Mine's changed quite a bit since my last post as I've been to a lot more places.

 

1. Lake Compounce

2. Indiana Beach

3. Busch Gardens Europe

4. Kennywood

5. Canobie Lake

6. Holiday World

7. Rye Playland

8. Kings Dominion

9. Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom

10. Beech Bend? (yeah it's ghetto or whatever, but it's a really FUN and unique place with nice people. I hope that 10 years down the road this park is living up to the huge potential it has)

[cal1br3tto]

1. Disneyland (5/5)

2. Silverwood (5/5)

3. Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk (5/5)

4. Six Flags Discovery Kingdom (4/5)

5. Enchanted Forest (4/5)

6. Disney's California Adventure (3.75/5)

7. Gilroy Gardens (3.75/5)

8. Oaks Amusement Park (3.5/5)

9. Fun Forest (can't rate fairly!)

10. California's Great America (3/5)

 

In the end, I noticed my rankings are a combination of "Where did I have the best experience?" (Disneyland comes to mind) combined with "Where am I most anxious to visit again?" (with better thrill parks getting the edge).

 

I also think my CoasterFanatics rankings (based on ride ratings only) are interesting, although my personal list above reflects my taste a lot better! It's here, by the way: http://www.coasterfanatics.com/sec_members/member_stats.asp?id=106874

[coastersrule85]

One through six were very easy to rank, but seven through ten were pretty tough.

 

1. Knoebels

2. Holiday World

3. Kennywood

4. Hersheypark

5. Dollywood

6. Six Flags Over Texas

7. Kings Island

8. Cedar Point

9. Six Flags Great Adventure

10. Six Flags Great America

 

I think I went more for the total experience of the park rather than thinking in terms of mind-blowing adrenaline thrills, which truly surprises me. These parks are ranked by where I've had the most fun.

Before the last 2 plus weeks in Orlando, I would have never guessed I would have a park without a single coaster at the top. But EPCOT is a place we spent 2 and a half days and still did not even get to half the countries of the world showcase.
