What is your home park, and if you don't have one, what is your favorite park?

Home-Lake Compounce
Favorite- Hershey or "RiverSide Park"...not SFNE...

Well, my "hometown" park would have to be Kings Island - I practically spent my entire teenage life there. Ahhhhh, the memories.

Currently, my "home" park is Coney Island - and I hope that never, ever changes. I can honestly say that I'm there nearly every week, regardless of the season or weather. Yup... home sweet home.

i have no home park in this world.

deep down inside of hrry, the roots are at trimper's. i've spent more time there than any park. though i haven't spent much time there as an adult.

i rode that boomerang (the tidal wave) so many times as a teen that if you look directly into my eyes you could probably see a POV of it.

I would like to think that I don't have one anymore. I used to consider Dorney Park to be my one and only love but I have gone away from that. I tried to rekindle that love on the last operating day of the season, but the love was truly gone and it saddens me greatly. Clementon is about 20 minutes away from me if that counts. If not, I guess Great Adventure would be my home park. I never thought that I would ever say that.

My home park is Six Flags Great Adventure, and my favorite park is Cedar Point. From here, it's a half hour drive to SFGA, and a 6-10 hour drive to CP.

My home park is Paramount Canada's Wonderland. Although, I love Kennywood's vibe and flats, I like Cedar Point's coasters more.

Woohoo! High-five for Kennywood! Kennywood is my home park as well.

As for a favorite, mine would be Cedar Point. Hmmm, I guess that makes me one of those much mentioned "fan boys" then, doesn't it?

I'd rather be coaster riding!

Considering I live in Hershey PA my homepark would have to be Hersheypark. Although I miss my old hometown park terribly- Busch Gardens Williamsburg. Hershey is great and all but it just is nowhere near the level of BGW. -sigh-

You guys are all so lucky! I live in Nashville TN, so my closest park that I've been to is ether Dollywood or SFOG. Thier both fantastic parks, and I've been to them both twice, but their both 5+ hours away! Back when I lived in california, Santa Cruz Beach Boardawalk was my home park. It was like 10 minutes away from my house! Paramount's Great America was a close 2nd To Boardwalk, but it was like 40 mins. away. When I lived in Prescott Valley, AZ, my home park was Castle's N' Coasters. (First Looper) I love all of these parks dearly, but not as much as Disneyland or Cedar Point.

My home park is Glen Echo in Maryland. It was defunct long before I was born (I think my dad went once though!), and now it's a cultural center that happens to have a pretty carousel and a few ruins. But I've been tied to that carousel my whole life. Even though I've moved away, I still come back to see it and my favorite horse every summer, and someday when I marry my boyfriend I'll do it there and ride my horse in my wedding dress.

Well, I live directly in the middle of many parks. (45 minutes from Orlando and 30 minutes from Tampa). So that include Disney World, Islands of Adventure/Universal Studios Florida, Sea World and Bush Gardens Tampa Bay and also 25 minutes or so away from a minor park called Cypress Gardens, but I hold annual passes to Islands of Adventure/ Universal Orlando so that is definatley my homepark.
