That is such a hard decision. I feel sorry that you have to make it.

My top 3 choices, easily, are Holiday World, BGW (if it's anything like BGT, which they seem similar), and Kings Dominion.

HW; Legend looks kick ass, Voyage looks really awesome as well as Raven. But Legend would be my main perk.

BGW; Alpengeist seems popular, Griffon... I mean if you've never been on a Dive Machine you have to go there, for sure. Apollo's Chariot. The only reason I wouldn't pick this is because the lack of wood.

KD: Intimidator and Dominator, enough said.

I would choose BGW.

*I've already been to CP but if you haven't, I would pick that.

It kinda depends on what you are looking for. If you want a lot of coasters and in a multitude of styles, the obvious choice is Cedar Point. If you want a great park over all, fun and scenic, BGW would be my choice. My recommendation is to pick a park that either you have never been to or the one you have been to the least.

I don't care what anyone says, Legend is way more rough than the Voyage. It's crazy rough. The Lats are nice, but other than that it isn't that great. The voyage and Raven are AMAZING, the legend is just okay.

How many parks can you go to?

If I had to chose 3 I would def go with gerst on this one. Holiday World, BGW, and Kings Dominion. Cedar point would be my 4th pick. Getting sick of Kings Island..lol.

^^Raven looks like it would be the roughest there! Well I learned something lol. Anyhow I would really just go for Voyage to be honest then. I just think Legend has an awesome drop and a really killer layout.

RWN, How many days are you planning on spending at the park? This is also something that makes a difference. If it's one day, Holiday World ad BGW are perfect choices. If it's 2-3 days, KD and CP are probably the better choices. The roller coasters at BGW and HW look awesome and top of the line, but I don't know how I'd feel about spending more than a day at either of those parks.

I would choose BGE. Best park I have ever been to. There's quite a bit to do outside of the park in Williamsburg as well. Great food in the park, and an awesome realistic european theme atmosphere. You have to stay for at least two days to get the full experience, though.

Here's the parks and how long I would spend at each one, I think that that would better help you decide which one you would like. Each one is good in their own way.

Cedar Point: 3-3.5 full days. (Most rides have no line (weekdays Raptor has 1/4 hour, but some do (Weekdays MF, Maverick, and TTD have 3/4 hours or more. You'll want re-rides, too.)
Busch Gardens: 1-2 full days. (Lines can be long, quite a bit to do in the park aside from rides)
Kings Island: 1-1.5 days. (quite a few rides, but from experience lines are fairly short, nonexistent on weekdays)
Kings Dominion: 1-1.5 days. (assuming it's about the same as KI, never been, want to)
Holiday World: 1 day. (Rides are hop on on weekdays, water rides hold most of the line lol during the summer. Nothing to do outside HW. good park but I wouldn't go there for a vacation)

Hope this helped!
