I gotta go with Holiday World because it's such a great park. Wonderful staff, free drinks, two of the best woodies around, and an awesome water park...plus it's not too far away.

Ive never been to any of them, but I'd say KBF looks the best.

KBF all the way! Well, that's the only one I've been to...one of my first amusement parks I've gone to...I think I was about 2 years old when I first visited there and went again in the 8th grade.

KBF is owned by CF, how is it a small park? I don't think it should be in this poll. Also, its not a traditional park like the others listed.

ANyways, Knoebels is differently my favorite, best atmosphere, some of the best food, 2 of the best coasters in the world, and they dont have ridiculous prices like basicly every big park. Also, if KBF had flyers, i bet you wouldnt be allowed to snap them [;)]

Ok...the best small park not posted I've gone to is the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk. If you're after a wide variety of flats, they've got 'em.

If you think thats anywhere near all of the worlds small parks then you are very much mistaken. There are other countries too you know [lol] and thats not even all the small parks in America, and some of them aren't even small parks [confused]

Mt. Olympus=go-cart and woody heaven = best park!!!!
and like IF said, KBF is not a small park, and before it was sold, it was a crappy park that had the non-small park attitude.

The best small park is either Morey's Piers in Wildwood, NJ or Keansburg Amusement Park in Keansburg, NJ.

Yeah, the poll is so unnecessary...especially in these situations when there are so many small parks...

But anyway, to answer your question, it's a really hard decision for me....I mean, Holiday World is a great park, with two of the best coasters anywhere, but it just doesn't have enough to do other than Raven and Legend, so I'd have to say Indiana Beach beats that, with some great coasters, and a lot of rides crammed into a very small space. It has a very neat atmosphere, and my fav coaster, Cornball Express. Plus, Hurricane and LoCoSuMo both hold up there end of the deal. But Knoebel's seems like a really nice park, also, and when Mt. Olympus gets Hades next year, I'll be there...because they have a nice assortment of woodies and karts.
