other...I say Kennywood. I have been to CP and SFMM and a few other big parks and they're just nothing compared to the smaller less commercial parks. I will be going to Indiana Beach, and Holiday World next year, and I heard that Holiday World was one of the best, so that'll probably be my favorite once I go there [:D]
universal islands of adventure rules no doubt about it...it has: biggest cobra roll, first inverted dueling coaster, tallest, steepest and fastest water ride, the first moving 4d cinema thingy and tons more XDXDXDXD
Other for me too. Silver Dollar City completely blew me away when I went this past summer. There's not many rides, but the ones they do have are incredible. Plus, the overall atmosphere at the park is amazing. I honestly wasn't expecting anything this good in Branson, and I now can't imagine anything being better.
IoA has 2 coasters, which both suck. I heard The Hulk is extremely overrated and is very tame, and Dueling Dragons is just an average B&M. Sure, the theming is good, but theming isn't what makes a coaster.
I don't see why everyone likes the big parks. They almost always have a bad atmosphere, and don't have that feel like the small parks like Knoebels do. The small ones are the ones that have the good coasters also, like Legend and Raven @ Holiday World are so much better than any coaster at CP. They also know how to take care of their coasters.
Plus, I don't think that CP or IoA have free soda [;)]
I love Disney's California Adventure. I would say it is a medium sized park. It has a great atmosphere, and nice scenary. I don't know what's so great about, it just is.
SFMM all the way! Huge park, average Six Flags theming, and some amazing (and 1 over-rated) rides. Goliath made my day for me when I went for my first and only time. Best of all, it's only about 300 miles from me which is a 6 hour drive thru the middle of no-where (farmland) and then thru mountains.
