2008 Park Trip Plans


Recommended Posts

Well, as the 2007 season is done for me, I have been thinking about what I would like to do park wise next year, and I am curious to see what others are planning on. These are my plans for right now:

 

March: Possible Trip to Las Vegas with my Step-dad and step-brother, I would definatly go to Adventuredome, New York New, York and Nascar Cafe, and would like to try to get out to Buffalo Bill's.

 

April: Busch Gardens Euroburg

 

May: Quick stop at Camden Park in West Virginia on the way to Indiana

 

June: Hard Rock Park (may shoot for July if June is too busy)

 

July: Kings Dominion

 

August: Melissa are going to NYC for our 1 year aniversery, and she suggested we go to Coney Island for Astroland since it is the last season.

After dropping the cost of a used late model Honda on coaster trips this year, we're planning on toning down our traveling a bit next season. We hope to make the usual rounds of California, along with one out of state trip to Hershey/Kennywood/SFGadv for a super extended weekend.

 

Then it's back to the real world and finally trying to buy a house this year.

Whatever I can afford. I have 2 "big" trips planned (one being Texas + Cliffs and Frontier City, the other being some of the stuff I want most like Waldameer and Knoebels) but I don't know how feasible either one is...

 

I would like to hit all of my local parks as I didn't make it to any this year (the Midwest trip at all of my money) and maybe GADv to get some El Toro... But I don't know yet.

April - May: working on a trip Power Park, actually my closest park which is about a few hours drive due south.

May - June: I'm planning a crazy credit trip, which I won't give any details for at the moment.

June - July depending on the TPR Europe trip, going to meet the people at Heide Park (at least), and on the way to and from Heide Park stop by some parks in Denmark (Tivoli Friheden, Djurs Sommerland, etc.).

August there is the TPR East Coast Trip.

 

And in between these trips I will always visit Liseberg a couple of times and Tusenfryd depending of the retracking/change of trains of Thundercoaster.

^^

Loefet: Do you live somewhere around Haparanda or the border? Anyhow, I think PowerPark opens a few days before May. The 1st of May, is a holiday. Feel free to Pm me if you need help etc.

 

The only 'plan' I have for next year is to go on the Mini-Europe trip, as I've wanted to visit those parks for a long time, also I just couldn't manage to pay a whole trip this year, how much I wanted to , However if there's still room in May for Eastcoast or (Europe) then I might (try to) jump in. But that's just a wild theory atm.

 

Also I really should drag my a$$ to Gröna Lund since I've passed Stockholm over 20 times ( usually a few times a year), never had the time to get there.

 

Other than that I don't know yet. It also depends if I decide to go to the army or do a civil duty thing (it's mandatory in Finland) as the civil duty would start in August, army in January 09.

I don't think I'll do many parks next year, unfortunately.

^I thought you would have gotten the hint after I deleted your first post, but since you seem insistant on posting....

 

Take a few hundred off, but also take off staying at nice hotels, getting ERT, tons of food, awesome goodies, not having to drive or worry about a thing, and not to mention all the fun that everyone will have!,

Definites:

Dollywood

Ghost Town in the Sky

Beech Bend

 

As of now, the big plan is to drive across America to California on spring break and finally hit the SoCal parks, with a likely revisit to SFOT. If I can't get it as cheap as I want it though, then I'll probably just end up doing a Texas touring, hitting Kemah, SFFT, SWT, and SFOT, or just a small trip to BGE and KD for opening weekend.

 

Other than the definites, everything is really up in there. Hopefully the California trip will come to frusion. I'd also like to try and make it to Hard Rock Park, Hershey, and SFGAdv. I probably should have just signed up for the East Coast trip!

As I do every year, I will have a Six Flags season pass and visit SFNE alot... Other than that, I hope to get to either Cedar Point or Hersheypark in May or June, and I might get to go to Orlando for the first time in Febuary.

 

I'd also like to get to more of the New England parks that I haven't gotten to yet, like Lake Compounce and Funtown Splashtown.
