I have never been to any other park besides SFGAm, well except Kiddieland in Melrose Park, but that park is gone.

Anyway, I would place SFGAm above Kiddieland without a doubt.

Park Chains:
1. Disney
2. Universal
3. Merlin (Theme Parks)
4. Busch
5. Herschend
6. Cedar Fair/Six Flags

Favorite Parks:
1. Disneyland
2. Islands of Adventure
3. Busch Gardens Williamsburg
4. Alton Towers
5. Dollywood.

The best part is that each of my favorite parks is a favorite for an absolutely different reason. Disneyland is pure nostalgia, IOA provides stunning theme to its attractions, Williamsburg is just exactly what a regional theme park should be, Alton Towers has got to be one of the most gorgeous parks around (with a few killer rides) and Dollywood has some of the best staff anywhere in the industry. It's difficult to rank when I've had fabulous days at each place!

[Foltzy]

Chains:
1. Disney
2. Six Flags
3. Cedar fair
4. Universal
5. Busch ( whatever it actually is)

There is just something about disney that makes it great. Having been to disney world, disneyland and Disneyland Paris there's just a great feeling with the parks (i plan to go to disney Tokyo, and Hong Kong once Shanghai opens). Anyways. Universal has good theming. Six flags I think has better rides than cedar fair. But cedar fair is more "friendly" if you know what I mean. But cedar fair rides can be pretty good too
