As the year begins to wind down, we take a look back at the great things that happened in the Amusement Industry. Lots of parks opened brand new attractions, and shows. Other parks kicked their services and fun levels all the way up. But which park did the best job at making sure that guests had the ultimate day? Over the next few weeks we’ll be breaking it down with our Thrill Weekly Poll and choosing exactly that. Which park was park of the year? You decide!

We’ve divided up the country into different regions. Each region has tons of parks nominated! At the end of the poll, there will be a winner and a runner up. The top two from each region will face off with the winners from the other regions. Two from each region will enter, but in the end only one park will be crowned Park of the Year.


This week we focus on the parks in Region Three. Region three consists of parks in the following states:

  • Kentucky
  • Ohio
  • Indiana
  • Illinois
  • Michigan
  • Wisconsin
  • Iowa
  • Minnesota
  • Missouri
  • Arkansas
  • Louisiana
  • Mississippi
  • North Dakota
  • South Dakota
  • Nebraska
  • Kansas
  • Oklahoma
  • Texas


If there is a park that you don’t see nominated, please be sure to nominate it! We try to stay on top of all the themeparks, but sometimes a few do slip through the cracks. If the park is not nominated, and is not in the states listed above, please be patient, we will most certainly get to your park in the coming weeks.
Remember that you can vote once a day for this and every poll!
This poll will close Wednesday, and Round 3 will begin!
We fully encourage everyone to post their favorite park via Twitter, and Facebook. If you are a park, or a fan of a park, we fully encourage everyone to spread the word and make your park a winner!
