Hello, if i go to america i wanna go at least to one SFMM or CP. i saw on rcdb.com that distance between the parks was: 2001 miles (3222 km) in a straith line.[shocked] My mom said that i must pick one park. because the distance was too much to got to both.
So
What park is the best between these 2? and please vote also where the most good parks are lying around[:)]. thanks.

My views on coasters and parks are quite different than most enthusiasts, so I'll just give an opinion of most enthusiasts about these parks that you'll probably agree with [:)]

Having been to both parks, I would say that CP is the better of the two. Its well kept, though the wooden coasters aren't maintained well (same with SFMM),has a nicer environment, and the coasters are more thrilling [lol] (sorry, can't help but laugh at myself saying this as my opinion isn't very positive of these parks nor coasters). But I'd say go with CP definitely.

CP is also closer to a lot more parks, like Geauga Lake, and if you can head east of it approx. 5-6 hours make sure you go to Knoebels, it has 2 incredible wooden coasters, and IMO better than the stuff at CP and is a better park overall.

I have only been to Cedar Point, but my family is going out west this summer so we plan to stop at SFMM. But for now I say Cedar Point only because it has some cool coasters, its clean, and the view is amazing because of Lake Erie. Cedar Point it is.

Go to Cedar Point. I've never been to SFMM, but I think the atmosphere to CP looks better. Also, SFMM has a lot of rides closing a lot and they don't have good capacity. (i don't know if this is true or not)

Thanks all for voting, one thing i know sure, I'll go to AMERICA. only still one question, are there any coasters in CP or SFMM where you have to be SMALLER then 2 meters(6,6ft)? because my brother is more then 2 meters(6,6ft)[;)]

cool, my brother don't really want to go to parks, because he thinks he's too large to ride every coaster.
so were only going to 1 or 2 parks. I'm sure going to CP, but i hope also to SFMM.

I agree with my good friend grim here, I think X is a one off experience and should be ridden at all costs, lol. So I would say go to SFMM, thats where I would choose I think. They are both great parks, I think its hard to choose between the two.

and to dirk, I very much doubt that there is a limit that says you can't be taller than 6'6". I think the limits are probably a bit taller than that, maybe closer to 7'0". But I have never seen a ride where there was a limit as small as 6'6". I am nearly 6ft and I have never been near the limit line for any ride.

LOL, that's a long ways north, Marine World is closer than PGA. Trust me I saw both SF parks on one day, I was pissed off though cuz we didn't have enough time to go to Marine World like we were planning to.[:(]

CP has better coasters. Millennium Force, Top Thrill, Magnum, just to name a few. SFMM probably good too (I haven't been there) Their ride "X" looks very intresting. I must say, CP is still probably better.
