That new ride that goes straight up the middle of Kingda Ka looks like fun! I'm partial to wooden roller coasters, though, so I'm a El Toro fan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closest-amusement-park/page/2#post-1568856 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 20:21:22 +0000 fancyfunction 1568856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I've only been once. We went on the Dragon Coaster - it looks like it won't be stable (but really is), and I figured the Cyclone at Coney Island is still going strong! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closest-amusement-park/page/2#post-1568021 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 14:19:21 +0000 sera_87 1568021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Calypso &amp; mont cascades are water parks pretty close - about 30 minutes. </p> <p>Canada's wonderland is 4-5 hours away and La Ronde is 2 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closest-amusement-park/page/2#post-1567515 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 11:55:13 +0000 MrsADS 1567515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 hours from Disney/Universal/everything in Orlando. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closest-amusement-park/page/2#post-1567304 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 10:38:04 +0000 Alivoo01 1567304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Six Flags, but it's about an hour or little over an hour away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closest-amusement-park/page/2#post-1567303 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 10:37:50 +0000 CastleGirl 1567303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're less than 20 minutes from Six Flags America. But I honestly forget that it's even there unless I take an alternate commute home and pass it. We went once 5 years ago, when we discovered they had instituted height maximums on a number of roller coasters. My husband is 6'6" and was 2 inches too tall to ride many of the rides, so we don't even consider going there anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closest-amusement-park#post-1567131 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 09:48:22 +0000 littlebug 1567131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>PA really does have a derth of amusement parks, doesn't it? Right now we're in Philly, so we're about 40 minutes from Six Flags. But we're moving back to Central PA within a couple months, so we'll be about 10 minutes from HersheyPark! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closest-amusement-park#post-1567128 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 09:47:38 +0000 californiadreams 1567128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Canada's Wonderland is very close to where i live! but i haven't been since high school and was not living close by! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closest-amusement-park#post-1567101 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 09:39:37 +0000 Littlebit 1567101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kings Dominion is about 15 minutes away.

It's so small that I'm not going to even bother posting the name because no one would know what it is.</p> <p>I think there's one in Idaho or something that we could drive to in like, 11 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closest-amusement-park#post-1567082 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 09:32:27 +0000 GrapeCrush 1567082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 2 pretty close, like 30-45 mins. One is smaller and one is larger. Plus Canada's wonderland is pretty close to is too if we cross the border</p> <p>ETA: actually Canada's wonderland is about 2 hrs away...but still not too bad </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closest-amusement-park#post-1567074 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 09:29:29 +0000 Reese 1567074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are about 30ish minutes away from Canada's Wonderland but it has been a while since I have been there.

We have a small one nearby in NH but it's not one we would go to since Six Flags is so close. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closest-amusement-park#post-1567035 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 09:18:33 +0000 LuLu Mom 1567035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Worlds/Oceans of Fun is 3 hours away, otherwise we have a smaller one that is 45 minutes away but I doubt we would ever take LO there.

Disney will always be my favorite, but CP is a lot closer. My DH is big into roller coasters, so for him it's great. I like it too but haven't gotten to go in a couple of years between pregnancies and babies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closest-amusement-park#post-1566976 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 08:55:59 +0000 pui 1566976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Canada's Wonderland is around 30 minutes away from us.</p> <p>I'm not really a amusement park type person, but I've been there a couple of times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closest-amusement-park#post-1566972 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 08:55:30 +0000 AmandaB8 1566972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Worlds of Fun KC is 30 minutes away from our house.
