I've put together a list of the best parks to visit with the official park links and what new rides they're getting this year.
This is not a definitive list of all amusement parks - just the bigger ones or the ones I feel are worth visiting. If you think I missed something or you find a broken link, please e-mail me.
In the upcoming days I'll post the Pennsylvania parks, the eastern New York ones, and some others further off.
Always check the park’s calendar before visiting, as each one starts and ends their daily schedules in a different way. All distances listed are from Buffalo...
