What theme parks have you visited? Which ones were the best? Which were the worst?

I have been to the Canadian National Exhibition(CNE), Darien Lake in NY, Canada's Wonderland, Universal Studios in Orlando, Centreville(when I was really young).

The CNE was pretty fun, though since I was like 11 the last time I went, I never went on any of the big rides(I love huge roller coasters now).

Darien Lake was fun, I went some of the bigger rides there and enjoyed it. I wasn't too big on the trailer we stayed in, it smelled bad, and the beds were dangerous, I almost fell off of it and hit my head!! 8O

Universal studios(the one in Orlando Florida, not California) was really fun. They had a lot of awesome simulator rides there, and the Harry Potter simulator ride was awesome!!

Canada's Wonderland was awesome. I went with my cousins last year and I went on all the big rides, except for the Leviathan. I'm going again this year for my birthday, which is this Friday.

Centreville I enjoyed as a little kid, but its not the place for teens and young adults cuz the rides are made for younger kids.

I've never really been to a bad theme park....

I have been to Disneyland California in 2005 and it was fun but crowded.
I went to Seaworld Orlando in 2007 and 2012 and it was fun but much of what was there was shows or exhibits which I prefer rides better.

Disney World countless times especially last year as an AP. I still love Magic Kingdom and Epcot but Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom have half the park being great and the other half just needs to be demolished and replaced, sadly Disney doesn't really do big changes anymore.

Universal Orlando several times since I was young and I am looking forward to being an AP because unlike Disney, things have definitely changed there in both parks since my last visit there in 2008.

I have also been to the Space Center in 2008, 2009 and 2011 and it was a great learning experience especially seeing a shuttle that just returned from orbit 30 feet away on a tour bus and two on the launchpad at the same time.

When I was young I thought Universal, Seaworld and Disney were owned by the same company and were across the street from each other.

I also have been to the Florida State Fair on the last day in 2012 right after going to Megacon the day before, the fair is so big it's more like a theme park than a fair with many "lands".

I went to Dollywood just 2 weeks ago.

I have been to Astroworld (RIP) here in Houston, Six Flags Over Texas, Sea World of Texas, Opryland (RIP, though it was really crappy), and Silver Dollar City.

Not much of a theme park person - did visit Disneyworld in Florida and really like it I'd go back again.

Universal Studios I could take or leave.
