My closest park is The Great Escape, at about 45 min. or so...
...but I consider Six Flags New England to be my home park, it's about 1 1/2 hours from me.

(home of the best, in my opinion, Superman Ride of Steel--I have ridden all 3!!!)

Mine is Valleyfair, but I am originally from Illinois so it really is Six Flags Great America. I've only been there once before they closed Shockwave. That was a great ride. I'm about 30 miles from Valleyfair though I have yet to check it out. Hopefully this year I will.[;)]

well, really dutch wonderland is my home park, it's about 20 mins away BUT it's a kiddy park. The only nice thing about being there is Philadelphia tobogan's first coaster, but redid by CCI in 1992. It's my first ever rollercoaster, and it isnt that bad of a ride. About 55ft tall but only 2000 somethin feet long

Yeah, it is a dump, when I went there most everything just bored me except for The Chiller. Nitro feels like you go 30mph and its perfectly smooth, so there is no intensity at all, I have honestly rode kiddy coasters that were just as intense as that. Same goes with Medusa about the intensity of it.

I just got accepted to work at Cedar Point over the summer. Therefore, not only will Cedar Point be my home park, it will literally be my home.

I don't really have any parks close to me, but I mostly visit Six Flags over Georgia about 4 times a year, and i've been going to Six flags St. Louis since i was about 4.
