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

Late to the party as well. Sorry....

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?

I'm curious as to how you liked Thunderbird in comparison to the other wing coasters.
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!

Mind Eraser, SFNE, Sunday
I do not have a good track record for this

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)

SO HYPED!!!!
Gonna try to go to CP summer 2018. WILL RIDE THIS 10000000%

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

I'm about to attract a lot of hate here.
I found Twisted Colossus overrated
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.

Thanks a lot for the help, everyone. I'm feeling a lot better about this now, and MUCH less stressed out!
