What amusement park do ya'll think has the best skyline? Based on the ones that I've been too, I think that BGT has a great skyline b/c there are rides towering the park like Montu, Kumba, & SheiKra that dominates BGT's skyline & the fact that the whole African theming & the animals there are also a wonder to watch too.

Hmmm...have to think about that one. But BGT is a good choice. Do they still have the skyride over the animal park? That was always a nice way to see it all.

I like standing in the middle of Epcot and looking at both sides. Although not a lot to do I believe World Showcase is absolutely awe inspiring.

I have never been there, but i'd think that Cedar Point's is amazing with all of those huge coasters and rides out on the peninsula.

Yeah I have to give my vote to Cedar Point too. By far the best skyline I have seen.

Cedar point's is just amazing with the peninsula across from the "mainland", and all the coasters visible from the shores in Sandusky.

Definitely, Cedar Point! Some others that I also like: Kings Island, with its Eiffel Tower and other tall attractions; and Kennywood, since the park is located right on top of a cliff/hill, everything is visible.

EDIT - To make things as perfect as possible in an imperfect world, I have revised my post from a list to only one answer, in order to set an example for coasterwom since Herc called him out for his post in this thread.

My answer actually goes to SFGAm. While CP is certainly superb, looking across the water at all of the huge coasters, SFGam is amazing. Coming up I-294 from the south, you first get a glimpse of American Eagle from a distance. Then, as you draw closer, more and more rides become visible. Eventually, you get a great view of American Eagle's helix, Raging Bull, Giant Drop, and Superman: Ultimate Flight. However, you pass all these by in order to get into the park, because you have to go past the park and then double back to get to the actual entrance. Once you actually turn up the drive to get to the parking and entrance...oh, what a view of the front of the park you have. The views in the park and from the rides are also amazing throughout, making this park my winner on this question.

Why is it always a list? One park... that is the topic.

Knoebels. Its a treeline, impressive because you have to think "wow, they hide a park back there?" (maybe a couple rides peak out here and there and Ive always wanted an S&S tower complex sticking up as well lol)
