What's the Best

[The Nightowl]

hmmm... that is SUCH a tough call. my opinion changes kinda based on the seasons. during the winter/holiday season, i become a giddy kid again and run around disneyland enjoying all of the re-vamped rides. my favorites are "haunted mansion holiday" and "joy to it's a small world".

[Andy Massey]

That one is kinda hard. I love Disneyland, and everything about it. But I also love the thrill rides at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Then again, Knott's Berry Farm has some amazing rides (not to mention Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner). Eh, you know, I'll have to go with Disneyland. It's just amazing.

totally, andy! i'm headed there tomorrow for a girlfriend's birthday. yes, we are all in our mid-to-late 20s and STILL disneyland is our default fave! there is still a soft spot in my heart for six flags and knott's -- though my ancient bones (and head) can no longer handle the thrill rides. so sad!

I'm jealous! I'm 25 and I still feel like a little boy when I go to Disneyland. My fiance and I have a tradition. The very first ride we go on is without exception is the Jungle Cruise. It's cheesy but I love it. Have fun!

You kids...I am 60 and still love Disneyland. First trip was in August, 1955 only weeks after it opened. And like Anja said it would be my 'default fave.' Having said that, Knott's is a must for those seeking trill rides or with young kids for Snoopy. They are so close to each other, anyone here for more than just a day, needs to do both.
We are so lucky to have had these two parks a part of our entire lives.

Andy, the Jungle Cruise...a great ride that reading your comment made me grin from ear to ear.

I love the Jungle Cruise. People look at me like I'm insane because I still think the corny jokes are funny. Pair of docks. Classic!

[My Two Sense]

Ooohhh, we love Disneyland and enjoy having year round passes there! And the extra decor at Christmas is so much fun especially for Small World! We are going to Knott's this weekend though and my 10 year old in particular is looking forward to the faster roller coaster rides! :) I love them but like Anja said, can hardly tolerate them as I get older (so sad lol). I make her daddy go with her on some (particularly the spinning in circles, or very high dropping rides) and I manage the more traditional roller coaster rides. My younger two are more up for Camp Snoopy :) But I think Knott's kind of corners the market during Halloween, always a good time there!

i love the cheesy jokes on the jungle cruise! it ALWAYS reminds me of being a kid. and heck, we should do EVERY THING we can to keep that spirit of childhood alive :)

fright nights at six flags magic mountain LOOKS awesome -- but that's about all i could do there... look. i just can't make myself ride coasters anymore at this ripe ol' age of 28 :)
