Are you an adrenaline junkie and can’t get enough of those amusement park rollercoasters? Looking forward to a new season of rides and water parks? Here are three of the top amusement parks in the United States that should be on every park lovers must-visit list:
Cedar Point – Ohio: It’s fitting that the “Roller Coaster Capital of the world” would be on a list of top amusement parks. Considered by many to be the best amusement park in the world, it features a total of 17 coasters, one of which is the highest in the world. It also includes rides that have 80 degree drops and some with speeds of 120 miles per hour, perfect for thrill seekers. There’s also a water park, kids park, and race track for the non-coaster fans, or those who just can’t get enough. There’s also dining and entertainment, as well as five different locations for lodging. The park is open from May to October, starting this year on May 6th, and the water park (Cedar Shores) is open from late May to early September.
Hershey Park – Pennsylvania: If you’re taking a trip to Pennsylvania any time soon, you have to make a stop at Hershey Park. The famous chocolate company has a theme park and surrounding attractions that’s perfect for all ages. The park itself includes 13 roller coasters, but that’s not where the fun ends. Surrounding Hershey Park is a zoo, a garden, and a falconry! There’s also The Hershey Story, which describes the story of Milton S. Hershey and provides interactive elements, such as the Chocolate Lab. And, of course, there’s Hershey’s Chocolate World, where you can eat sweets till your heart’s content. The theme park opens in April while The Hershey Story and Chocolate World are open all year long.
Knott’s Berry Farm – California: Knott’s Berry Farm has something for everyone. More than just roller coasters, this unique park offers over 165 rides, ranging from coasters to a water park to kids’ rides. There’s an arcade, a marketplace, and tons of food to eat, including their famous Boysenberry Pie. During the day, children can enjoy Camp Snoopy, which includes kids’ rides and toys. There’s also experiences such as Ghost Town, the Mystery Lodge, and even panning for gold. The park is open all year long, making it a perfect vacation destination.
