I have the chance to go to ONE theme park anywhere in the united states this summer, I have only been to lagoon, SFMM, and Disneyland Cali. I want to be able to experience as much new thing as possible. But also in my eyes smoothness > classics. So what is your opinion? Where should I go?

Well, since you've been to SFMM then the park with the next most "new things" is Cedar Point. Also, their Intamin's are quite smooth.

^Really? Because I heard that the majority of their rides are pretty harsh.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahaha...hahaha....hahahaha.....

only one or two rides there are only a little rough.... the good majority of their rides are VERY smooth. People who think Mean Streak is rough need to ride Voyage........ now THAT is a rough coaster..... lol

Millennium Force, Maverick, and Dragster are all glass. The B&M's are aging a bit but they are still pretty smooth, although Mantis has some strong positives in the second half that are hard on the legs. Magnum gets a rap for being jerky on the trip back, but personally I love it. Really the only "rough" rides are Mean Streak and Blue Streak in the back of the train.

Islands of Adventure blew me away with smooth as glass rides, but its not that hard when the only coasters are B&M's that are well taken care of.

I would say it depends on your budget and how far you want to travel and if you are looking for just coaster thrills or a good mix of flats and coasters.

I'd say either Cedar Point or SFGADV, both have a large selection of diverse roller coasters, as well as some which are considered top-tier. As far as which to choose, GADV is pretty much a B&M showcase + El Toro, so I suggest there if you're partial to them. If not, go with Cedar Point. Either way I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I went to CP last summer and it was a blast. The only problem is to get on everything on a crowded day is really hard. It would be best to spend 2 days, that's what I did. But this summer I'm going to SFGAdv, so I'm not sure which one's better. It all depends on if you are looking for Top Class coaster or a good Theme Park experience. There is just SO many.

But if you're just looking for a big collection of awesome coasters, I'd go to CP or SFGadv.

Since you're a vagina and all why don't you go to Knott's Berry Farm and avoid Ghostrider since it'll hurt your fragile tush.

So it looks like it's either CP, SFGADV, or SFOT. Thanks for all the input guys!
