Coney Island is a New York neighborhood where the Coney Island amusement park is located. The New York Aquarium is adjacent to the amusement park. There is a beach and boardwalk that connects Coney Island to the neighborhood known as Brighton Beach. that doesnt look hardcore enough - we want somwhere that has rides similar to Alton towers in the UK but bigger and scarier! Six Flags has one is Darien Lake, Buffalo - how far is that from the main area of NY? Far, maybe 4 hours. The Jersey Location is better. There is also one outside Washginton DC. Busch Gardens, Tampa Florida and Williamsburg, Virginia is a possiblity. They have "Hardcore" rides. Paramount Kings Dominion in Central Virginia (near Richmond) is good, but loses on your driving requirement. You would pretty much have to drive. I think that if you're looking for Scary Rides, I'd tend toward these rather than the Disney parks. Julie I mean that has ride like Superman which look awesome. what other large theme park companies are there in the USA? -- Julie ********** Check out my Travel Pages (non-commercial) at http://www.dragonsholm.org/travel.htm |

Six Flags Great Adventure is probably an hour from New York City. I am not
sure if it is reachable via public transport, though. Julie mo wrote: "Juliana L Holm" wrote in message ... Six Flags has one is Darien Lake, Buffalo - how far is that from the main area of NY?

Julie Wouls there be any others that are closer (maybe within 2 or 3 hours) that we could go to on a different day. No doubt if we end up going to NY over florida we will spend all the other days sightseeting anyway.. |

that doesnt look hardcore enough - we want
somwhere that has rides similar to Alton towers in the UK but bigger and scarier! If you're looking for hardcore, scary rides, there are several web sites that have detailed descriptions and comparisons of roller coasters at the various theme parks around the country, and you might find that useful. I don't know the URLs offhand, but shouldn't be too hard to find them with Google.

Indeed - just that the US is so massive and we dont really know anything about it - in the UK I could probably get anywhere using the Road and Train system prety easily! Most of the places will probably be way too far for us to get to from NY anyway. |
