 

All are a 2-3 hour drive from my place. I visited SFNE and Lake Compounce this past season, but haven't been to Canobie Lake for about four years.

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, ~35 miles

CA Great America, ~45 miles

Santa Cruz Boardwalk, ~75 miles

 

Thanks to the horrible traffic in the Bay Area, though, the distances can be deceiving (Great America tends to be a shorter drive than Discovery Kingdom).

I'm basically close to everything in Orlando and Tampa. Disney, Universal, Sea World, Busch Gardens etc..... About an hour's drive or a little over.

Not counting really small parks, like CJ Barrymore's (1 hour 48 minutes):

 

1) Michigan's Adventure - 1 hour 42 minutes

2) Cedar Point - 3 hours

3) Indiana Beach - 3 hours 39 minutes (I'd assumed it'd be SFGAm, so this was a bit of a coup!)

SeaWorld San Diego - <10 mins

Belmont Park - <10 mins

Aquatica - 30 mins

Legoland CA - 40 mins

Mundo Divertido - 40 mins (with minimal border crossing time. Expect ~2 hours on your way back)

1: Wild Adventures (98 miles)

2: Universal Orlando (112 miles)

3: Fun Spot America Orlando (112 miles)

 

However, I count BGT (130 miles) & SWO (117 miles) as my home parks since I've been a pass member for 10 years.

*all distances are driving

If you want to count these as parks:

Playland Castaway Cove, Ocean City, NJ-20 minute walk

Gillian's Wonderland, Ocean City-2 miles ?

Morey's Piers, Wildwood, NJ, <30 miles

 

For real theme parks:

Six Flags Great Adventure-about 70 miles

Dorney Park

Hershey Park

 

Clementon Park is closer, but I haven't been there in over 10 years.

 

(I moved from Long Beach Island to Ocean City, NJ in 2014. Maybe I should change my user name.)

From hometown:

1. Kentucky Kingdom (25m)

2. Holiday World (1h 32m)

3. Kings Island (1h 49m)

 

From work/college town:

1. Kentucky Kingdom (1h 15m)

2. Kings Island (1h 40m)

3. Beech Bend Park (2h 23m)

Posted

Cedar Point - 115 miles (1 hr 58 min)

Michigan's Adventure - 192 miles (2 hr 50 min)

Kings Island - 229 miles (3 hr 39 min)

 

Next would be Waldameer and Indiana Beach

Posted

Thorpe Park 20 miles

Legoland Windsor 21 miles

Chessington World of Adventures 21 miles

 

So basically the West London Merlin cluster

 

Also this is quite helpful for anyone trying to find out or look for new parks to visit that are more under the radar.
