Top 10 Amusement Parks (Outside of Orlando)

Here's another top 10 list we missed while we were away on vacation.  TripAdvisor asked their 15 billion users for their favorite amusement park outside the confines of Orlando and they came up with the following list-

1. Hersheypark - Hershey, Pennsylvania
2. Busch Gardens - Tampa, Florida
3. Cedar Point - Sandusky, Ohio
4. Six Flags Fiesta Texas - San Antonio, Texas
5. Family Kingdom Amusement Park - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
6. Six Flags Great Adventure - Jackson, New Jersey
7. Kings Island - Kings Mills, Ohio
8. Ober Gaitlinburg Ski Resort and Amusement Park - Gaitlinburg, Tennessee
9. Coney Island Park - Coney Island, New York
10. Carowinds - Charlotte, North Carolina

It seems to us that Tampa is basically Orlando so it's kind of cheating that Busch Gardens made the cut.  Also, where the hell is Disneyland?

I know that it is a little belated. But you forgot to include Hard Rock Park or now what it is called Freestlye Music Park.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading about places to stay in Orlando. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
