Hi guys! I, along with three other family members (2 non-enthusiast) are considering a trip to the Northeast US and possibly even a tad bit of Canada (because Leviathan ), and I wanted some help to (a) Recommend good parks, alert of waste-of-times, (b) Keep the family members sane (I'm sure many of you have gone through this) and © Tell me some good places to eat, stay, and just have fun at near theme parks or in neighboring cities.

That's great! Do you know what rides tend to build up the longer lines so we can do them in the morning?

Darn! We're staying the night after, so no early entry for us . Maybe it counts on that day?

Hi! Before I start, this goes out to everyone, not just Robb, so feel free to respond. Me and my family are going to Europa Park during our Germany vacation, so I wanted to ask you guys for any tips to get the most coasters in (really want Blue Fire credit) and to have the all-around best experience at the park. Also, we are staying for one night at the Hotel Bell Rock on site, so if you guys have anything of note you want to tell me feel free to comment below!
