Looking at my route again I think I'll go to Kennywood (only about 30 miles extra going a different route) on Saturday and skip Kentucky Kingdom for now. I'll have a long drive to get to Holiday World on Sunday but I think it is doable. This will put me going right past Kings Island but I was there last year also so no reason to return right now. I am busy out near Des Moines until Sunday afternoon and need to be back at work on Tuesday so not a whole lot of extra time on the way back.

My wife and I are planning a trip to holiday world and whatever else we can fit around our other plans and need some help narrowing things down and advice. Leaving the D.C. area Friday(July 31st) evening/Saturday(Aug 1st) morning depending on stops/route. We need to be in Des Moines, IA by mid afternoon on Friday Aug 7th We would really like to hit. Holiday World St. Louis City Museum One day hiking/biking or something active non amusement park likely on the Katy Trail near St. Louis. Assuming a full day for each of those that leaves us with 2 fully open days. Places we talked about but not real sure about. Kentucky Kingdom - If this could be hit on a Sat (Aug 1st) and still get things done we could leave late Friday and get there on Sat at opening) Worlds Of Fun - Not far out of the way Schlitterbahn Kansas City - Verruckt (how does this work with 2 people that are not hitting the 400 pound minimum?) Silver Dollar City - It is a little ways out of the way would it be worth it to go or just hit it some other time? Adventureland ? Places I don't need to go to. Six Flags St. Louis - Went last year and only missed the boomerang coaster and don't feel the need to go back just for that. Anything I missed that we really should be going to? How bad would Kentucky Kingdom be on a Saturday in Aug? Best deals for tickets?

Headed to Carowinds this Saturday (Oct 4th) what is the best plan to hit all the coasters? I'll hit the flat rides if I have enough time but the coasters are the priority.
