Katonga at Busch Gardens...they've had the f*ckin' thing there for 5 f*ckin' years!!! It's gotta stop! There's only so many times that a story of many woodland creatures can be told!

I still think the worst decision is moving the SLC to La Ronde where they already have a B:TR. It's like a slap in the face to the Canadians to me. :/

Worst trend started by a theme park chain: Six Flags with their two garbage logos

"Throw out your garbage, my family comes here too"
and
"Have a heart, do your part, keep the park clean"

How cheesy can you get?

I'm glad to nominate Knott's Berry Farm for Worst Landscaping. The park doesn't have much landscaping to begin with, and the park does a horrible job with that little bit of it.




I'm going to slap you with a nasty sock. That place is small, and they can't really do much landscaping because...

A) It's small

B) Half the park if not the whole park would be closed....For a long time.

C) it has more than enough landscaping for a park that size. The whole rapids area is well themed and landscaped and the big pond was put to excellent use as being put as Silver Bullet's base.
Sometimes you gotta sacrifice a little bit of yourself to get the job done.

Most painful attraction outside a water park - Flashback, SFMM
- Very rough ride even when it was new. OTSR's that didn't fit anybody. And it's headache's for days.

Worst employees employed by a theme park - SFMM

Worst employees employed by a water park - (just a guess) SFMM:Hurricane Harbor

Worst Amusement Park - SFMM (anyone else seeing a pattern here? Good rides, horrible up keep)

cos i'm bitter that it wasted half of my day at thorpe park. Better rides don't break down. As far as I'm concerned Saw the ride consisted of 3 hours of queueing in teh cold, and spending half an hour next to some love gun effect that went off every 5 minutes.

I'm also not fair, so tough. It sucks till I get a chance to ride.

I think there should be another catergory, dirtiest area. for this i nominate the cue lime for Maverick at CP for the reason that when we were there, a mentally disabled guy literally took a dump in line. it fell out of his pants straight onto the floor and it took a half an hour for a janitor to get there.
Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.

Cyclone at SFNE is an ok ride. it is sort of like a larger, slower paced version of comet at Great Escape

haha yeah it's like 5 minutes of straight suck lol. It used to be better before they put trims on the first hill, but now its all hurt and no thrill...

If I gotta go to the hospital after I ride it anyway, they could at least make it fun.

I nominate Wildwater kingdom as the worst waterpark. When Geauga Lake was still a park, it was free with admission. Park tix were about $20.00. They still charge that with less then half the attractions now that the ride side closed, without even adding anything new for years! Horrible! I think they're gonna kill that park too.

I'm not nominating it for a rusty ribbon but The Beast at kings island has sucked ever since they threw about a billion brakes on it.

However i do nominate Kingda Ka as the most painful attraction outside a waterpark it is basically a rougher, suckier version of TTD

Ah yes, i almost forgot. for worst "new" steel roller coaster of 2009 i nominate Bizarro at SFNE they just took a great ride and made it ugly and uncomfortable with stupid speakers in the headrests. does it even count as a new ride anyways, or should it just be called worst massacre of an old one?
