SFMM will be lucky if theirs opens by July 4th. Maybe this will be SF's lesson to start construction earlier for new rides!

Dorney, Hershey, and Knoebels can easily be done in a long weekend since they're all within about an hour of each other

They both have Arrow mine train coasters. Dollywood and Islands of Adventure

Same here! With me being four hours closer to theme parks come next week, I'll probably do some small weekend trips to one or two parks

Millennium Force last year. When was the last time you ate pizza?

Yes! At my last job I'd pass the time by listening (with headphones of course) to recordings of comedians such as John Pinette, Andrew Dice Clay (IMHO, The Diceman Cometh is probably a top all-time comedy special), Ralphie May, and Bill Hicks. Have you ever traveled more than five hours just for a concert?

They're both on boardwalks over the ocean. Six Flags Great Adventure and Six Flags Over Texas

I find it kind of odd that SFMM's water park season starts on the exact same day as Cedar Point's water park season, despite SFMM being in a MUCH warmer climate

Here are some ultimate three day trips I can think of (not counting a three-day tour of the Florida and SoCal parks). Trip 1: Cedar Point, Kings Island, Kentucky Kingdom/Holiday World (the last two on the same day) Trip 2: Dollywood, Kings Island, Cedar Point Trip 3: Dollywood, Six Flags over Georgia, Carowinds Trip 4: Carowinds, Kings Dominion, Busch Gardens Williamsburg Trip 5: Hershey, Knoebels/Dorney (same day), Six Flags Great Adventure Trip 6: Six Flags New England, Lake Compounce/Quassy (same day), Six Flags Great Adventure Trip 7: Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, California's Great America, Six Flags Magic Mountain

I already had plans to visit CP at least once this year, and with me being closer, I wouldn't be surprised if I went another time (or to Kings Island or another park)

No, I don't. Do you live within an hour of a coaster?

When it comes to coasters, here is my projected major coaster rotation for the next few years. 2018: Canada's Wonderland, Cedar Point (RMC Mean Streak), Kings Dominion (RMC Hurler), Knott's Berry Farm 2019: California's Great America, Carowinds, Worlds of Fun 2020: Cedar Point 2021: Canada's Wonderland, Kings Dominion 2022: California's Great America, Kings Island 2023: Carowinds, Worlds of Fun (both parks turn 50 in 2023) I could see Dorney, Michigan's Adventure, and Valleyfair get smaller coasters (maybe a smaller RMC) in the 2020-2021 timeframe

I got a job that I really wanted! The only downside is that I'll be moving four hours, but on the plus side, that will put me four hours closer to Cedar Point and within driving distance of several more theme parks!

Cannibal is actually out in the middle of nowhere, and not easy to include in a theme park trip

Millie remains open in rain. Last year my sister and I rode Millennium Force (after a long wait) and it was raining hard during the ride

Thank you for sharing this! I don't remember seeing this one before. I lost track on the number of bleeps in the video, and I think a couple of F-bombs did sneak past the censors.

I love your avi!

Good for you!

Apple???

I LOVE Reese's Blizzards! Is the GotG Blizzard similar to it?

It's been a while for me, and the last time wasn't even my own lawn! (It was my grandma's lawn) When was the last time you moved?

OOPS! Thank you for pointing it out! I don't write much, but most of the time I use pen. Have you ridden a wooden coaster this season (year for year-round parks)?

CP seems to like to get most vertical construction done before winter hits. I also wonder if the current pace of construction is to clear room at the RMC facility for projects going to other parks

Kind of. I occasionally play RCT2 but my computer is old and slow and can't really handle much in the way of games.
