We are just confused because in one breath Cedar Fair closes on of their parks rich in history but in the other breath they tout historical significance of parks with less history behind them. They just cant seem to get it straight, and obviously neither can you. _________________ Greed is what caused GL's demise and that just makes me sick.

Absolutely nothing to do with history, just a report on Millennium Force receiving "No. 1 favorite steel coaster". _________________

Yes, yes, a fine award for a fine park.  Fifth place for Cedar Point, pretty good (although weren't they 4th last year?    ).   Also, did you notice Kennywood got 1st place? _________________ "It's a very special ride.

Let's see, FAVORITE TRADITIONAL PARKS 5 Cedar Point (Sandusky, OH) Theme park of course CP won't win because it isn't a theme park. Best for families and most beautiful, well CP is for teens and most beautiful of course Disney will take that. FAVORITE STEEL COASTER 1 Millennium Force, Cedar Point (Sandusky, OH) 3 Magnum XL200, Cedar Point (Sandusky, OH)  BEST NEW ATTRACTION 1 Maverick, Cedar Point (Sandusky, OH) Hmmm, seems Kennywood won a lot of things. I guess they are better than CP now, with their whopping 5 coasters! Woot, woot! _________________ Cedar Point-The best park on the planet! RIDE ON!

FAVORITE TRADITIONAL PARKS 1 Kennywood (West Mifflin, PA) 2 Knoebels Amusement Resort (Elysburg, PA) 3 Indiana Beach (Monticello, IN) 4 Blackpool Pleasure Beach (Blackpool, UK) 5 Cedar Point (Sandusky, OH) FAVORITE THEME PARKS    * Walt Disney World has been members’ favorite theme park since 2003.    * Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure is back in the top three after being off the list for two years. FAVORITE THEME PARKS 1 Walt Disney World (Lake Buena Vista, FL) 2 Disneyland (Anaheim, CA) 3 Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure (Orlando, FL) 4-tie Hersheypark (Hershey, PA) 4-tie Holiday World (Santa Claus, IN) 4-tie Kings Island (Kings Island, OH) BEST PARK FOR FAMILIES    * Knoebels Amusement Resort and Walt Disney World tied for the top spot.  Both parks have been in the top five since the question originated in 1999, with Knoebels named as the Favorite Park For Families eight out of the last nine years. BEST PARK FOR FAMILIES 1-tie Knoebels Amusement Resort (Elysburg, PA) 1-tie Walt Disney World (Lake Buena Vista, FL) 3 Holiday World (Santa Claus, IN) 4 Idlewild and Soak Zone (Ligonier, PA) 5 Kennywood (West Mifflin, PA) MOST BEAUTIFUL PARK    * For the eighteenth consecutive year, Busch Gardens Europe has been named Most Beautiful Park.    * Walt Disney World has held the second place for the last three years, with De Efteling in the top five since 2001. MOST BEAUTIFUL PARK 1 Busch Gardens Europe (Williamsburg, VA) 2 Walt Disney World (Lake Buena Vista, FL) 3 De Efteling (Kaatsheuvel, Netherlands) FAVORITE WOOD COASTER    * Tied for number one with Knoebels’ Phoenix, the Voyage (Holiday World) jumped to the top in only its second year.  Last year it was members’ second favorite wood roller coaster. FAVORITE WOOD COASTER 1-tie Phoenix, Knoebels Amusement Resort (Elysburg, PA) 1-tie Voyage, Holiday World (Santa Claus, IN) 3 Thunderhead, Dollywood (Pigeon Forge, TN) 4-tie Beast, Kings Island (Kings Island, OH) 4-tie Lightning Racer, Hersheypark (Hershey, PA) FAVORITE STEEL COASTER    * Since Millennium Force first appeared in the standings in 2000, Cedar Point’s Magnum XL200 and Millennium Force have been in either the number one or number two position… until this year.  Superman has now edged into the second spot, pushing Magnum XL200 to number three.    * Superman has been in the top four every year since it debuted in 2000. FAVORITE STEEL COASTER 1 Millennium Force, Cedar Point (Sandusky, OH) 2 Superman, Six Flags New England (Agawam, MA) 3 Magnum XL200, Cedar Point (Sandusky, OH) 4 Phantom’s Revenge, Kennywood (West Mifflin, PA) BEST NEW ATTRACTION    * For the first time, NAPHA members decided that three rides merited to be on the best new attraction list.  Most years, there is only one, and in 2002 no rides at all were named.    * Last year Voyage (Holiday World), which tied as the favorite wood coaster this year, was the best new attraction. BEST NEW ATTRACTION 1 Maverick, Cedar Point (Sandusky, OH) 2 Mystery Mine, Dollywood (Pigeon Forge, TN) 3 Renegade, Valleyfair!, (Shakopee, MN) The National Amusement Park Historical Association, founded in 1978, is an international, educational and enthusiast’s organization dedicated to preserving and documenting the heritage of the amusement park industry, past, present and future. Few interesting things to note.  Although Cedar Point keeps adding coasters, it has not helped it in the voting for best traditional park.  Seems that sheer volume comes up short when the overall park is judged.  Planet Snoopy is a step in the right direction, but Cedar Point really needs to focus on the atmosphere more.  While Maverick is a great ride itself, take one look at Black Mamba http://www.rcdb.com/id3117.htm and see how much more could have been done with the theming. Kennywood and Knoebels got top spots in favorite traditional park, and scored high in best park for families.  Cedar Point should be worried, attracting families is becoming more and more important.  Again, Planet Snoopy is a step, but many more are needed. Knoebels got third for most beautiful park and first for favorite wooden coater.  It's the little park that can! _________________
