Sean Menefee Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 Im in Sacramento, CA (Citrus Heights to be exact) so my home park would be Six Flags Marine World. PGA's about 2 hours away, and SCBB is another half hour past that.

pagemaster_b Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 There are two dinky amusement parks in Salem: Thrillville, and Enchanted Forest. Thrillville is a dump, many of the rides showing a lot of rust and poor maintenance. Enchanted Forest next door only has one coaster, a log ride, and a haunted house, the rest a bunch of buildings and tunnels to walk through. Portland has a nice small park--Oak's Amusement Park, but it feels more like a traveling carnival or state fair. The closest "offical" amusement park is the one Six Flag's owns up by Seattle, Washington. I love the Northwest, but there's just not much in the way of coasters and parks.
alpengeist04 Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Unfortunately, the closest park to me is 2 1/2 to 3 hours away. With that said, my home park could be BGWilliamsburg, Kings Dominion, or Carowinds.
msep003 Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Parc Asterix 5 min away Disneyland Resort Paris 30min away
Red Benny Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Since I'm originally from CA I consider my home park to be Disneyland. It's only about a 43 hour drive for me depending on traffic. Though, I suppose if you want to get technical La Ronde would be considered my home park since it's 45 minutes away. But since I grew up in Southern CA I will always think of Disneyland as home.
smells_like_team_disney Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I live less than an hour away from all major SoCal parks (except the San Diego parks, about 2 hours away). As a kid, my family would visit Disneyland the most, along with Knott's. Now, I really just visit Disneyland, as the quality in all the surrounding parks has greatly declined .
