Pennsylvania: A Thrill-Seeker's Paradise (or Graveyard, Depending on How You Look At It)

Pennsylvania's Amusement Park Tally: Counting Coasters and Cotton Candy
Now, the question on everyone's mind (well, maybe not everyone, but everyone who's as pumped about amusement parks as we are) is just how many parks does Pennsylvania have? Here's the lowdown:
QuickTip: Keep going — the next point may connect.
There's no official amusement park police handing out badges (although that would be a pretty cool job, wouldn't it?), so the exact number can vary depending on who you ask and how they define an "amusement park." But we're talking somewhere in the ballpark of 16 parks scattered across the state, all ready to satisfy your inner child (or adult who secretly loves cotton candy). That's a whole lotta coasters, haunted houses (because Pennsylvania loves a good scare too), and funnel cake to conquer!
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.
Think of it this way: You could practically spend a summer hitting a different park every weekend. Road trip, anyone?
Tip: Keep the flow, don’t jump randomly.
