I definitely agree with PA and OH. They were the first ones I thought of. The #3 spot is a wild card. But I thought FL, CA, and VA.

The problem with FL is it's great for steel but not wood. Same could be said for CA.

I've always thought Columbus, OH or Harrisbug, PA would be strategic locations– don't know about other quality of life issues.

I live in Kansas City– I am surprised at all of the positive strokes to Missouri but thank you– it's nice to be recognized.

Pennsylvania hands down! Then I would say Indiana (quality over quantity!) and finally, Texas.

Good list, I live in PA and ive been to hershey, dorney, and knoebels. By the way, does anyone ever notice how new york, the huge and crowded city, has no good amusement parks? Coney Island has only one coaster worth riding- the cyclone and thats just for historical value. Darien Lake looks ok, but only has ride of steel that looks good. Great escape looks pathetic, and that is a six flags park. Overall, NY needs another theme park. The city has so many people and so many skyscrapers and works of engineering, it needs a good coaster and a good theme park. Cedar Fair should take over Darien or something and make a good amusement park.

Thanks for the comment Prof.BAM. I've been really busy and a bit out of the loop. New post about the Snow White Coaster is on the way!

screamscape reports that the new Snow White Coaster at Magic Kingdom will have cars that sway side-to-side with the turns. at 1st, I thought, oh great more suspended, than I saw new technology. Suspended above the tracks. B&M did this with their Inverted coasters to create floorless.

What about New Jersey? You've got Six Flags Great Adventure, with the world's tallest and fastest rollercoaster as well as 2 other notable world class rollecoasters. You've also got the famous Coney Island Cyclone, and you've got Morey's Piers and Playland's Castaway Cove, and Steel Pier.

Lucky you! That's what I'm talking about. At least you're aware of all of the great parks around you and you take advantage of it.

I live in Easton, PA and I have to admit, it really is pretty sweet. I’m within 2 hours of Dorney, Hershey, Knoebels, Dutch Wonderland, and Six Flags Great Adventure, and within 6 hours of a a lot more. I take mini, one day road trips just about every weekend in April and May every year.
