Breathtaking. But i love Kings Islands's diamondback view!

Ok, first of all, i would like to say thx for those who helped me planning prolly the most fun days of my life with my wife. Everything ran smooth, planned and 100% as planned! We drove out there a amazing car! Avis gave us a Dodge Durango! Fisrt park was 2 days @ Six Flags Great Adv, we arrived there around 9AM, after proceed with our trill season pass, when went to the coasters, man, awesome coasters! Nitro prolly my fav coaster of this entire trip! around 2PM of the first day, for some reason the line in nitro kust desapeeard, so we rided it like 10 times! AWESOME! King Da Ka as well, awesome my with was freaking scary for the one, dua the long lines we rided it only 4 times 1 2 first day, and 3 @ second day. all amazing coaster, green lantern...bizarro so good and el toro freaking impressive! but for SixflagsADV my fave coaster was NITRO! and Houdini’s Great Escape WAS FRAAKING SICK! Then headed to Dorney Park, we left @ 6am for the one day park, when we was leavin days inn at jackson, for some reason the GPS of our car stop working, we went in a avis store, and waited till 9 it open, for a second for RAINNING DAY and for the problem with GPS, i was conformed that we was goin to dorney just to make our platinium pass. after a new GPS, i drove kinda fast for Dorney Park, with a heavy rain! when we arrived for our surprise! all! i said all rides was working! all rides even with the heavy rain, idk why. maybe couse it was not a stormy rain. Ok Talon AWESOME no LINES, we rode like 5 times only with me and her on the train! awesome!, After Talon, Hydra, to be honest i didnt liked Hydra at all, but the first inversion is awesome. kinda crazy. possesed very fun and scary! sting! fun day even with the rain, park closed at 7 PM due the bas weather. REST DAY Hershey Park! Crazy park, crowded, but fun, we rode skyrush 10 in in a single day! couse lines even if they are big, the line move fast! in final of day it was killing my legs, 2 days at hershey park, sunny day awesome, stormrunner prolly one of my fav coaster of the trip. REST DAY Cedar Point, awesome, we got stuck for like 15 minutes on a heavy rain @ MAVERICK way fun! weeeeeeeeee. was crazy, the rain was coming... with a high wind but no rain, they dispach our last train, the wind was so heavy that the train was goin freaking slowly along the track, the last inversion, OMG THE TRAIN WAS SO SLOW! after the ride we got stuck for more then 15 minutes. crazy. M. force and all the other tracks awe impressive, LUMINOSITY by PEPSI was really cool! and im opnion top trill dragster>King da Ka in every single point. I liked cedar point, couse the interaction with the rides with the park is awesome! what i mean is: its awesome eat some fries at 5 meters of mantis main loopy, get closer to the tracks a thing u cant really do at six flags ( most nitro and king da ka). REST DAY Kings Island, we was planning stay 3 days, but as some ppl said 2 days was enouf! in kings island i had one of the most sick experience of my life! ride THE BEAST, about midnight! WAS AWESOME! The forest in night the tunnels man this ride is sick. diamondback sick and all other rides, firehawk..flight of fear...and more WINDSEEKER weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..... after this i drove 10 hours back to NY and have some free days out there. Thx again for all who helped me, prolly ima planning something again in 2014, starting in florida and goin up till canada wonderlands. You guys are lucky, have amazing places, with a amazing ppl.

WOW, thank you guys for tips. I was not expecting answers like these ... COUSE INTERNET IS MAIN TROLL hehe thank you ... more tips are welcome ... I will update this topic along this journey till i Arrive in USA. about the driving, the thing that more scare me is the automatic transmission, never experience this before, it feel like unsafe for me. but whatever, here we go. in planning i added a half day visit @ dorney park. btw, what is the best month for this trip in the summer? which the month I can avoid a lot of crowd? thank u tk care.

all rite, thank u man, btw, if i leave by the sunrise SIXFLAGS park i can go for a half day at Dorney and road again for Hurshey's before the sunset? and can u suggest the best month for this trip? (less crowds)

You think 2 days in great adventure is enouf? and i goin to stay 2 days @ hershey park couse of SKYRUSH coming soon. about GPS, gps guide me only at city or even in highways? (i never used a gps before, fucking expensive in brazil lol) dorney park worth it? they have some cool coaster. and u can suggest me low rate hotels at SFGA and Hursheys. thank u man.

Hi guys, My name is Henriques im from Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, im a entusiast roller coaster and my english is very crappy hehe btw, you guys must know... brazil sucks when we talking about parks, RC, and all this stuff... the best RC we have is Monte Makaya(intamin), it was a record holder for a long period...btw the park is now closed =/ and when the park open thing like that happen all the time -.- So i goin to leave Brazil for the first time of my life, with wife and kids.. for a small road trip passing by 3 parks, the basic plann is, Rio de Janeiro ==> JFK, New York, rent a car and and get directions to SIX FLAGS GREAT ADVENTURE, stay there for 2 days...and road again moving to HURSHEYS PARK, stay there for 2 days...AND AGAIN road to CEDAR POINT, OH stayin there for 4 days, and then come back to brazil. You guys think this is a good "enouf" route, or its crappy? I missing something good near this region? its a dumb route? its hard to drive in american highways? its easy rent a car with Manual Transmission? and if google maps is safer. thank you guys for the help i goin in summer of 2012 and i starting with the booking really soon and i lost =/ really lost. Sorry my bad english, T.K care.
