XII Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 My Top 3 Small Parks would have to be 1. Knoebels 2. PNE Playland 3. The Great Escape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJGoBlue Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Waldameer is by far my favorite small park. There is such a great atmosphere there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattMattMatt Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homeboy23 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I have to say Knoebels for the atmosphere, food and Phoenix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jer1188 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveForTheLaunch Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrillrider92 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 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.

CorkscrewFoley Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Could Kennywood constitute as a small park? If not, then Boblo Island when it was opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastakid Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Lake Compounce. Boulder Dash is worth every trip I take there. -Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdad Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptor2011 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 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 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggypheebs Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 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 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 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 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Another vote for Knoebels.....Phoenix is great, Twister almost as good. Great flats, atmosphere, and food. And you can't beat the prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corkscrew Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 My favourite small park is Enchanted Forest. It's home to some of the best themed rides outside of Disney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbinbop20 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Lake Compounce, Boulder dash!! Plus im the biggest S&S scream swing fan ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 ^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.
