Which is your favourite company?

Mine would probaly have to be cedar fair due to the pure originality in their rides, but tussauds theme thier rides well, and also have lots of originality.
Six flags is most probaly the biggest company, but the pure amount of clones they have put them down a couple of places, but they also had a couple of firsts...

Well I haven't been to that many parks, but I am partial to PKI since I grew up going there a few times every summer. So I guess my favorite is Paramount. PKI has two world class woodies and Flight Of Fear; all they need is a steel hyper/giga (preferably Intamin or B&M) and they could compete with the big boys (i.e. Cedar Fair & Six Flags).

I have to say Anheuser-Busch because it's pretty much the only one I've been to (also it's my home park)

I've been to all Paromounts's Parks (Paramount's Kings Island, Paramount's Great America, Paramount's Carowinds, Paramount's Kings Dominion) and Each of Them are really great, so to me their second best. Cedar Fair is my favorite, because they have great original rides, I live about a 2 hours drive from Dorney Park & Cedar Point both owned by Cedar Fair and Because Both Parks have an awesome Inverted Coaster Named after A Bird. Cedar Point Has Raptor, Dorney Park has Talon. Both Killer Inverteds! Universal Is Great as well as Busch Garden's Parks. Thorpe Park Is Also One Of My Favorites own by Tussauds.

Tussauds are great as they theme there rides really cool unlike some companies who will plonk a coaster in the middle of a concrete desert.

I'd have to say Six Flags. Busch Gardens (both) comes close in second though. Six Flags for some reason just sticks out above the rest. I know most of the rides are clones, but they can spread one coasters enjoyment throughout an area making it easier for people to access them giving them more money. Personally, I HATE clones because 75% of my home park is, but if you think about it, it is very smart. So, I suppose the management and logistics of Six Flags put it slightly above Busch Gardens.

I have to say Anheuser-Busch Parks, they really have some awesome looking parks and rides. Six Flags is cool, but just due to it's size. The quality of the rides is good, but Six Flags is more for thrillseekers.
Cedair Fair has lot's of awesome rides but still lacks a bit on theming I think. I think all these brands are very close to eachother in park quality.
