I've been thinking about this for a few days, and I decided that this summer, as a graduation present to myself, I'm going to organize a trip for me and probably a friend or two. I haven't been to a park since IoA in 2006, so I figured it'd be a nice way to A: enjoy my last summer before college and B: get back into the whole roller coaster scene.
While all of that sounds all great, there's a problem. I currently have saved $0. Also, I have no job (trying to fix that as I type this). That limits the distance I can travel and the amount of parks I can go to. I'm trying to limit it to places that I have never been to before, or parks that have added rides that I'd like to ride for the first time. I've narrowed it down to two options, and need some help on which one I should choose. I'm looking for the more financially feasible option, but if I'm convinced that the more expensive is a much better option, I'll go with that one.
Here are the options:
Choice A - Midwest
Day 1: Cedar Point
Day 2: OFF
Day 3: Indiana Beach
Day 4: Holiday World
Day 5: Kings' Island
Day 6: Kennywood
Day 7: Hersheypark
Choice B - New England/Mid-Atlantic
Day 1: Knoebel's (of course)/Clementon
Day 2: Six Flags Great Adventure
Day 3: Lake Compounce
Day 4: Six Flags New England
Day 5: OFF
Day 6: Dorney Park
I figure both SHOULD be around the same price when you look at hotel/admission, but I think Choice A might be a little more pricier considering the miles logged. I think if I do get a job for 15-20 hours a week, plus the money I'll get for Christmas and my birthday (which is conveniently in April), I should be fine as far as money is concerned, but I'm not sure yet.
So...which should I look into?
