Amusement Parks around the World

[21stamps]

I thought this would be a good idea for a thread. My family is amusement park/adrenaline junkies and I’d love to see personal photos of different amusement parks other than the ones that we visit.

@StarWarsGirl may have photos of Hershey Park.
@KBLovesDisney may have photos of Carowinds.
@Darkbeer1 may have Knott’s photos? (Sorry if I tagged the wrong person here)

@anyone can post their photos here!

Indeed

That's all for now. I'll try to take more when I go back this summer.

Back from a weekend at Carowinds. It was awesome!!!

Alright, so photos... I only have about three because unfortunately I had to store my bag in a locker for most of the rides.

By the way, Fury 325 makes the Intimidator feel like a kiddie coaster. Reason?

Fury 325 goes up to 325ft with a max vertical of an 81 degree angle and will reach speeds up to 95mph. Yeah, it was intense! Oh, and the ride itself was 6,602 ft long.

A couple of notes for people who want to go: Absolutely NO Food or Drink is allowed in park. Everyone goes through a metal detector. Bags are also limited and *hip packs (guess that word is bad) are highly encouraged. (I saw a good bit of these on Saturday.)

Speaking of *hip packs, here's the one I took:

Yeah, buddy!

Alright, alright. Park photos:

Afterburn

And here is a four-in-one shot:

Foreground - Nighthawk

Light Blue - Fury 325

Red - The Vortex

Sorry I didn't take more pictures! However, here are some of Fury from Google:

And yes, it looks this absolutely terrifying, but it is awesome! (And this shot isn't even from the ground level...)

And that's all you see going up

Thanks for the shout out, but leaving in less than 24 hours to attend the Mid-Atlantic area of parks for CoasterCon, Six Flags America, Kings Dominion, Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Carowinds, plus some smaller amusement parks, plus add having an appointment with my congressman at the Capitol, and visiting my niece, an Air Force Sergeant at Ft. Bragg.

But tens of thousands of photos can be found here...

Feel free to post anything, they are open to the public.

And I will be uploading photos are during my trip back east, but due to my coma last year, less of them due to my limited hand skills.

Not doing coaster con, but next week we're going to do Carowinds, King's Dominion, and Busch Gardens Williamsburg for the first time. We've bought some kind of line-jumping service for all three parks, but I'm still unsure of which attractions you're supposed to rope-drop.

Also, anyone got any advice for Colonial Williamsburg?
