- Just a heads up, this video was created about a week before Parque Reunidos announced that they were going to be acquiring Adventureland. If you’re wondering what I think about the decision, it’s a mixed batch. - i’ll have a little 10k subscribers video up in hopefully a week or so. it’s not possible to begin working on it while i’m in Hawaii right now but it’ll happen soon. - also, i haven’t been to holiday world; please stop asking lol thank you everyone for your continued support 🙏🏻
I was about to say why didn’t you put Holiday World on here, but then I read your comment and that explains it. I’m glad you are using your experience first and not assuming by what you expect it to be by online videos.
I live about an hour from Holiday World, and would put that at the top of any list of independent parks. Add that it is possibly the oldest theme park in the United States, and the stellar lineup of coasters, and it is a winner all around. The free sunscreen and drinks just makes it better.
@Anonymous person kennywood is far from Knoebles and Hersheypark. It’s not easy to claim that since he has been to the first two he would also be near to Kennywood. But yes I am guessing he has only been to these ten.
For me I would rank them this way: 1. Holiday World - Great top 4. They really run this park well. 2. Hershey Park- Very good deep coaster line-up. Best of the Indy Parks. Really close between this and #1. 3. Knoebels- Really good park. Talk about value. A must do while in PA. 4. Silverwood- I tend to agree with you. The coaster collection is slightly better than Lagoon. Tremors ran great this year and Stunt Pilot pushed them ahead of Lagoon for me. 5. Lagoon- Cannibal is really great. Great setting! Lay-out is a bit strange but a must visit park. 6. Indiana Beach- I know Gene Staples owns a few parks but it is hardly a corporation at this point. Solid line-up and will only get better in 2022. 7. Waldameer- I liked this park. Ravine Flyer II is a great woodie. I haven't been to Adventureland but I'm guessing it should be slotted ahead of Waldameer and behind Indiana Beach. I've only been to Santa Cruz out of the three boardwalk parks. It was good but I would imagine the other 2 just have more to them.
My home park in BPB is an independent, we may not get rides all that often but when we do they’re generally interesting if only to try and fit them in with the limited space.
I just put my own list together for this and wanted to check yours out. I wasn't sure whether to consider Luna Park independent since I thought Zamperla operated the Park at Owa...but apparently they don't? Anyway, your list is close to mine with of course Holiday World and Mount Olympus cracking my own. Enchanted Forest was one that's hard to rank for me but I see you liked it a lot more than I did lol
Thanks for your video. I live outside of Philadelphia and have visited all the parks here in PA. I am glad to see you rated Kenobels so high. I found out about it when I had to take some training for my job in Williamsport Pa. I was not expecting much but was surprised how nice a park it was and really liked their relatively low prices including free admission and parking compared to what other parks charge. Over the years they have continued to expand their ride selections but also keep up their old rides and have only closed a few of their older rides. I also like their buying old rides from other parks and rebuilding them at their park. I also agree Hershey Park is a nice park with a great roller coaster selection but unlike Kenobles their price to park and enter the park is much higher so unless you plan to ride a lot especially the coasters, Kenobles is the better buy. I was glad to see some of the other family parks especially ones out in the western part of the USA I most likely will never get to attend.
Great video! Congrats on 10 K subs! I hope you get to 11 K subs soon as well! I think Holiday World might be worthy of a spot on the list. I know you haven't been there before tho.
I already left a comment on another video but I was born in Wildwood, but grew up near Hershey Park. But still fave family in Wildwood so we go every year at least once. I absolutely love the boardwalk as if is now, but when I was growing up their was so many more unique things. They had 2 haunted houses that were just so beyond incredible.
As a NJ resident I cannot recommend Wildwood/Morey's enough. The boardwalk itself is really nice (although not as good as it used to be) and at night is absolutely stunning with the lights and everything. Getting a view of the boardwalk from a few stories up is mesmerizing as well.
Glad to see my home park (lagoon) get some love. Even though I live in Idaho I’m still relatively closer to lagoon than silverwood and haven’t got the chance to visit there yet. Great list though. I absolutely love countdown videos and your channel is jam packed with them. I love it
Even though I don't rides coasters as much as I used to, Morey's Piers is still my home park and the Morey family takes good care of the park. Gotta appreciate them taking the effort to have the best SLC and Boomerang in existence. My biggest complaint is that they jacked up the prices once Covid happened and now a ride on their largest coasters now cost $13.50 per person compared to $8.80 a few years back. Their operations are also very slow but I usually don't care about it because oftentimes they're waiting for people to get on the rides as crowds are usually low when it's not a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday night.
Hersheypark is so big and slick it almost feels like it shouldn't count--it's the level of operation you expect from a major Cedar Fair or perhaps SeaWorld/Busch Gardens property. One of the best coaster parks in America. The Parques Reunidos parks in the US still have the feel of small independent parks, though technically they're not. My home park is an independent--Canobie Lake Park. The coaster collection is small but nice--at this point, basically one well-kept 1930s woodie, an ingeniously themed small Eurofighter and a kiddie coaster. Lots of good flats, a superb collection of kiddie and family rides (though it does lack a mid-tier family coaster), and the atmosphere is welcoming and charming. I think the thing that makes Canobie stand out among amusement parks is actually its collection of game arcades, including the best publicly accessible pinball parlor in New England (since my previous favorite shut down, at least).
Good list, and I haven't been to the ones I'm going to list below so more of a question on how they stand up. I'm not as knowledgeable either so maybe some of these wouldn't even qualify for this list haha. But what about: Holiday World, Dollywood, Silver Dollar City? Just ones I know names of with quality rides. Thanks for the video!
LOVE SILVERWOOD glad it made the list!!!!!!! I used to live nearby but moved to Orlando (theme park central)so this is saying a lot! if you're ever in the northern Pacific Northwest to go Silverwood
Haven't been to any of these 😢. However, I don't live too far from holiday world, adventureland, and lost island when that opens. Hoping to get to any of them soon
I'll admit, the omission of Holiday World hurts, but I know you haven't been there. Good list nonetheless, Hersheypark is well deserving of the top spot. Hopefully I can get to Silverwood in the near future, a lot of people have seemed to rave about it recently.
I know they own three parks but considering two are like 15 minutes away from each other with placement that is meant to be the alternative to big parks in "the area" but also technically two separate ones, got to shout out to Fun Spot Orlando and Fun Spot Kissimee. 8 1/2 years great GCI running as if brand new, go-karts are great and don't cost extra, SkyCoaster's $10 and huge, Gator spot, additional classic and new rides and coasters (Mine Blower is intense but not rough like Qwazi was but has an inversion). Fun Spot Atlanta kinda makes it like a chain but idk, the term wasn't used until it was acquired. They've done a lot to add even though the middle still needs much work, but the RMC coaster "ArieForceOne" is going to be great for it.
I'd argue that eastern PA is the best place to live for theme park aficienados. You're just hours away from both the Top 2 on this list, as well as major chains Cedar Point (Dorney Park) and Six Flags (Great Adventure), not to mention all the Jersey shore beaches and NYC's Coney Island (and American Dreams to boot) ... and if you want to go just a bit further, you're a day's trip by car away from Kennywood, all the Ohio parks, Busch Gardens, King's Dominion, and so much more. (The only problem, of course, is *paying* to go to all these places ... which is probably why I rate Knoebels highest on a list like this. I can take the whole family for a full day's worth of entertainment and not feel like I spent the college fund for the privilege.)
👍 Great job ! Considering you haven't experienced Knoebels at its full potential (2020 Covid 2021 staffing shortage) It's nice to see you placed it at #2 . Hope you'll have flying returns to that park once Flying Turns returns . 😎
@@CoasterDash Got it. Just need to ask you if think this is the best 34 second review on the Phoenix coaster you have ever viewed? 🤣😂 th-cam.com/video/pNRX0tT-CG8/w-d-xo.html
Of the ones on the ones on the list i have only been to SCBB but currently have plans to visit knobels and Hershey Park next summer. I also forget that kennywood isn’t actually an independent park even though it feels like one.
Knoebels is definitely one of the most beautiful parks anywhere. Ugh Hershey park was my first job at 15, and I spent my summers there for many many years. But I just don't love it like people seem to. I feel like the price is completely outrageous and the hills throughout the park are killer lol
@@CoasterDash I thought you'd know that, but you just look at my icon. Meanwhile, you put Intimidator 305 above Steel Vengeance, I'm doing it too. They're both my 2 favorite coasters, but #2 is SO close, it's 49% tied.
I’m glad monster is finally getting the praise it needs. I love the smaller parks. Indiana beach is one of my home parks. I love it. Can’t wait to see the new park in Iowa. It’s a good time to live around Chicago.
My home park is Hershey and its a phenomenal park. it almost tops cedar point for me on my personal ranking, but Millie, GateKeeper, and Raptor were all closed
Merry Christmas. since 2021 was the year I got interested in coasters I’m riding more coasters in 2022 also as 4th place my home park I’m happy lagoon made me interested in coasters one of my friend went to Hershey park this year I can’t wait for 2022 I might go to six flags St. Louis
As someone whose home parks are 1 and 2 I knew it was coming from a mile away. Also don't forget Hersheypark also has ZooAmerica free with with your ticket and has Chocolate World a stone's throw away.
Great video. A non coaster enthusiast would think Hershey is owned by a big company. I almost like it more than my home park (great Adventure)*sorry edit, had a few ;)
It sort of is owned by a big company, just not a big theme-park company--Hershey Entertainment & Resorts owns a number of hotel and other properties around the area, and it *used to* own Lake Compounce and Dutch Wonderland. And while it's technically separate from the Hershey's chocolate company, there's some common ownership and obviously a lot of coordination between the two. (The chocolate company actually runs Chocolate World.)
I live 2 miles from Lake Compounce here in Bristol CT which is owned by them. They have kept the park looking beautiful and invested in it alot. Had my doubts at first, but they have rejuvenated the park with help from Kennywood who owned it before them. Once a family owned park. Oldest park in the USA @@CoasterDash
My two favorite parks in PA, would have to be Knobels and Hershey, and there have been some big changes in Hershey Recently and on the Horizon, I want to go back sometime soon. Also Knobels has some great Pizza, some of the Best Amusement Park Pizza I've ever had. There are two rides they can never get rid of, Comet and The Kissing Tower, more so the Kissing tower, it it the tallest Ride at Hershey at 250 Feet tall, fun Fact, Hershey can't build a Roller coaster, or ride, taller than that, as their county won't allow that.
@@CoasterDash No Problem. Your vid’s always put a smile on my face when I’m bored. You have inspired me to be a Coaster thusie and I hope I can get to riding more coasters soon!
I too am angry about this list, but not because of stupid old Holiday World. As a Florida resident, you did Uncle Bernie’s dirty bro! It needs to be at number one! OUTRAGEEE
@@CoasterDash I thought you said family owned & small companies. I don't get everyone's fascination with Knoebels. It was okay & I did love the food prices and the fact you can bring your dog but they basically have 3 coasters because Flying Turns is never open & only one of them, Phoenix, is great. You aren't the only one but I don't see how anyone prefers Knoebels over Kennywood.
Wow they way he trashed uncle bernies amusement park is not good . Uncle Bernie's amusement parks does not match up to the other amusement parks featured in this video but it is the only amusement park that's outfielder has and it doesn't have many wives but for us South Floridians is all what we have so this ain't the first person to trash Uncle bunnies amusement park I mean you have to give me credit for where it is the only amusement park in South Florida it just doesn't have the 30 Verizon the Thrilla Jackson's as the other family-owned amusement parks but it is an amusement park for a South Floridians

I’ve been to Kennywood before but that park is owned by Parque Reunidos
Yeah how does that not make the list but a park with only 2 rides that I thought had gone out of business 10 years ago makes it as #4?
For me I would rank them this way:
1. Holiday World - Great top 4. They really run this park well.
2. Hershey Park- Very good deep coaster line-up. Best of the Indy Parks. Really close between this and #1.

You don’t know how long I spent trying to find this video. Months of looking for it and I finally found it again!
I’ve been to very few independent amusement parks, but I have been to Tivoli Gardens in Denmark and that’s about as good as a park can get.
I can’t wait to get there!
Congratulations on 10,000 subscribers. It’s amazing how much work you out in this year.

@@CoasterDash I thought you said family owned & small companies. I don't get everyone's fascination with Knoebels. It was okay & I did love the food prices and the fact you can bring your dog but they basically have 3 coasters because Flying Turns is never open & only one of them, Phoenix, is great. You aren't the only one but I don't see how anyone prefers Knoebels over Kennywood.
Where’s holiday world
Adventureland just got bought out
i’m aware
uhhhhh holiday world????

Yeah.
My first investment with Mr James Davis earned me profits of $250,620 and ever since then he has been delivering

Uncle Bernie's amusement parks does not match up to the other amusement parks featured in this video but it is the only amusement park that's outfielder has and it doesn't have many wives but for us South Floridians is all what we have so this ain't the first person to trash Uncle bunnies amusement park I mean you have to give me credit for where it is the only amusement park in South Florida it just doesn't have the 30 Verizon the Thrilla Jackson's as the other family-owned amusement parks but it is an amusement park for a South Floridians
