Since the vast majority of time in an amusement park is spent not on rides, I think it's pretty critical that they are pleasant places to spend time in. A lot of parks get this. Many don't...

[carowindsman6654]

There is man made shade and fans that squirt mist on you on major rides

Ummm...no. The Flying Super Saturator and log flume are myths and nothing more.

Ever walked barefoot in the waterpark?
Add some shade to the waterpark too, can I sue for burning my feet on hot concrete.

Didn't a tree branch fall on the track of the ninja at SFMM plenty of trees smh

[RollerBee]

Freak accident, they happen from time to time.

[Edwardo]

Several plane crashes happen a year. Hundreds of car accidents happen a year. Should we get rid of planes and cars?

[FamousAmos]

This is getting interesting. There are very few roller coaster accidents in the world.
must.. add... more... trees...*dies from heat*

[Firechaser]

Why do you people love trees so much? It's an amusement park not a national forest! I wonder if SFMM loves trees? Bring rides, rides and more rides forget about the trees!

Have you ever wondered why Dollywood and Silver Dollar City get so much respect with out a lot of rides?
THEY HAVE TREES AND THEMING.

[Atombomb]

Cedar Point and Kings Island get a ton of respect for their rides not for trees

[RollerBee]

Cedar Point is overrated because of their coasters. Their flat ride collection is better but most of their coasters are just so-so.

[FamousAmos]

Kings Island and Cedar Point both have many more trees than Carowinds. Not to mention better theming.

[Wormy]

The ever continuing tree debate. It’s been said before; most recently right about here for example:

Sorry Bart, I always liked you anyway. Welcome Mike!

Atombomb, one thing I don't think you are understanding, is that no one here is advocating putting in trees over rides. BUT if you look at a park like Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Dollywood, or Knoebels and others it isn't necessary to clear cut acres of trees to put in rides in. Trees and rides can interact and form a "mesh." Along with having trees alongside midways to form a beautiful park.

What you are describing is a parking lot carnival, no one wants that. Not even you I bet.

[Atombomb]

I agree we need some trees. All I'm saying is cedar fair is the best in the game and they know what they are doing

[FamousAmos]

I wonder if the Cedar Fair management gets ideas from this forum...
