I’d like to add that the majority of posts reflect a failure to know (or pay attention to) the difference between a theme park and an amusement park.

for many people, the terms are interchangeable

Now I can’t decide between stomping off to Pit people who don’t know the difference, or starting a GD thread on the topic…

Six Flags Great Adventure calls itself a Theme Park, and I like the Ferris Wheel that’s off to the right of the main entrance - stationary steel cages and a great view of the whole park

4: Word of mouth, mostly through here, other folks in the office, or American Physical Society e-mailings.
5: The Beast, at King’s Island (a huge wooden roller coaster). That failing, Gemini at Cedar Point (also a wood coaster).
