Hi. I'm 40 and have not been to a major theme park since I was a child and plan to go next week with my wife. So, I'm totally clueless about planning this. We live in Memphis, TN. Six Flags St. Louis and Kentucky are fairly close. Any other suggestions not too far away? I'm not into water parks, but do like coaster and other thrill rides. We also like aquariums. We plan to drive and bring our Jack Russell Terrier and do a pet friendly hotel. He'll be kept in a day kennel during while we're away and then pick him up on our way back tot the hotel.
Any suggestions and insight to planning this such as places, hotels, (even kennels), deals and such?
Thanks,
Dick
