hmmm. . . if we're in DC anyways. . . . (tho I think a 3rd park might be a "hard sell". .in particular a Six Flags). but then again, I mentioned in passing that I thought we might buy Season Passes this year, since Fiesta is only an hour or so drive from us. . and he didn't shut me down. So if we HAVE a pass at that point, and we're right there. . . . hmmmmmm I wouldn't even bother with SFA unless you both had season passes and were going to be in DC anyway, and even then I'm not sure I would recommend going there. It's simply not a quality park, unlike many of the parks in the region.

As said, the admission isn't free, but you do get a discount on the tickets. You can purchase them at the desk or you can "package" them into your hotel room. They do have a current promotion: If you stay multiple nights between 5/9 and 6/18, you get free Starlight (after 4 PM) tickets for each person in the room. Of course, you also get into the park an hour early to ride select rides (Millennium Force, Maverick, GateKeeper, Raptor, Iron Dragon, and a few flats, I believe).

Yes, two days would be enough for Cedar Point, but if you did another evening there (maybe on the day you arrive or potentially even after the Hall of Fame), you could really take your time. You may even have enough time to relax in the water park or on the beach, if you'd like.

This trip may be your best option. BGW is simply brilliant, and two days is a perfect amount of time to truly enjoy it. KD is also an easy drive from Williamsburg, so there's no trouble adding it on. As for the museums/historical stuff, there's TONS of stuff in that area. Colonial Williamsburg is really nice, and I highly recommend you spend at least one day seeing the place. Plus, there's Historic Jamestowne (the actual settlement), Jamestown Settlement (the recreation of said settlement), and Yorktown. Then, of course, you can venture farther north to DC for the usual tourist stuff. Honestly, if your partner isn't big on parks and loves history, this would be an amazing trip for the two of you. There's not a whole lot to do in the immediate area. There's some historical sites related to Thomas Edison south of Sandusky, but that's about it. If you want museums, you could go to Cleveland. There's the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, their art museum (which I understand is quite nice), the natural history museum, etc. The closest parks would be Michigan's Adventure (4.5 hrs), Kings Island (3.5 hrs), and Waldameer (2.5 hrs). Hope this helps!

Why? It doesn't need it; Thunderbolt is a fun, little ride that runs just fine.

My lawyer has advised me not to answer this question. Did you watch the Grammy Awards on TV?

Aww...but I like Fear Factor Live! Where else can you watch a bunch of weirdos eat bugs and whatnot and then get a stupid little plastic cup that says "I ate a bug." for doing so?

^ B&M does a LOT of R&D before they release a new product. They don't just throw things together and say "here's a prototype."

^ Also an accurate description of their quest for funding!

Millennium Force - Cedar Point

^ I haven't seen the second one in a VERY long time. The only two things I remember about it were the opening scenes and that I liked it. Maybe I'll rewatch all three of them before I see World.

A New York Stock Exchange themed coaster? Well, that's certainly different.

Yeah, the park's layout is pretty awful. When it comes to HP's food...I'm a sucker for their freshly made chips.

I wouldn't think the lines would be that terrible. Even if the attendance is really high, there's still plenty of ERT and time in the park to get lots of rides in on everything. I'm really excited to finally be able to go to this event!

I definitely don't see a Giga coming to KI. A floorless would be a nice addition, though.

This park is turning out great. It's a shame that Miler contract didn't go through because a kiddie coaster would be a nice addition. I'm betting that the Theater won't be around too much longer, since their popularity dwindled quickly in most parks.

I really like this park! Kaiju looks like it would be an incredible coaster (as do the rest of them!). Can't wait to see the rest!

RCTW still has potential. The Architect mode is something I've been wanting for years, but the "raw track" idea needs some work. I hope they push this game back to give it more work, but I guess they're too afraid of the fans getting pissed about a delay to do it.

Hands down, it's The Beatles. Their catalog is simply incredible. Even after they split, their solo careers and next bands (Wings, The Plastic Ono Band) were fantastic as well.

^ Those are a really nice decorative touch! Sometimes, it's just the little things that make nice things even nicer!
