Obviously Six Flags because there are so many of them... though Cedar is a good one to.

Harcourt Brace Jovanovich (Sometimes I just can't help myself)

But seriously, Disney has my vote hands down.

- Good operations
- Good food
- Excellent Accomodations
- Friendly Staff
- Year Round
- Clean
- The only virtual queue that makes sense
- Innovative Rides (mostly)
- Entertaining shows
- Unbelievable fireworks and night shows
- Flexibility (Park Hopper)
- Safe
- etc etc

I prefer to mate with donkeys over humans!

Since you said "Theme Park" I would have to say Disney.

Just because there are more Six Flags parks doesn't mean they are better.

It's all about Silver Dollar City and Celebration City baby! Dollywood is OK.

A donkey is a domesticated member of the Equidae or horse family.

I had to vote for Tussauds.

As they are the chain that own the parks I visit the most.
Like all the chains listed they have there problems in certain areas.

I personally rate Tussauds higher than Six Flags & Disney.

Currently I have not been to enough parks run by Cedar Fair to comment on them, but was very impressed by Cedar Point.

All the Star Parks were run by Six Flags, when I have visited them so again cannot make judgement.

The other chains listed I've not been to any of the parks yet

I vote for Disney, and agree with Ted, because Disney has the best arranged Theme Parks ever.

I voted for Tussauds. I look at them, and I think they are more rounded when it comes to the family/thrill mix. Disney is the best when it comes to making family parks, but I think Tussauds parks are a better mix.
