Need opinions on these theme and amusement parks!

I was planning a trip next summer for another coaster invasion, if only to write more TRs ). I was thinking of July and doing my 100th coaster, the Beast, at Paramount's Kings Island and then moving on. I may go to Cedar Point, depending on what they're building there. Otherwise, on the list for next summer is:

Paramount's Kings Island
Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom
Holiday World
Indiana Beach
Six Flags Great America
Big Chief Karts and Coasters
Michigan's Adventure

September may bring a trip to Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Paramount's Kings Dominion.

So who has been to these places? What are they like?

Thanks!

Paramount's KD has some great coasters, including some old wooden ones, The Rebel Yell and The Grizzly. The Hurler is wooden, but fairly new. There are lots of good coasters in this park.

BG-Williamsburg is our second favorite theme park, (WDW being number one) and also has some great rides, Apollo's Chariot, The Loch Ness Monster, Alpengeist, etc.

We were just at 6 flags last Sunday. It was packed. I didn't ride any big coasters, but my DSs(11&12) did. They especially like Vertical Velocity, Raging Bull, Batman, Iron Wolf & American Eagle. We bought them the Fast Lane passes($10 for 4 rides)-they sell out fast. They were unable to do the new Deja Vu-it wasn't open when the park opened(and they couldn't say when/if it would open), and it wasn't a fast lane ride. When they checked in the afternoon, the wait was over 2 hours. American Eagle had 1 set of cars running backward this year.
The park was very dirty, especially the bathrooms(even half hour after the park opened). They have put too many rides in such a small place-leading to ques stretching out into the walkways.

We had free tickets, but DH said he wouldn't go again even with the free passes.
