Favourite small park

[Koolkid]

Wicksteed Park

 

A small charming little park with a few rides , many of which are decades and decades old

[XII]

My Top 3 Small Parks would have to be

 

1. Knoebels

2. PNE Playland

3. The Great Escape

[LJGoBlue]

Waldameer is by far my favorite small park. There is such a great atmosphere there.

[MattMattMatt]

I guess it still depends on what we mean by "small park" but I consider Knoebels and Kennywood to be in my absolute top tier of favorite parks. In my 2nd tier would probably be Compounce and Waldameer.

[Homeboy23]

I have to say Knoebels for the atmosphere, food and Phoenix.

I'm gonna have to go with Knoebles, great park nice and wooded and cool in the summer, great food, two great coasters with another 2 good ones on the way. Just an amazing place.

Umm, well I dunno if you can really consider it small, but Kennywood is smaller than a lot of parks that I have been to, and I absolutely loved it. Holiday World was fantastic as well, and is definitely a park I want to go back to.

 

Waldameer was okay but it really wasn't anything fantastic, besides Ravine Flyer II and XScream of course <3

I'd have to say Lakemont. Yeah Waldameer is great, but Lakemont Park in Altoona PA, has the Skyliner which is a nice coaster, and not to mention the worlds oldest coaster. The park also has a Toboggan which I think is really fun, a cool antique car ride, plus a ride called the Twister which is fun. I say Lakemont because it is only about 10 dollars to get in with the water park and the ride lines are empty. You can ride the rides without getting off.

Could Kennywood constitute as a small park? If not, then Boblo Island when it was opened.

Hello, new to site not to amusement parks but Marshall Scottys FTW!

[DiSab]

Easily Holiday World. I really need to get back there soon.

[coastakid]

Lake Compounce.

 

Boulder Dash is worth every trip I take there.

To me it has to be any park thats not owned by a money hungry companys. Family owned park KG,HW,Canobie,CLP, BB,LW and many others.

After yesterday, easily Waldameer, the park is run so efficiently and so clean. I didn't want to leave and Ravine Flyer 2 was amazing, got 6 rides on it .

[froggypheebs]

My vote goes to Idlewild. It just has so much going for it. It is so much more than a kiddie park and has unique attractions such as the Caterpillar with canopy, Storybook Forest and the Mr. Rogers train ride. I could easily spend an entire day there.

[Six Flags Enthuseast]

Wild Waves is the smallest park I've been to. However, it is a nice place to go to if you just want to spend the day on a few rides or swimming or sitting near the wavepool. There are a lot of rides (even a nice sized skycoaster) for the size of the park, but it is managed pretty well.

 

Overall, my small park vote goes to Wild Waves.

[LBIJim]

Another vote for Knoebels.....Phoenix is great, Twister almost as good.

 

Great flats, atmosphere, and food. And you can't beat the prices.

Another vote for Knoebels

+1

Love the phoenix

[Diamondback'09]

Definately Waldameer!! Hurray for Ravine Flyer 2!

[Capitalize]

Knoebel's definitely

[Cavs Fan]

^Amen. Phoenix is great, Twister is great, Flyers are great, getting brass rings are great, Kozmo's Kurves are just okay.

[Corkscrew]

My favourite small park is Enchanted Forest. It's home to some of the best themed rides outside of Disney.

[CorkscrewFoley]

Can I cunt Kennywood? if so, then that's my pick.

[bobbinbop20]

Lake Compounce, Boulder dash!! Plus im the biggest S&S scream swing fan ever!

[Six Flags Enthuseast]

^Not bigger than me! I've been on the holy Grail of Screamin' Swings: Skyhawk. Jealous? Oh wait, I'm a Space Shot/Turbo Drop fanboy. Nevermind.

 

Now that I think of it, I might as well say Silverwood is my best small park. Why? It's small, but it kicks serious a** over Wild Waves. With a smoother-than-average GIB, a coaster with centuries of airtime , the first coaser with inversions, a 140 drop tower, a soaking rapids ride, and a waterpark that's also way better than Wild Waves, you can see why.
