Amusement today named Cedar Point the best amusement park in the world for the 12th consecutive year.  Several other Cedar Fair parks also won awards.  Kings Island got an award for the best childrens’ area and Worlds of Fun got the best new ride of 2009 award for the Prowler.
I agree with Cedar Point as the best park for roller coasters, but my vote for the best new ride of 2009 would go to SeaWorld’s Manta.
