No. I like King's Island, have been many times, and it's a very good park, but not "by far the best". Nor really is Cedar Point "by far the best". Considering your statement, how many other parks have you been to?

FYI, King's Island isn't even listed here here in the Best Park category. Nor for 2007, 2006, etc.

I agree, CP is awesome (see my avatar), but Six Flags Magic Mountain is no slouch. I've been to both.
BTW, CP has 17 coasters; SFMM has 16 and should have their 17th (a kiddie coaster) next year.
IMO, if you've been to CP recently (and don't live near CP), there are plenty of other good parks in the US that are worth a vacation trip to visit.

I've been to magic mountain once, that is the one near LA right? I can't really remember it as much as cedar point so I guess it didn't leave as much of an impression

I heard that Cedar Point is the 2nd best amusement park in the USA. I forgot which one is suppose to be the best one but I know it wasn't located in my state too. There's some real cool parks out there even water slides, I saw one on tv called Dollyworld owned by Dolly Parton. Looked pretty fun.
Dollywood is a great park, though it's not wholly owned by Dolly Parton. It was originally called Goldrush Junction and was bought by the Herschend family (now Herschend Family Entertainment, or HFE) in 1976, who renamed it Silver Dollar City. Dolly didn't become a partner until 1986, and the park was renamed Dollywood. FYI, HFE also owns Silver Dollar City in Branson, MO.

Dollywood doesn't have a ton of rides, but the atmosphere of the park is one of the best in the US, and IMO has the most friendly staff of any park. They also have Thunderhead, one of the highest rated wood coasters in the world. And Mystery Mine, a customized, highly themed Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter model, and there's not another one that is enclosed and/or themed to that degree in the world.

You didn't read correctly.
