133 miles is a very narrow window of travel. Like Eric said, Philly is a choice and California, and WDW area. But with California, yes some of the parks are relatively close, but are you willing to possibly sit in a few hours traffic, just because it's closer together? I'd consider opening your radius to about 200 miles, and think about NYC. Yes traffic in NYC can be nasty but once you'd be headed towards the parks, a lot less traffic, and a lot more highly rated coasters. Don't forget to search out information on the parks around, NYC (lake compounce, sfne, sfgradv, Dorney, hershey, knoebels, jersey shore, coney island) Philadelphia (Dorney, sfgradv, Hershey, knoebels, jersey shore) Califnornia (knots, sfmm, dl, dca, ush) Florida (WDW, USO, sea world, legoland, possibly Busch gardens Tampa) Once you sit down and figure out what you want out of this trip, you can narrow it down by region, highly rated coasters, and some classic parks then NYC and Philly, but if you just want to go to some parks because they are close together, then Cali or Florida. Also if you are just wanting a whole theme park experience then Florida is something to consider. Think about what you want out of the trip, and the rest will fall into place. Eta: also an hour and a half driving (1 mile a minute) is nothing in the US. People seem to assume that the US is really close together and that it doesn't take much to get from A to B. an extra half hour in the car if going to NYC and heading to Knoebels is really nothing in the grand scheme of traveling around the US.

I was just going to say the same thing as Eric. But once you decide more of where to go it can help get you responses as well. Check out TPR's park index http://www.themeparkreview.com/parks/ and also check out RCDB as well, that can give you ideas about parks and coasters and will help you narrow down a region of the US you want to visit.

^You've been pretty productive RD! Haven't done too much this off season. counting down until April 7th -
Definitely for sure: In April: Great Adventure Knoebels In May: Hopefully Canada's Wonderland In June: Possibly Six Flags America Dorney In July: LeviaTHON: (Darien Lake, Martin's Fantasy Island, Marineland, Wonderland, Waldameer, and Conneaut Lake, and possibly Coney Island) In August: Open so far, but would consider BGW, and KD though I'd really like to do those before LeviaTHON. Hersheypark October will be the PPP at Knoebels for sure. All I know for sure is April right now and of course LeviaTHON.

I think you are back in Japan. So you can easily get to Narita airport for the trip home. Reasoning: the time it takes to get from either Malaysia or Thailand to Japan matches with the hours Robb said he couldn't post clues. (yes I think a Malaysia, layover in Thailand, then to Tokyo). To me that park they are at kind of looks abandoned like a SBNO park. That's all I have for now. Need to do some more research.

OK, I'm going with Thailand as well, because why would they go to Hong Kong when they are doing the TPR trip add on to there later this year? So the China region is out. Taiwan- Yes, there are a few clues for Taiwan, but I think they are red herring clues. Thailand: Happy Smiley faces- Thailand = Land of Smiles Phucket is in Thailand, (he'll I'd just want a layover there just to check in on Facebook) Gold City is the name of a Hotel in Thailand Steve Jobs- Apple had issues after the big floods in Thailand with supplies of their products. It was a relatively short flight. I would assume it would have been longer if they were going to Taiwan.
