Cedar Point or Six Flags Great America

Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.
Postby SFaddiction84 on August 14th, 2005, 5:39 pm
Which do you prefer: Six Flags Great America (or other SF park) or Cedar Point

Explain why.

I like Cedar Point Way better, but i just cant think of all my reasons. I knew them before i started typing but then i lost my train of thought

Ive been to both and I must say I liked SFGAm better. I was skeptical about it, but everyone is just so happy to work there and it's just an awsome park. CP has people who don't look happy all the time, like they want to work somewhere else besides a themepark.

I think Cedar Point is much better than Six Flags. The rides are much better than at Great America. There are a lot more people there but you can't tell because the park is so much bigger.

I have to disagree with you about the employees. Most of them are gangsters and kids I know from my school who hate working there.

I've never been to Cedar Point, but I would have to disagree about what people are saying about the SFGAm employees. I have heard a lot of employees say some awesome spiels before the rides and hype up the station.

Cedar Point is a nicer looking park and has more rides to offer, so I say CP is better. But SFGAm is not far behind...

How is it nicer looking? Because they have a lake wrapped around it? Other than what nature has provided which the park had nothing to do with, CP is a concrete jungle with little to no theming or anything else asthetically appealing.

Don't get me wrong, I liked CP, but it's completely overated as far as how much fanfare it gets.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

CP is a concrete jungle with some pretty good coasters. SFGAm has by far the best atmosphere of any park I have been to. Also, Viper and AE kill(!) CP's woodies. It's probably a tie but I would give SFGAm the edge if pressured. BTR is better than Raptor, V2 is better than Wicked Twister, and RB is better than Magnum (ejector air=ouch) in my opinion. MF and TTD of course have no counterpart but those are bit overrated.

Yes. Raptor is slightly boring. BTR is a nonstop, intense ride. Just because it's bigger doesn't mean its better, which has been proved numerous times.
