Sometimes less is more. Take Knoebels. No central main entrance, no hub...its not really 'designed' at all. Its just sort of organically "there". Part of the charm is walking between the buildings and attractions, exploring it along the way. It also makes revisits more exciting as there is something else you discover that you probably missed the first time. Even if you've been there numerous times, you can get disoriented and not remember where something was because its layer upon layer upon layer. You NEED a map.
A key to a parks success is the maintenance/service road access. Great parks have great ways to move workers, food, trash, mech ect. Bad parks are built randomly with no or limited service/maintenance road access. Leaving the only way to restock or move goods and services is the busy park midways pushed around by workers. Or hope you have enough storage for your island of a restaurant in the middle of the park. The greatest ones are disney, ie Epcot. Some that are poor or have very limited if any is Darien Lake. This could be a video on it's own, and why some great looking parks don't seem to grow as fast as others. Great video, Thanks for the content.
@@jacobo878 Epcot's problem is that walking around the World Showcase lagoon (which is currently the most live area of the park) can be a real slog. It's easy to get sort of stuck back there and never return to the front area until you leave.
I think EPCOT's layout is very aesthetically pleasing and it's easy to find your way around. The disadvantage of EPCOT is that you may have to walk a VERY long distance if you want to get to something on the opposite side of the park, particularly if you are in the World Show Case. In a certain way that's nice because it makes that area flow very well and it's quite the experience to slowly make your way through the World Show Case one pavilion at a time. But if you want to hop around the park a bit or you have a Fastpass (RIP Fastpass) that isn't conveniently close by then EPCOT can be a hassle. I think the castle parks and Animal Kingdom are a bit more convenient and straightforward.
I visit two parks this pass summer Kings Island and Busch Gardens Tampa . I have to agree with you.Kings Island kills it.The park entrance into International Street with the Eiffel Tower is simply beautiful. Because of the layout you can easily ride the major coasters in a day. I also love the location of The Beast. Busch Gardens Tampa is a great park. But it can be confusing going from one ride to the next. However I like the location of Iron Gwazi.
I was just at Kings Island last weekend. I was gushing over the layout. Might be my favorite overall park. When I started your video I was hoping you’d shout it out, so I definitely agree with your pick. Loving the quality of your content. Keep it up!
I haven't been to enough parks to make a good determination on this but when you were going down your list, Kings Island, my home park kept coming to my mind. Magic Kingdom as well, but think the thing that sets KI above MK is that with MK, you have to walk down the Main St to start your journey to the rides. With KI, you can head straight to Action Zone from the entrance by just walking to the left. No need to walk down Main St. I understand why Disney does this, but I think it puts them a step below KI. Also, I take exception to you leaving The Beast off your list of big rides. Just expand it from Big 4 to Big 5. lol The Bat was originally called Top Gun. I believe it was the first movie themed ride Paramount installed after purchasing KI. I remember when it first opened, the line would stretch the entire length of the walkway back to it.
Cedar Point is a Peninsula, not an Island. It is at the end of the peninsula and was forced to create the bridge to it to offset the traffic on the roads with all the houses on it.
im from belgium. and for me the best theme park lay-out ive done is the one at Toverland. the only thing is that the entrance isnt really in the center off the park but it is beacause their going to expend en build into the left side off the park. the path layouts are just perfect, No death ends. rollercoasters are well spread out off the park (not in one area). Its really an nice park! if youre in the Netherlands defenetly visit toverland. And you will see why the lay-out is almost perfect.
For me my favorite park layout is actually Six Flags Great Adventure. Very easy to do a large loop and hit every major attraction as almost every coaster is on the outskirts of the park. Little to no backtracking and the spacing between attractions is well done.
While I loved the park the layout is awful. Everything’s in long dead ends, while it’s good to loop around it takes about 5 minutes to walk to green lantern/superman, then another 5 or so minutes to kingda ka, el toro and medusa with no rides in between, and then about 10 minutes to the other side of the park for nitro, Batman and jersey devil. Also it seemed the stations were far away, on all rides it was a LONG walk throughout the queue especially green lantern and superman. That really is the only complaint I have along with the locker thing and the location/transportation issues
I actually find it really easy to navigate through hersheypark. It’s just walking distance back and forth from the front of the park to the back of the park for me. But that’s just me.
SFGAm is nice and simple, easy to navigate, and has no dead ends or areas without major rides. Another park that has a large ring path in the interior, and all the rides extend outward.
Kings Island, Kings Dominion, Carowinds and Canada's Wonderland were all built on a quasi-Disney model. That model of patron traffic, distribution and individual 'intuitive' choice for where the park guests wanted to start their ride experience was a well researched, tried and real-time human nature model from Disney, 20 to 30 years before any of these afore mentioned Parks opened. Basically, engineering models based on previously successful business plans.
I like Six Flags New England. its a T shape. Sure theres a dead end at each side but youll never get lost...and at one end of the T is Wicked Cyclone and the other is Batman: The Dark Knight and kind of in the middle is Superman: The Ride
One of the only problems is the water park’s entrance. You have to walk over the entire right side of the park to get to it, it’s stupid. And also the walk from the parking lot to the park is a problem that most people point out.
@@Cookiesr4life ok...the 8.mile walk from the parking lot is a legitimate complaint lol. Then again i did an even longer walk at BGW a couple weeks ago.
I used to work at Cedar Point and can definitely say that, while yes the walk from the main entrance to steel vengeance is roughly 30 minutes (at least for me), the magnum entrance almost negates that long walk. The length of the park is also why cedar point has rides that transport you from the front to the back (sky ride and cedar point railroad). I never found it that big a deal having to travel from the front to the back because of this, but on days where the park is beyond capacity I can definitely see the problem there. It would really help if they opened another frontier lift imo.
What do you think of Six Flags Great America's layout. It's a loop so it isn't perfect but, especially since they painted a line on the ground going around the park, it is difficult to get lost and isn't that difficult to memorize. It's got a bit of a central hub too with the carousel and fountain and the rides do seem decently spaced out there.
Canada’s Wonderland has a similar layout to KI and is pretty good overall! I think the only issue is that the mountain takes up what would be the “central hub” space, but manages the issue well by having a path looping all the way around it, creating a central loop as it were. We also have a big lagoon near the centre of the park, but it isn’t too difficult to navigate around either.
I can’t even be that mad at the walk to Bat solely because when it was brand new it was required for how massive the lines got. Obviously you can still say it’s a stupid idea, and it is, but I can’t get too mad at what at the time was probably a sound decision
Carowinds is really great at most of these besides a center piece. All of the attractions you can get to within like 5-6 minutes (Afterburn) and they actually have a second entrance by Afterburn (they don't use often anymore) but it it's there for busy weekend overflow so when it's open it's perfect. They did a lot of great renovations when they built Fury. This was my home park as a kid. Even though it's lost much of it's charm it is a MUCH better park now.
Kings Island certainly has one of the best amusement park layouts. That said, if you include theme parks as a separate category then I think Disneyland has to have the best layout. It just makes sense and is aesthetically pleasing. The amazing thing with Disneyland (and to a lesser extent The Magic Kingdom) you can always easily get to the hub but somehow every land still feels immersive and separate.
I love Kings Island and the layout is great but I do have two major knocks on it: you DO have to walk through planet snoopy to get to Diamondback (if walking from entrance to Diamondback) and the action zone is all one big dead end in my opinion. Amazing park though!
Canada's Wonderland has a pretty excellent layout too. It's a big park, but you can move around easily, and find everything with ease. But then, it falls in with Taft owned parks too at that time.
don’t know if you have seen, but if you look at tony clark’s new blog post, he talks about how wicked twister is getting demolished soon and then at the end says “The area of the park is being prepared for future development. No, I will not tell you what that future development is ;)” so it’s now pretty clear there’s probably gonna be a coaster
@@sandraweilbrenner67 i personally doubt dragster will go anywhere, however the possibility of them modifying the ride heavily (especially the queue line) has been basically confirmed going into the 2022 season
If you think Kings Island has the best park layout than wouldn't Kings Dominion, Canada's Wonderland and Carowinds have.good layouts too as they're practically similar?
i think sfog has one of the best layouts. It doesn’t necessarily have the central hubs, but it has a “central alley”. The only problems are that you have to walk all the way back around to go from goliath-> Acrophobia/ TC, and the Gotham City dead end.
Agreed about KI. I like it because the paths are so wide, there's hardly any bottlenecking of crowds except maybe in the kids area. I kind of disagree about your CP comments though. The front entrance isn't great but the resort entrance by Magnum is great imo. The park layout isn't too bad if you enter from there and not the front entrance. Also wanted to mention that many parents prefer parks that have junior rides/kid attractions spread out so that their kids always have something to do while the adults can go on big rides. It's a bit of a bummer to have to walk all the way to a kids area to keep your children entertained at a park like KI.
Personally, I can't bash the walk from Gatekeeper to Steel Vengeance. I have done that walk multiple times this year, just because I tend to prefer riding those two back to back. With parks like CP getting me more off my butt, I appreciate that this walk helped me to lose 30 pounds this year. I usually park in their back parking lot, and would also say that having multiple entrances really helps.
For Cedar point I mean what can they really do about the way the landmass the park sits on is shaped though that’s not something they can fix really And they have tried to remedy this by putting multiple entrances around the park
It’s my home park and I love it, but Holiday World has a terrible layout. Walking all the way back to the corner for Thunderbird and Voyage was fine, but back up that hill…..
6:24 nothing wrong with that bottleneck and the front of the park being empty halfway through the day. Be a passholder and get on the great coasters early, then get to the front of the park after the GP clears out. Less than a 15 min wait on GK everytime because of the strategy.
Welp I once walked 15.1 miles (mom used apple watch)at cedar point on august 4th 2021 and I went cedar point but minus cedar point shores because my moms watch would’ve get a wet and broke so yeah.not a flex but yeah my felt more soar than a soaring eagle.
I think my home park, Canobie Lake Park, has a really good layout. It's spread out a bit along the shore of the lake, but the entrance is close to the middle of the side opposite the lake. The closest thing to a bad dead end is the Tall Timber Splash location at the far end of the Old Canobie section, and you'll notice that many people forget that slide even exists--but there are some other rides along the way. The two best coasters, the Yankee Cannonball and Untamed, have entrances pretty close to each other near the north end of the park, but the walk from the entrance isn't that long and the main midway will lead you there. Most of the park is well-connected, and I actually think it's nice that there's a good mixture of kiddie rides and thrill rides around the park, as well as a couple of larger kiddie areas. The one thing it lacks is an iconic hub, but it's got a lot of nicely themed food stands and such that can serve as landmarks. I guess you can see the Ferris Wheel and the Starblaster and Yankee Cannonball from some way away.
KI has a great layout but it is flawed with the way Area 72 has one narrow entrance. Also attractions not well distributed with empty Oktoberfest. All Disney Magic Kingdom parks meet all 5 criteria better.
The food made by the one I live closest to is terrible, but the one half an hour further away makes some of the best french fries I've ever eaten. The difference in quality between McDonald's locations is staggering
Kings Island's layout is definitely the best. It's very walkable and and easy to memorize.
I know right
Kings island is a great home park
That's because it's based off Disney's castle parks layout.
It’s a great layout thats still full of dead ends

Knoebels is such a unique layout. I love it
Loved kings island layout, we save the bat for last because of how removed it is from the rest of the park
Crazy King’s Island is so stacked that you can list a big 4 and Beast doesn’t even get mentioned
Or mystic timbers
Hopefully they put something spectacular in Vortex's old spot to make it even more stacked!
“No thrillseekers walking through planet snoopy”. Not if BLUE ICE CREAM has anything to say about it :P

honestly I think you just can't beat Disneys Hub layout for their two big castle parks in the US. It is just a perfect way to split all of the crowds.
I feel like Epcot has an amazing layout once they get the center part all built
@@jacobo878 Epcot's problem is that walking around the World Showcase lagoon (which is currently the most live area of the park) can be a real slog. It's easy to get sort of stuck back there and never return to the front area until you leave.
Yeah, Disney really got it right the first time. It's no wonder that the castle parks around the world all have variants of that.
I think EPCOT's layout is very aesthetically pleasing and it's easy to find your way around. The disadvantage of EPCOT is that you may have to walk a VERY long distance if you want to get to something on the opposite side of the park, particularly if you are in the World Show Case.

It’s actually what the KI layout is inspired by. The creators of the park loved the four leaf clover design of Disney.

You can get around a rather large park in a very short amount of time.

It's shocked me KI hasn't made a shortcut to for the bat by now, but I always seem to get lost trying to get around the stunt coaster
Having not been back to Kings Island in a few years, that big gap where Vortex used to be looks really weird, even knowing they were removing it...
We need a big looper to replace our big looper right there!

i think sfog has one of the best layouts. It doesn’t necessarily have the central hubs, but it has a “central alley”. The only problems are that you have to walk all the way back around to go from goliath-> Acrophobia/ TC, and the Gotham City dead end.
Kings island: Orion to The Bat feels kinda, not fun.
In reality, adding an entrance over there from Great Wolf Lodge would make it not feel so awful.
Agreed about KI. I like it because the paths are so wide, there's hardly any bottlenecking of crowds except maybe in the kids area. I kind of disagree about your CP comments though. The front entrance isn't great but the resort entrance by Magnum is great imo. The park layout isn't too bad if you enter from there and not the front entrance.

Maybe minnesota zoo because its getting 3 giga coasters and 2 stratas and the layout is so easy to navigate
