ebl Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I went to USH on my birthday back in 2005. Though I can't remember the exact years, I've been to SFMM on my birthday a few times as well as Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day on a few occasions.

Pufferfish Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I have celebrated my birthday at BGE twice, Carowinds once, and WDW 3 times. I have also celebrated new years at both WDW and USO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenDen Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Every Labor Day, Memorial Day, and Forth of July during my teens at Kennywood. Spent a few Birthdays at Adventuredome, Stratosphere, Buffalo Bills. Once at Magic Mountain. Visited MGM Grand Adventures during Thanksgiving once, as well as Islands of Adventure.

rcdude Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Since I live in Southern California and my birthday is in January, I usually go to a park every year for my birthday (not always on my actual birthday but on a neighboring weekend). It has generally been Knott's Berry Farm although this past year I went to Six Flags Magic Mountain. Back when I had passes to the Disneyland Resort (2001-2005) and Universal Studios (2004) I went to those places instead. It is great because the parks are usually pretty empty. I try my best to avoid amusement parks on holidays, especially major ones. The last time I can remember going to a park on a holiday was when I went to Knott's Berry Farm on Veterans Day 2000 (actually on Veteran's Day). Ghostrider had a three hour wait, Jaguar was about a half-hour, Windjammer Surf Racers was around an hour, and the Log Ride was over an hour. I don't think we did anything else that day because it was way too crowded. Because of that experience, I avoid parks on holidays unless I have no other option.

shepp Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Since my birthday's in early June, that's a good time for coaster trips, anyway. Celebrated my '07 birthday by getting my pocket picked on the boarding platform of El Toro (and got a belated present when, the next day, security gave me back my wallet missing only a smallish amount of cash). This year, I'll be doing the birthday freebie at DLR - happily on a weekday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueerRudie Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 16 October 1992- Busch Gardens Williamsburg- and it was PHENOMINAL! Park was mostly empty, Rides were re-ride/walk on (Even DF in it's inaugural season!) and I had the BEST time- PLUS, as an added bonus- My beloved girl, Nessie, did an E-STOP with us on the second Lift- requiring a WALK DOWN! (AMAZING!) So, of my birthdays- one of the greatest. Ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiFan Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I have never visited a park on my birthday. I have been to MGM at WDW a few times on Christmas most recently 2006. It was great, ToT was a walk on in the middle of the day! The other holiday park visit I can think of was when I went to Dorney on Labor Day 2006, the park was dead. I went in 2007 on Labor Day to Hershey. It wasn't nearly as good. Lots of closed rides, 1 train running on too many coasters and long lines.

sfmmrules! Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 I did also go to Disneyland on St. Patrick's Day in 2001 but I wasn't sure if that would count or not but I guess it does. Oh yeah I also forgot! I went to Belmont Park in San Diego to ride the Giant Dipper on New Year's Day 2000. Now I know that's it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FitchCoaster Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 It used to kind of be a tradition to go to Disneyland for Christmas, or sometime close to Christmas, but we stopped awhile back. I think in the late 90's, early 2000's is the time we stopped going. Other than that, I haven't been to a park on a holiday lately. I think it's time to start that tradition again...

Electerik Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I avoid going on holidays, and really can't remember if I've ever done so. I used to go to Disneyland on my birthday when I was in my early teens. A tradition I kind of revisited this year by going to Animal Kingdom. Of course, Disney's whole "get in free on your birthday" thing may have had something to do with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuschSchoe Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I just went to Busch Gardens Williamsburg on Easter Sunday and now I can go to the park for my first time this year on my birthday (in December) during Christmas Town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milst1 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 We were at WDW on Thanksgiving and spent this past Easter Sunday at Mirabilandia in Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satchboogie3 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I went to Busch Gardens Tampa on Thanksgiving (or maybe the day after, I can't remember, lol) a couple of years back. I went to SFNE on mothersday, the park was empty. I like to avoid normal summer holidays, as parks tend to be packed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
