If you have little kids, then it's Legoland. My 5 and 3 year-old love both DL and LL equally.

Re: Fav non-disney park

Mine would be Knotts... its the perfect mix of thrilling rides with the old west ghost town and stuff for about everyone and a good even mix for the everyone in the family with enough white knuckle thrills and enough tamer rides that could appeal to everyone in your group

For non Disney theme park: Lotte World and Everland in South Korea.

For amusement parks, Six Flags Great America near Chicago.

Re: Fav non-disney park

Unfortunately, my non Disney theme park experiences have been restricted to only Southern California parks.

I think I would go with Six Flags Magic Mountain but that's a very, very, very distant second.

Re: Fav non-disney park

Islands of Adventure for me, i absolutely loved the beauty of that park and can't wait to go there again once the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is open
