Planning 2018 road trip....HELP!
sfriday1998 replied to sfriday1998's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Thanks a lot for the help, everyone. I'm feeling a lot better about this now, and MUCH less stressed out! -
Hey all, I'm coasting (pun intended) around the eastern US for about 9 days in 2018. I'm planning on hitting four parks, three of which are new to me. I will be riding my 100th coaster on this trip, and if I time it right, it will be Fury 325 IF I get all the credits I need beforehand. Planned schedule: May 29 - drive to Sandusky May 30 - day at Cedar Point (for SV credit and some repeats) May 31 - drive to KI, half day June 1 - full day @ KI June 2 - drive to Carowinds June 3 - full day @ Carowinds June 4 - half day Carowinds, drive north to KD June 5 - full day @ KD June 6 - catch some quick rides @ KD (I305, Twisted Timbers, any credits I missed), then home My questions are... - Do I have enough time budgeted out for each park? - Any good inexpensive hotel recommendations? - What should I expect for gas costs? (I live in MA) - Fast Lane? - What dining plan should I get? - Are the water parks worth it? (Haven't budgeted in water parks as of now) Note that I did two days @ CP in 2016, and while I got all the coaster credits, the big rides I missed were... Iron Dragon VR (I went before they installed it, but I have the coaster credit) Witch's Wheel maXair Skyhawk Power Tower Right side of Gatekeeper Definitely going to try for multiple SV rides! Help pls

Hoping to do a day at CP for a big road trip I'm planning. I went a couple years back and got all the coaster credits (including old Mean Streak), so I'd go for the big ones like Maverick, MF, TTD, and the other side of Gatekeeper, as well as some flats I missed like MaxAir and Power Tower. And, of course, multiple rides on Steel Vengeance. Anybody know when that's supposed to open, again? -
Final list of the year for me: SFNE Bonzai Pipelines (2013) New England Sky Screamer (2014) Wicked Cyclone (2015) Fireball (2016) Joker (2017) SFGrAdv Justice League: BFM (2017) Disneyland Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission BREAKOUT (2017) Lake Compounce Phobia Phear (2016) Canobie Lake Park Untamed (?) Equinox (year after Untamed) Cedar Point Valravn (2016)

Robb & Elissa in the USA - 2017!
sfriday1998 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I actually really enjoyed Thunderbird quite a lot. The launch is great and I like some of the elements on the ride. I would actually put it above most (if not maybe all) of the other B&M wing coasters. Sweet! -

I can't wait to see the first reviews on this board. This will probably beat out WC as my #1 (Still have to change my signature) -

I'll keep my eyes and ears open, Robb. Looking forward to the announcement! Personal predictions: height: 200' flat drop: 90 degrees speed: 70mph, not faster than LR Airtime moments: somewhere in the 15-20 range Inversions: 4 Hoping to hit up CP next year in a road trip currently in the planning stages. -
YAHOO! I just rode Tomahawk for the first time yesterday, and that was fun. Looking forward to a Zamperla Giant Discovery as a great improvement. Also, quick ride count from yesterday: Superman GCG:EFAA Batman: TDK Joker *On my Joker ride (purple side), I actually stalled upside down at least twice, which made me gray out a little bit. Got my ass kicked.* Pandemonium x2 (There's actually a single rider line there I didn't know about: it's the same as the FP queue) Wicked Cyclone Sky Screamer Blizzard River Houdini Tomahawk Scream (They weren't running the shot sequence: just the drop. That sucked ) Mind Eraser

If it consistently dueled, it would have earned every bit of that hype and blown past I305 and El Toro to be my number 1. Without dueling, it's slightly behind Tatsu. I did get one duel and three chases, so I've ranked it accordingly on my list. On my one ride, first I dueled, then I went solo, since the second train was so late in getting dispatched. It wasn't even really a chase.
