I was just wondering if any real life parks cross a road? Meaning the park is build on two sides of a road and you have to cross it or go under it to get to the rest of the park?

I know of a park where the coaster crosses over the main access road to the park's entrance, but there aren't any other attractions on the other side.

I guess Knoebels kinda has a road that runs through a portion of the park, though I know they have it blocked off near Flying Turns. Other parks have parking on the other side of the road and you walk under the road to get to the entrance, but I'm not sure if that counts though.
...Oh and BGT has an employee road you have to walk over on your way to SheiKra.

Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom has a road running through the park. I don't think there are any rides that go over it though. I think you just cross over a bridge to get to the other section.

Kennywood is. The parking lot and entrance gate are on one side and guests have to walk through a tunnel under the road to get to the park on the other side.

Hmmm, could lead to a new answer for this question:
Q. Why did the chicken cross the road?
A. To get to the kiddy rides.
(Sorry about that.)

Blackpool Pleasurebeach in England has a road running through the middle of the park (Watson Road I think). There are definitely one or two coasters that go over that road, the Pepsi Max Big One being one of them.

Isn't the other 'Steeplechase', the one were you ride the horses?

If only it was a GOOD park.

I am not sure from memory that the Steeplechase crosses the road, I think it stays within the south end of the park.
I think on reflection that the Pepsi Max is possibly the only one that crosses the road - both Grand National and Roller Coaster are close to the road but both head away from the road and return.

I don't think it does. It is not really high enough. Then again, it was ages sinse I last went. Although it is still a great ride!

I think Hershey does.
Edit: I know you need to follow a long road before you get to the parking lot.

Darnit! You got to it before I could. Thats my home park and I love how you drive under Goliath to get to the main parking lot. If you time it right you can catch it as a train is going over you. Its sooooo cool! :D
