It's 2008! Where are you headed this year?

[OldJJman]

Well, the coaster season "officially" opens for me today.

 

By "officially", I mean I'm getting new credits.

 

I'm heading down into Mexico to try and get the 3 small credits in Tijuana.

 

Trips this year for will include:

 

Today in Tijuana.

 

A day trip to Houston and Kemah.

 

A 3-1/2 day weekend to Hard Rock Park, Carowinds, BGE, King's Dominion, and SFGAd (Don't think that I can't do that. I'm a credit whore. Trust me.)

 

The TPR trip to China, South Korea with a short stop in Tokyo.

 

 

I'm also wondering if you'll be hitting any significant # in credits this year. I am trying to catch Elissa (WON'T happen), but I am seriously trying to get to 900.

 

 

Discuss, and have fun!!

Wait...what?! Elissa has more credits than you! Guess you're gonna have to say those credits in TJ count as like 10. Well, this year should be fairly light for me. I'll just be hitting up the local credits that I haven't gotten and maybe a short weekend trip to Vegas to get the credits there too. Next year, I plan to do something big.

Lets see.

 

I'm going to Cedar Point, Kings Island, SFGAM, Hershey, BGE, KD, and Valleyfair at least 10 times, Nickelodeon Universe at least 3 times, and I'll probably go whoring on our band trip to Chicago.

[CoasterWarriors]

It's very fade for me right now but here are the definite list of where I'm going...

 

Kings Island - Opening Days (April 20th, 2008!)

Indiana Beach in late August!

Cedar Point - BooBuzz Event if still continue

 

The reason it is fade for other part is depending where I'm doing my professional immersion (internship) for my master degree (Digital Storytelling from Telecommuncation Department). I am going to apply for Disney in florida and be able to achieve 30 to 40 credits while I'm in florida and a few stop on the way there and back from Indiana. If I end up doing internship in New York if I was denied from Disney in Florida... I have quite a few parks to hit in New York and surround states.

 

I currently have 68 credits now...Whoo hoo... Wish me luck!

[Milkchan]

I am really trying to go to Hard Rock Park

[Jhcbiinoc]

I'm hoping to do a lot more this year than last year. I have five weeks of paid vacation (two rolled over from last year) so I want to take advantage of it!

 

Definite:

Winter Coaster Solace and West Coast Bash-March

Knott's and SFMM

 

Six Flags Over Georgia (Atlanta)

Hard Rock Park (Myrtle Beach)

 

Hopefully:

Busch Gardens Europe

 

The latter three will be part of my trip to see family on the East Coast in May or June. I might end up splitting that into two trips.

 

I'm considering a few other trips as well, but they are dependent on a few factors. Once I get my new employees up to speed at work, finish some huge web development projects that will speed up workflow and streamline a lot of time consuming tasks, finish up some of the freelance projects I am working on and see what kind of budget I have, I may want to try to plan to add more to these trips or schedule some other ones.
