Ok, let's finish Memorial day weekend, sorry for the delay, trying to get things in order and having multiple bids for refi-ing the house. The last day we hit Delgrosso's and Lakemont. It was just a quick credit stop for Klaire to get her credits and then off to the in-laws, yea!! Time for some DelGrosso's Klaire sure does love her carousels. Klaire is on the train, but she said the seat was hot so she is squatting. Miranda and I Nicole gets the mouse credit. Klaire sure is good at waiting. The it's time for Lakemont. I never fully understand how this place still makes it. It is always dead and cheap to get in, though I do hope it does, since it has quite a gem in Leap the Dips. Does it get packed when there is baseball game? Off to Lakemont! Quick ride on the cars. Klaire gets the oldest coaster credit.

^ I was going to go for them, it was a toss up, but I like Detriot better.

Ok. Tried to read the rules again while playing with the 2 kiddies. Do I just pick a sport or a team in that particular sport. If it's a team, I'll go with the Detroit Tigers, even though I'm a bigger Phillies phan. I did pick mine Mike...

Thanks for the good look at Blue Mountain, I was planning on hitting that before Leviathan Bash. Where's that burger place though? The only location I can find is downtown Toronto, is there any more?

My worst theme park day was actually a whole weekend. We had planned a quick weekend trip from PHL to DET for Michigan's adventure. We were to fly out of PHL around 6pm. Well after the plane came in, it needed maint so they got another plane in. The flight crew's time had expired so they had to get another flight crew. Finally made it off the ground around 1am. Landed in DET and drove straight to the hotel, got to the hotel around 4:30. After a quick catnap, hit the park at opening. I honestly can't remember the date when we went but OMG was it packed. 2hr for Shivering timbers, 1+ for all the other coasters, thunderhawk was still not there yet. The mouse was easily a 2 hr wait. We did one lap on all the coaster and left exhausted from the flight and the day. The next day was going to be a quick stop at fun spot IN before heading back to DET for the flight. It was supposed to storm that day, but was not yet raining. The park was closed and they were not going to open it b/c of the rain. Back to DET, no problems getting on the plane, but of course without fail gate delay in PHL. Very frustrating weekend to say the least. Thankfully haven't had one like it since.

I really didn't want to change my vote, but since it's open and I have now searched extensively through the pictures, I am going to change mine as well. I going with 9 ducks.

^good eyes, no I did not. Now I feel like an ass. Time for some editing.

Darn, not the first this week, but the first to go with 8 ducks.

We've been to Idlewild a few times, but always enjoy going back. I just love this park for some reason and it's especially great for Klaire. We also saw one of the most interesting/unique/genius things we have EVER seen at an amusement park, see the bottom of the post. Wild Mouse and Rollo coaster were both done, but that didn't stop us from having a good time. Looks like Rollo Coaster is starting to get retracked: Shiny new wood.... If you looking for a good kidde park, really look no further that Idlewild. Going through the cheese at storybook forest Klaire in the ball pit Klaire made a mess with the kiddie bumper cars, pretty funny to watch. We then seen one of the most interesting/unique (choose you option here) that we have EVER seen in a amusement park. What do you think about this: Yes, that is a Segway pulling a cart with a child in it.

Ok. Tried to read the rules again while playing with the 2 kiddies. Do I just pick a sport or a team in that particular sport. If it's a team, I'll go with the Detroit Tigers, even though I'm a bigger Phillies phantom.

Sweet. Its great having free time at work to look for ducks.

It wouldn't be a Memorial Day Weekend without hitting some parks. So the plan was to do a small loop and do Adventure Park USA, Wisp resort for the apline coaster, Idlewild, Lakemont and DelGrosso's. Adventure Park USA in New Market MD is a nice FEC with the Wildcat relocated multiple times, but the last one from William's Grove, PA. I rode it while at William's Grove and thought it was running much better here. Adventure Park USA Wildcat Some of the other rides are bumper boats Small Carousel Tilt A Whirl an Indoor Soft Play Area, which was pretty nice. They also had a small ropes course inside, rock climbing wall inside and a nice looking mini golf course and go cart track. All not pictured. Next we headed off to Wisp to ride our first Alpine Coaster. Wow these are a lot of fun until you get to the slow poke in front of you and have to brake. Am looking forward to getting some more of these this summer. Of course Klaire and Nicole got in on the action. Nicole and Klaire coming down Have to get a shot of Miranda Lifthill shot.

4 out of the 5 times, the que was filled and I waited 45-50 min.

Just got done riding it 6 times today. Tried many different seats. It's not as painful as everyone is making it out ot be. It's a great ride. My bigger complaint would be the load/unload situation. 2-5 minutes to dispatch a train is not really acceptable. The bins a re a good idea, but with the GP it becomes more of a hassle and adds to the dispatch time. One more observation. I have sensitive hearing, was it me or is that station EXTREMLY loud? It seems like all the noise in there is amplified.

Going to try and give it a better run this year. I'm saying 6 ducks.

Larry, just for my future reference, what day did you visit Schmidt's, Thurman's and jeni's? Just wondering if I am going to have these kinds of waits when I go on a Wednesday??

Adventure Park USA, in New Market MD, then to wisp resort, followed by Idlewild, Lakemont and Delgrosso's over Memorial Day Weekend.

^I knew they were big and all, but DAMN . Maybe the german village is the better option.

Was thinking of hitting Thurmans' Burgers while on our stop in Columbus, now I might change my mind and try Schmidts, or do both, they are very close to each other . Thanks for posting Larry.

Canada added.

Added, thanks for the update.
