Hi Robb,
First off, thank you for such a wonderful site! I have been a lurker for years but finally decided to start posting not too long ago.
I am in the process of planning a sizable road trip for early next season (early June 2017) and have the preliminary itinerary as follows:
Day 0: Fly from west coast to Nashville (red eye)
Day 1: Holiday World
Day 2: Kentucky Kingdom
Day 3: Kings Island
Day 4: Kings Island
Day 5: Cedar Point
Day 6: Cedar Point
Day 7: Kennywood
Day 8: Dorney park
Day 9: Hershey Park
Day 10: Hershey Park
Day 11: Kings Dominion
Day 12: Kings Dominion
Day 13: Carowinds
Day 14: Carowinds
Day 15: Dollywood
Day 16: Dollywood
With the exception of Cedar Point, all of these will be new parks with new credits for me. My first question is, does the distribution of days relative to the associated park look reasonable? I know it is impossible to predict crowds, and there will always be the option to get a fast lane pass, however if this spread works, I would rather save the money. My next question is, is this plan doable? I am confident that I will not get burned out however, although my girlfriend loves theme parks, I would not say she is at the same level as most of us on this site. Finally, is there anything in close proximity to these parks that would be considered a must visit should we want a break from the parks?
Thank you again, and I hope the rest of your European trip goes smoothly.
