Lakemont Park is a community park in the small town of Altoona, Pa.The park has mini-golf, volleyball, basketball courts, and open fields. I know what you’re thinking, “Why are you talking about it then?”
Six Flags is one of the largest theme park chains in the country, and is considered the budget chain by some due to their inexpensive “membership” prices and their willingness to clone rides. Six Flags parks often look identical, with a good number of the same rides being found at all their parks; from Batman…
Six Flags America sits just outside of Washington, D.C. by about 9 miles in Maryland. It is a small Six Flags park with a semi-decent, if slightly dated, ride collection.

Lagoon Amusement Park is a smaller attraction in Farmington, Utah, a small town about 30 minutes north of Salt Lake City (and an hour south of the S&S factory, which I visited to ride the AXIS prototype roller coaster).
