I love Dollywood, it's been years since I've been there and I need to go back. The only park I think is put above it is Silver Dollar City.

I haven't had the chance to get to Holiday world, but from what I hear Voyage definitely has a shot of unseating Mystic Timbers as top woodie. And the food there is one of the reasons I might be able to get my non-thoosie wife to visit with me.

I'm right there with ya on Steel Vengeance, it's been my #1 since the first time I rode it!

I've had the chance to ride all the major new ones but those are Epic Universe and Alpen Fury and Siren's Curse gets my vote too.

I'm not a Disney guy, but I think I've got to get on Rise of the Resistance, do the videos do it justice? There is so much going on I figure you have to go on it a few times to take it all in.

Silver Dollar City is our top bucket list park, waiting for Coaster Con in 2 years. Holiday World has great food and some great family rides and themed areas plus water park is best I've been too. Videos for Rise Resistance are ok but taking everything in is huge experience. The entire queue line and waiting areas are great and yeah theirs so much to see as you go through ride, nothing like seeing life size AT-AT

This is only in relation to the parks I have been to (I've been to way less parks than people think!).

Best Park: Operations wise Kings Island, hospitality wise Holiday World

Best Wooden Coaster: Voyage finally won out this year for me because I ended up on trimless. Holy cow.

Best Steel Coaster: Fury 325 - I get the hype, SteVe kicks my butt too much! Fury is stupidly rerideable.

Best Kids Area: Planet/Camp Snoopy at Kings Island, though that might be nostalgia talking

Most Beautiful Park: Cedar Point, but I'm biased

Best Food: The fish at Grand Pavilion, I get it every time I go

Best Dark Ride: Either the Houdini ride at SFGA or the free Hershey's Chocolate World tour

Best New Roller Coaster: Siren's Curse is the one I've been on, unless we somehow count TT2.
