The #1 slot went to Fright Fest Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California.

I had no choice but to make the Haunted Graveyard in Bristol at Lake Compounce the #1 theme park because it was named the seventh best scariest theme park in the entire country by readers of USA Today. Check this out from their website:
At dusk, we will take you on a 1 mile terrifying journey through darkly glittering catacombs to an eerie graveyard, to a vampire's haunt, to a witch's lair, and then onto a misty lake and an ancient temple.
You can purchase your tickets on their website at hauntedgraveyard.com. My advice, take an extra pair of underwear along just in case.
