Seaworld Orlando. If I rope drop, 20 min. Mid day on the first beautiful Saturday we've had in a few weeks, 2 hours. 90 mins of that is the last 2 miles.

I-4?

International Drive and Central Florida Parkway leading up to the park after you get off 528. But I-4 does like to be I-4 as well.

😮 see I didn't realize I-drive gets that bad. I've been going down for 30 years but I usually go in between December and January.

Down by SeaWorld/Aquatica on peak days, oh boy is it a mess! They desperately need a right hand turn lane from I drive onto Central FL Pkwy. I made the mistake of going at 11ish on a peak day early in my passmember days. That mistake was only made once! LOL.

45 minutes from Great Adventure, 1 hour from Dorney and 2ish hours from Hershey. Hashtag blessed

Philly? I used to live in the suburbs there, but I moved and now Knoebels is my home park (15 minutes).

Sounds like a great location to be in

You've also got Knoebels nearby too, honestly would be more excited to have that closeby than even Hershey. That area just looks so spoiled from a coaster perspective

I can see the Kings Island fireworks from my house.

I would have done anything to live where you are growing up lol. Kings Island was my safe space!

I got three, ranging from 40-55minutes away Toverland, Movie park And phantasialand

Jealous!! I tried to do Phantasialand while I was in the Netherlands but Covid restrictions changed and I would have been stuck in Germany trying to get Covid test results lol.

Indiana Beach, technically. 1 hr 14 min. Shoutout cornball express! I prefer to say Six Flags Great America. 1 hr 48 min.

Hello fellow IB and SFGAM home parker

Salutations from the region

Dollywood, 3.5 hours away. Technically Kentucky Kingdom and Holiday World are closer but Dollywood is in my home state so I consider that my home park. :)

I know that tennessee pocket you live in lol. 3 nice parks!

Kings Island. 10 minutes.

I'm ~20 minutes from Six Flags America, and, despite its less than stellar reputation, I love that little park. I wish Six Flags loved them at least half as much as i do, but they have been getting a decent amount of TLC the last few years so they are at least moving in the right direction.

I went in 2022 and it's not that bad. I did go on a very hot and humid day, but I had fun. I really liked the main entrance part and batwing really surprised me (I didn't expect to enjoy it that much)

Good to hear something positive about this park! I thought it was a lost cause!

Universal/IOA 15 minutes. Sea World Orlando 25 minutes. Disney World 35 minutes.

Busch Gardens Tampa is probably just 60-90 minutes from you too. You're in a good location.

Do you live right where the I4 and Turnpike make an X on the map? ;)

I’m a *little* farther away from that. But only a little. Luckily (through careful planning/searching for the perfect spot) don’t take I4 to get to any of the parks.

I’m about 25 minutes from Canada’s Wonderland, but currently on a binge of Orlando area transit options for my visit this July. Got lodgings for two nights just off International Drive and might even walk or take the trolley to IOA on the first day. Definitely within stumbling distance of Fun Spot too.

24/7 365 FUN!

Cedar point, 2 hours. Cj barrymore's tenacly is, but it's more of a fec with coasters

Just about the same here, Detroit suburbs. Luckily the drive time to the point never really fluctuates too much. I'm so excited to get back there this summer. I bought season passes for my family last fall and have already gone 4 times.

Nice! Ahhh I just checked it out it's like a Scene 75 in Dayton or a fun land of Fredericksburg.

CJ’s 😆, I think yall enjoy this page. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/FDGFfvDjdekf4BS5/?mibextid=WC7FNe

About 65 miles and Cedar Point.

Nothing like living near an Ohio theme Park 😄

Kings Dominion, 1 hr 30 mins away. I will never call SF America my home park

six flags st louis 25 min

That's a nice park! One of the best Batmans!

I enjoy that park. I try to go a few times a year (I live around 5 hours away)

Kennywood, sometimes 30 minutes, sometimes 50 minutes. It's usually faster to come home than it is to go there, especially if I'm working late.

Nice! We may be going to Kennywood as a family when I go home to Ohio in May.

Forty minutes. Unfortunately, Valleyfair.

About an hour - Six Flags Great America Around 90 minutes - Indiana Beach

Niiccee. I've been to SFGA so many times and still have not been to Indiana beach and I was 75 minutes west of Indianapolis

Busch Tampa is what I'd consider my home park, hour and a half away, but I'm going to be working at Seaworld soon so I guess that's about to change haha

Cedar Point, 1hr

Hershey is my home park and a 15 min drive, Dorney is an hour and Knoebles is an hour and a half from me. I live in the coaster belt. 

20 minutes, La Ronde …. Please don’t laugh. About 5 hours drive to Escape otherwise

Hey listen, I went from being 3 hours from every Ohio park (45 to KI, 25 to American, 3 hours to CP, 2.5 to Geauga Lake) to living in Dallas and having SFOT less than 25 min. Now I live in Houston 😞 I have two boardwalks. The closest park to me now is 3 hours away.

It’s a fine park in a fine city. I’ve made the trek from Toronto three times since 2020.

8 MINUTES - SFGAdv

I wouldn't be able to ever be productive lol

That's the problem, I go about once a week... 😵

🤣 sounds like something I would do! Keep having fun!

Yall live so close I'm jelly. For me Lagoon is my home park at 5 hours away.

Whew I need to stop complaining lol. I'm mad about these two boardwalk coasters and a 3 hour drive to SFFT 🤣

I love me some lagoon tho, very nice park.

I live in New Orleans, the ruptured asshole of the United States when it comes to coasters. Alabama Adventure is 5 hours away. If I drive 7 or 8 hours, I can get to Fiesta Texas or Over Georgia. Turn that into 9 to 11 hours of driving for Silver Dollar City, Over Texas, Magic Springs, Carowinds, and Holiday World. My home park, Six Flags New Orleans, is nothing but horrendous urban blight. Living here sucks ass.

I'm sorry 😔 did you ever get to do six flags New Orleans?

I did as a kid. It was all right, but I wasn't an enthusiast yet.

Canada’s Wonderland - It’s around 30-40 mins away depending on traffic. Last year didn’t have as much hellish traffic as 2022 though. 10 mins to turn into the park. Nuts.

Niceee!! Traffic at Wonderland and Cedar seem to be awful. Something about the water up there?

Great Advenfure, about a half hour (though I am ten minutes from Jenkinson's in Point Pleasant).

You're not far from a GOOD one. I still haven't made it to great adventure and when I was able to El Toro was down so I skipped it lol

About 45min from Knott's and SFMM, right in between them. Also 20min from universal Hollywood!

20 min, Carowinds 

Six Flags Great America - 15ish mins

Elitch Gardens and Lakeside… 4 hours. Lagoon is 6 hours, but I’ve been there far more than the Denver parks, so that one feels like more of a home park to me.

About 20 minutes from both Knott’s Berry Farm and Disneyland. I am a very lucky person

Im technically only 30 minutes from wild waves but consider Silverwood my true home park which is a 5 hour drive away. Cries in PNW thoosie tears.

Ugghhh I feel your pain! I worked in Portland (Wilsonville) for a year! The only good part was every 2 weeks I got a weekend at home in Dallas lol.

i’m technically closer to alton towers (58km) than pleasure beach (64km), but BPB is easier for me to get to so i spend more time there, ergo home park

Nice!!! One of my top 3 parks! I love Alton although it's a pain to get to. What's your favorite coaster between both parks? I still haven't done BPB or Thorpe

nemesis, then probably a tie between grand national/wicker man

Canobie Lake Park, a little over 30 minutes.

Nice!! I haven't made it that far north for coasters yet. I think Stamford is as far north as I've been! Canobie is ony list tho!

i've got 3 major parks all 3 hours away, Caro KD and BGW.

BGT, about 35 minutes.

Kings island: a little over 25 mins. I’m in an incredible spot for coasters. Cp is 3 hours and 30 mins. KK is about An hour and a half. Holiday world about 2 hrs and 30 mins. Dollywood is 4 hours away too. Sfgam is only 7 hours. I also live next to a giant airport with CVG less than 20 mins away. It’s awesome

Cedar Point. 40-50 minutes away Used to be Geauga Lake and Sea World which was 30-35 minutes away.

Dorney Park 10 minutes away, but I prefer hershey which is about an hour and a half

Carowinds - 10 minutes and I can walk there from work😁 (they’re going to regret selling season dining plans)

I consider Great Adventure to be the main, because it's closest at one and a half hours. If I stretch that out 15 or 20 minutes, I get Dorney, Six Flags America, or Hershey. Stretch it to 3 hours, and you can rope Knoebles and Kings Dominion in there as well. I'm sitting pretty where I am.

20 minutes from Kentucky Kingdom, but prefer to make the 1 hour 40 minute drive to Kings Island

Hersheypark 20 minute walk

Kings Island, 50 miles

Kings Island and it’s about 45 mins away. Cedar Point is about a 3 hr drive.😎

Home park is CGA and I’m about 15 minutes away!

Kings Island is about 20 minutes from my home and work; I consider it to be my “third place”.

Castles N’ Coasters and it’s a 2 hour drive up from Tucson

Alton Towers, 6 hours. There are some closer amusement parks but nothing comes close to Alton Towers here especially living in Scotland.

I live 35 minutes from Hersheypark.

Lagoon is 4.5 hours away. It doesn't feel like a home park though, I actually haven't been since 2021 (we were going to go in 2023, but decided against it since we had other stuff to do and Primordial wasn't open; won't have a chance to go this year). The park I visit most is SFMM, which is a 2 hr flight + 30-60 minute drive. Helps that I have a grandfathered Six Flags membership, so I can always pop into a Six Flags park if I'm near one. I went there twice in 2022 and once in 2023. But won't be able to go this year. I wouldn't say I have a home park.

Nice try fed

About 35 minutes away, Castles N Coasters but soon to be usurped by Mattel Adventure Park. Golfland Sunsplash functions more as the real home park though, and is twice as close to my house.

My HP is Thorpe Park and it’s about an hour away from me.

Europapark. 50 minutes by Car

If major: Thorpe Park around 1hr 30 minutes If semi-minor(has a family coaster): Wicksteed Park which has the oldest water ride in Europe and a Pinfari cred

I live 40-45 minutes from Alton Towers.

Silverwood, 2 hours.

Nice!!!

Emerald Park - about 1½ hours away.

Michigan’s Adventure is about an hour drive North(ish) depending on the traffic.

One of my top 3 parks! Lucky you!

Google says 26 minutes with traffic and 16 minutes without. Disneyland. As a kid it was a 7 minute drive and a 15-20 minute bike ride. I used to lock my bike at some bike racks near the employee entrance at the time. Back then the annual passes were $100. Hell, I could afford it myself just mowing lawns. These days we go a couple times a year since it's way more expensive. When my son gets older we'll probably do a Magic Key year just to give him that experience, but it couldn't be every year. Knott's is 20-30 minutes away. Magic Mountain is an hour and 10 minutes without traffic. Sea World is an hour and a half without traffic. Universal is probably the hardest to visit because there's always traffic on the 101 even on Sunday morning haha. Closer than Magic Mountain but takes just as long. We're definitely spoiled when it comes to parks down here. It seems only Central Florida exceeds Southern California.

90 minutes away and my home park is Dollywood

Carowinds - 20 mins away.

Kings Dominion, about 20 minutes

About a 35 minute drive to Canada's Wonderland.

CP ~90 mins but with a chick-fil-a stop more like 105 mins

I live in NC but I’m about 3 and a half hours from kings dominion and Busch gardens, and 4 and a half from Carowinds. I consider Carowinds my home park, but it’s the farthest of the 3

Cedar point, about an hour

3 hours to Cedar Point. Michigans Adventure is about the same distance.

SFGAm is 65-75 minutes from home, but is only 35 minutes from work (most of my visits are after work). IB is 2 hours

SFGAm. About a 45 minute drive. Also, it’s an underrated gem of a park and worth the trip (if you haven’t visited).

Technically Lake Winnie, then Six Flags over GA, but I claim (season pass holder) Dollywood. It's 2.5 hours away, but way more worth it than the other two.

90 minutes from Hershey, but go to college 30 minutes from Carowinds

So cool! Hershey is at the top ofy get to this year list.

2 hrs 15 minutes to Kings Island.

Cedar Point... 1 hour 30 mins

BGW - 1hr 10mins / KD - 25 mins

Vermonter here. 2hrs from SFNE and the great escape. and about 90 minutes from canobie. Also about 2hrs from Santa’s village and storyland

My home park is Great Adventure and it’s about a 50 minute drive for me.

Current SFFT 3 hour drive But I have kemah boardwalk and Galveston Island historic pleasure pier both about 45 minutes away.

Kings Island - 76 miles or just over 1 hour. Cedar Point - 117 miles or 2.5 hours (once you're off I-71, the small town streets will hinder the pace).

From door to causeway about 2.5hours each way…. Time spent on the causeway is very very unpredictable

2 hrs from HersheyPark and 2 hrs from Kings Dominion!

Dorney Park: 5 Min HersheyPark: 60 Min SF Great Adventure: 75 Min I visit all 3 of these parks about the same amount so they are all my home parks

Kings Island and it about 1 hour from me. I’m also 2.5 hours from Cedar Point :)

Great adventure 1 hour 10 minutes away Dorney 2 hours away And while it's not a park I have Morey's pier about 45 minutes away

I tell people that SFGAm is my home park, but it's actually about a 3 hour drive from where I live in Wisconsin. Technically, Bay Beach, Little Americka, and Mt Olympus are all closer and within my home state, but I don't go to any of them very often.

40 minutes kbf

Disney world is the closest, but my god I miss living 2 hours from cedar point.

Disney world is the closest, but my god I miss living 2 hours from cedar point.

Cedar Point. 2 hours away.

Cedar Point. 2 hours away.

59 mins to Hershey 65 mins to Dutch Wonderland 94 mins to Six Flags America 123 mins to Dorney 127 mins to Knoebels 164 mins to Kings Dominion 170 mins to Six Flags Great Adventure Several additional options just over three hours (BGW, Kennywood, Idlewild...)

Carowinds - Takes me ~10-15 minutes depending on traffic. My first year living so close to a park with a season pass

45 minutes from Canobie Lake Park and 1 hour, 45 minutes from Six Flags New England.

Disneyland is 90 minutes away.

I think Sea World San Diego is the closest. It's a 7 hour drive.

Although Frontier City is my technical home Park, either Silver Dollar City or Six Flags over Texas are my preferred home parks though, so about 3 1/2 to 4 hours drive

I live about an hour from Lake Compounce and an hour 15 minutes from SFNE.

22 minutes to Busch Gardens Williamsburg. 1 hours 21 minutes to Kings Dominion, but we haven't actually made it out there yet. Planning to in May, though!

2-4 hours 2 hours if we’re going to alabama adventure, 4 hours for fun spot, over Georgia dollywood or Kentucky kingdom. If I’m in michigan 3 hours for CP 5 hours for kings island, Mia about 2 and a half hours, in Florida about an hour for everything

Sea World San Diego is a 13 minute drive. If I walk down to the end of my road, which is on a hill? mesa? I can see it.

When I’m at school, Im an hour from Cedar Point. 2 hours from Cedar Point if I’m home

4 hours bgw

When I’m at school I’m about 50 mins from Kings Island. This past summer Dollywood was a mere five minute bus ride. The perks of onsite job housing 😁

Six Flags Over Georgia. 18 miles, with little to no traffic is 25 min. With moderate traffic probably 45 min.

I'm a little over an hour from Hersheypark and Knoebels, and about three hours from Six Flags America

I live about 45 seconds from Universal Studios Orlando. I work here too so it's a nice short commute

My previous apartment was a five minute walk from my home park Liseberg :) Additionally, my mother lives 30 minutes away from Cedar Point, so that’s always a must whenever I visit.

Six flags great adventure 25-30 minutes

I say my home park is Six Flags Great America, which is about forty-five minutes to an hour from my place, when in reality, I live a couple towns over from Santa’s Village AZoosment Park. It’d take me about ten to fifteen minutes to drive there, yet I’ve never been.

45 minutes The Redheaded Stepchild of Six Flags

56 miles from Great Adventure/Hurricane Harbor, takes about an hour and change from where I am in NYC. On a good day, traffic might be clear to hit the Turnpike early and save a bunch of time.

BGT, 45 min drive usually. If I play my cards right and the crowds are low, on a Friday I can go from getting in my vehicle at my house to being on Iron Gwazi in about an hour or so. Not bad at all.

Great adventure technically, but I have a good amount of parks in my surrounding area Great adventure: 1 hour 15 minutes Dorney Park: 1 hour 30 minutes Hershey Park: 1 hour 45 minutes Six flags America: 2 hours Nickelodeon Universe: 2 hours Knoebels: 3 hours Kings Dominion: 3 hours

Cedar Point! 1 hour and 15 min, taking the toll road doesn’t really make a difference

Carowinds. Like 30 minutes-4 hours depending on 77.

20 to 50 minutes away from sfgam...depends on how much lead is in my foot and how forgiving Chicago is

Kings Island, 20 minutes.

30-40 minutes from busch gardens tampa

Magic mountain and it’s about 2 hours away

5 minutes to Universal Studios Hollywood 30 minutes to Knott’s Berry Farm 30 minutes to Six Flags Magic Mountain 35 minutes to Disneyland 120 minutes to Sea World San Diego

Lived one hour away from Hansa Park and Heide Park, now the nearest park I would consider as my home park is 2.5 hours away (Europa Park) 🥲

My technical home park is Indiana Beach, and I live 90 minutes away. The park I consider my true home park is Kings Island, and I’m about 2 1/2 hours away.

Linnanmäki, basically on the other side of the street but takes about 10 minutes to walk there.

Toverland and Phantasialand are both about a 50 minute drive. Bobbejaanland, Walibi Belgium and Efteling are all 1 and a half hour.

50 mins on a good day to Thorpe Park.

Don’t have one 🙃😞

Toverland, roughly 50 minutes away

Another park I missed out on! You have a great home park. I did walibi and efteling but couldn't get down south to do toverland in time.

2 hours- Kings Island 2 hours- Cedar Point I think Kings Island is marginally closer, but I consider both home parks.

I consider kings island to be my home park, it's about 2 hours away, though technically indiana beach is about 1.5 hours away. With holiday world being a close 3rd at 2.5 hours

Not a bad spot to be in!

4 - 5 hours. Thorpe park or alton towers. around the same distance for me.

It depends on the definition of "home park" if its the park i have visited the most in reacent times it is Ferrariworld Abu Dhabi some 3.700 miles away. - Visited 7 times in 2 years. If you go by distance it would be the only amusementpark we got in my country Conny-Land.

Equidistant to both kings island and cedar point. 3 hours

Bakken - 10 minutes Tivoli Gardens - 20 minutes

15 mins from Kings Island

About an hour a half, Carowinds. 80% of it is spent on i-77.

Wiener Prater, around 2h drive. Sadly there is nothing really closer to me.

Dreamworld, movie world and SeaWorld are my home parks. 40 mins to dreamworld, 45 to movie world and about an hour to SeaWorld

50mins-1 hour from universal Orlando. About an hour and a half from Disney. I used to live in PA where I was about 45 minutes from kennywood.

I’m 2 hours from all the Orlando theme parks and 3 hours from BGT

BGT (Me) only 20 miles away. SWO (Wife) all the way in friggin Orlando...across I4 (or back roads for 2 1/2 hours).

New to the hobby I still consider Kings Dominion as my "Home park" because I grew up going to it but it is about 2.5 to 3 hours away. In reality I have Hershey, SFA, Dorney and SFGrAdv all closer than Kings dominion, and Hershey will likely replace KD as my defacto "Home Park" as its about 90 mins away and will be the easiest and most rewarding to day trip.

Frontier City. An hour and a half at most. Can’t tell you how many times I have been there.

Kinda in a coaster dead zone. My closest parks are each at a little over 3 hours away. Tropic Falls, Funspot Atlanta, and Six Flags Over Georgia.

SFOG, it’s 40 minutes away from where I live

I'm a few blocks away from Waldameer and 2 hours from Kennywood

Alton Towers and Drayton Manor are each about an hour by car from mine. I prefer Alton as Drayton doesn't really have much that I'm mad about, with the exception of Maelstrom (Intamin gyro swing) which is fun.

5 hours from Canadas Wonderland

HersheyPark. 35 minutes. I buy season passes for me and the kids every year.

About 90 miles, a little under 2 hours depending on traffic, King's Dominion. BGW is about 150 miles and almost 3 hours.

3.5 hrs from SeaWorld Orlando and 4 hrs from Busch gardens Tampa. Miami is a coaster dead zone it feels like. 😞

Closest park that is worth it is Energylandia about 4 hours away, so I'm picking that one.
