I’ve been a big Disney fan and only recently went to Disneyland! Now, Disney parks aren’t great roller coaster parks. There are only six proper roller coasters between Disneyland and California Adventure, which sit right across from each other. In Disneyland, you have indoor Space Mountain, mine train Big Thunder Mountain, and the OG Matterhorn Bob...
With only two actual roller coasters, I’m ranking Universal Studios Hollywood above Six Flags Magic Mountain only because of theming and REALLY only because of Harry Potter. While Disney tends to use animatronics in their innovative dark rides, Universal tends to use screens. Which is only appropriate for a movie-based park. (And honestly, most of ...
Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia (near L.A.) has the MOST coasters of any amusement park in the world, with 20 roller coasters! TWENTY! Here we gooo: Apocalypse is an extreme wooden coaster. Batman The Ride is an inverted steel B&M. Full Throttle has the world’s tallest loop, 3 separate launches, and a “sci-fi tunnel.” Goliath is a steel hyper ...
While I might prefer the charm and history of Knott’s Berry Farm below, Six Flags definitely raises the stakes in the thrills department in both of their California parks. Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo (about an hour north of San Francisco) has 10 roller coasters. Superman Ultimate Flight is a crazy huge loop with one super-high inversion ...
What used to be an actual berry farm with an old west town has grown into the theme park behemoth of Knott’s Berry Farm, recently celebrating its 100th anniversary. Knott’s boasts 10 roller coasters and excels in high thrills, plus plenty of unique experiences. Ghostrider is a modern wooden coaster, the “longest, tallest, fastest on the West Coast!...
California’s Great America in Santa Clara (near San Francisco) is a Cedar Fair park with 9 roller coasters. 5 steel coasters offer high thrills: The Patriot is a floorless B&M. (You’re seated, but there’s no floor.) Flight Deck is another B&M (B&M=quality, y’all), this one inverted (aka, also no floor.) The Demon is a 70’s looper with tunnels, incl...
SeaWorld San Diego has 5 roller coasters, with one more on the way this year. The newest is Emperor, California’s tallest and longest dive coaster. Electric Eel has multiple launches, with a double-loop design. Tidal Twister is a steel dueling coaster. Manta zooms around the park with multiple launches. Journey to Atlantis is a hybrid roller coaste...
Legoland in Carlsbad (about 35 minutes north of San Diego) is mainly a kid’s park, but one on steroids! Nothing like the little podunk parks at the end of this list. There are more than 60 attractions, most of which engage kids with action and imagination – building things, moving parts, digging, climbing, and learning. Included in the offerings ar...
Gilroy Gardens, about 40 minutes below San Jose, is just as much a garden as an amusement park, and it looks quite pretty. The park is situated around a lake with food-themed rides (mostly aimed at smaller kids) like a garlic twirl and a swings ride from a mushroom. A train, raft ride, and monorail glide through the six different gardens. Gilroy is...
The historic Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk has been open since 1907! Its oldest roller coaster, the Giant Dipper, has been operating since 1924! Two other coasters, the spinning Undertow and the kiddie Sea Serpent, are much newer. There are also seven spinning thrill rides, seven more flat rides, an antique carousel, a log flume, a Skyride, a haunted ...
