Whew, I'd have to say that no park that was ever my "Home Park" was ever my favorite, and none are my favorite now.

Growing up in MA: Pirates Fun Park is a HOLE!

Canobie Lake was the nearest real park, but it wasn't that great in the late 70's - early 80's.

 

Stationed in San Diego for 7 years, Belmont Park isn't much more than a woodie with a couple flats.

 

Lived in Minnesota for 3 years, VF is nice but never my favorite.

 

Lived in Gaeta, Italy for 2 years, and sadly Magic World was far closer than Luneur, but neither park is all that nice. (Magic Mountain is the same terrible Top Fun POS that is at Santa's Village in IL. Possibly the worst coaster ever made by one of the worst coaster companies ever.)

 

Lived in Manama, Bahrain and Chakazooloo Indoor Amusement Center is more like a Chuck E. Cheese with much better theming and a coaster far better than a Python Pit!

 

Now I live in Yokosuka, Japan and Hakkeijima Sea Paradise is about 4.5 miles away. They seem to keep taking out rides, so I'm not very happy with it as my home park.

 

If I move to Illinois, 6FGAm will be my next "Home Park" but I think I'll be happier to have a shorter drive to Holiday World!

 

Oh, I forgot. My favorite parks are Europa Park and BPB in Europe, BGEuroburg and BGDarkTampa in the states, and TDS and Space World in Asia.

PCW is my home park, and it's probably... fourth or fifth on favourite parks list [CP, IOA, BGW definately ahead of it, possibly BGT ahead of it as well].

 

Hopefully it'll drop a lot further by June 11th.

God, no. I guess my closest home park is SFGadv, followed closely by SFAmerica. Although I enjoy them both, and they have some great rides, they are nowhere near my favorite parks. For traditional parks, I'd say Knoebel's is tops. For theme parks, either Islands of Adventure or Magic Kingdom, followed by Busch Gardens Tampa. I also live relatively close to several beachside areas such as Funland in Rehoboth Beach, Trimpers in Ocean City, Maryland and Morey's Piers in Wildwood.

PKI is my homepark, and it is my favorite. However, it is not my favorite as far as Paramount is involved. I do not like what Paramount has done to the park at all. The area that Paramount built on is the Action Zone- and I hate it with a strong passion. The rides are not very good, and they cut down all the trees to build it. I like the original areas of PKI- The Beast, Coney Mall, Hanna Barbara Land, etc. IMO, Paramount ruined the park by building stuff such as the Action Zone and Son of Beast, and they ruined it further by redesigning Hanna Barbara Land to be 100% Nickelodeon. It is still my favorite park, but I bet I would have liked it a lot better if I had been around in the 70's and 80's to enjoy the park before Paramount was involved.

Kennywood is far from my favorite park. It's a great park, but every year I go, I seem to get bored after only a few hours. Mainly because it's the same thing every year, nothing (or very little) has changed. When KW gets a new coaster, it will move up in my rankings

I'd guess that technically Gulliver's Warrington and Camelot are my closest parks, but I consider Alton Towers to be my real home park as it's the only park I visit on a regular basis. BPB is actually about the same distance away, but I hate Blackpool so much that I only tend to go when kidnapped.

 

Alton is certainly *one* of my favourite parks, but I'd say there are a few with equal love: I ADORED Liseberg last summer, and there are several Florida parks that I have a huge soft spot for: EPCOT, Sea World, BGT, and IOA.

Well I live an hour from Cedar Point and a half hour from Geauga Lake. I consider them both to be my home parks. But I would say that Cedar Point is by far my favorite park that I have ever been to.
