My vote would be for Palisades Park, but my wife fondly remembers Olympic Park in Irvington N.J. which was bigger then Palisades Park. She lived a couple blocks from Olympic Park and remembers 10 cent day.

I remember Olympic Park, our 4th grade school, Raritan Intermediate School, Raritan, NJ, went there. It was huge and I remember the spinning wheel ride as being pretty scary. Also the pier at Seaside Heights when the rides seemed like you were over the ocean.

Palisades Park, without a doubt. I was there many times. An annual event was to be there on opening night. That park was fun!

Asbury Park, NJ. Not the best amusement park, but the best memories. "Tillie" was a mural of a grinning face of Palace Amusements, and Tillie was the backdrop for a photo of Bruce Springstein and the EStreet Band in 1972. Then, or course there is the album "Greetings From Asbury Park".....

Kennywood in Pittsburgh PA and Cedar Point in Sandusky Ohio are our favorites!

Growing up in central Ohio, we were right between Kings Island and Cedar Point. In my younger days, I was a big fan of roller coasters. I'd have to give the edge to Cedar Point. I've been to several Six Flags parks over the years, I still rate Cedar Point and Kings Island one and two.
