How Often Do You Go To Your Local Park?

[Team Thriller]

Since I'm in the middle of everything and have a few houses. I have a few 'home parks'.

 

Europa Park - Once every two months

Walibi Belgium - Once a month

Holiday Park - Once every three months

I probably average 1 to 2 visits a month between USF/IOA, SWO, and BGT. I also get to each Disney park once a year.

[coastercrzyjames]

Technically my home park is Castles N Coasters in Phoenix, and its a 3 hour drive and in my 7 years of living in Arizona, I have yet to go there!! It's a goal of mine to make it out there and get my credits before this summer is over.

 

Other than that I visit SFMM about once a year, and sometimes more. One year I had a season pass and I think i used it 4 times. LA is only a 8-9 hour drive from here, but who wants to spend all day driving!

[Sir Clinksalot]

Even though SFMM has always been my "Home" park, I also consider Disneyland to be my home park.

 

We generally visit SFMM once a month (maybe twice in some months). Disneyland we have been known to visit once a month or 3 times in a month. Probably an average of twice a month.

My home parks are Seaworld Gold Coast, Warner Bros. Movie World and Dreamworld.

Ive only been to Movie World once which was Feb this year.

And Sea World once which was in 2001.

I went to Dreamworld about 13 times last year.

I think its the best up there. It needs a B&M though.*cough*Orochi*cough*

My homepark is Linnanmäki, I go there none-once a year, a wristband costs 35€ (except for the halfprice day and the 'light week'), which is really too expensive considering what you get imo.

My home parks would be SFMM, DLR and KBF.

I go to SFMM about 15 times a year, I go to DLR about 4 times a year, and I go to KBF about 2 times a year

[HPCrazy]

For me it would be Hersheypark and usually this is how it goes for me and my friend Alex every year:

 

February: off-season trip to take pics, see the Chocolate World parade and if they overlap the free ZooAmerica Community Weekend, usually that.

 

April: lately it's because of my uncle (who isn't into parks) gives my friend Alex and I tickets for the Harley company picnic which has free food and free parking! If it weren't for this, I probably would not go this month (I like HP in the Dark better than STITP anyways).

 

June: Alex and I go for our annual summer trip, usually towards the beginning of the month.

 

October: we do our annual "HP in the Dark" trip

 

November: same with Christmas Candylane.

 

So overall, my friend Alex and I averaqe at least five trips a year together. I think if I would go too much, I would get tired of it - lol!

My current home park is Dollywood. I live about 1 mile away, and I go anywhere from about once a week to once a month depending on how busy it is.

 

As home parks go, I think it's a pretty good one.

[I love DW]

My home park is Holiday World (2 1/2 hour drive). I go once a year usually. This year I may end up there twice though.

[GriffyTiffy]

Mine is SFGAM and I usually end up going around 8-10 times a year. This year I think it will be more because I've gone 3 weeks in a row already (counting my future trip this Sunday) and it has only been open for 3 weeks!

[Mr. Volcano]

Well if Cypress Gardens counts (like 6miles away) I would say I probably visit it... like, once every 2-3years? I actually have no need to go there anymore.

 

I do however visit Busch a couple of times which is more of a homepark.

My local parks are SFA (30 minutes or so away) and KD (1-1.5 hours). I'll normally go to SFA once a week or every other week. KD once a month or so.

[coastersrule85]

Since the untimely demise of the dearly departed Astroworld, I have to make the 3 1/2 hour drive to San Antonio or Arlington. I usually hit SFOT 8 to 10 times a season, and I make at least one trip to SFFT. I live in the town where there is supposed to be a new amusement/theme park being built, Earth Quest, but we haven't heard much about it lately, so who knows. However, if/when it is finished, I will be one happy camper!

[FitchCoaster]

My home parks are Knott's and Disneyland.

I go to Disneyland 1-3 times each year. Every year my number of visits to Knott's varies, but I go there 3-4 in September-November for Halloween Haunt. So on top of all my visits during the rest of the year, I'd say I go to Knott's 4-6 times in a year.

Another close park to me is SFMM, but I only go there once or twice a year. I'd go way more often if I lived a bit closer.

[bhslhs]

For me I go to Silverwood at most twice a year because its so far away for a local park and I have to stay overnight. A Silverwood trip for me costs about 300 bucks.

[mayberry21]

Mine's Knoebel's. I like to go at least once a month...we usually end up going every other weekend. Granted we go on rides but it's a nice enough park where I can wander around eating ice cream all day, not go on anything and still enjoy the day

[crazydaveh]

Mine are all the Orlando parks. I go at least once a month to one of them. I save Disney for the Fall for Food and Wine Fest, Universal for the Spring for Mardi Gras, and SeaWorld for the winter because it's dead.

 

I hit the waterparks in the summer, well, because it's hot here in Florida!

[Beef209]

Since the park that is closest to me is a shithole, or it is also called SFA, I really don't go there much. Sometimes I go to King's Dominion, but that is pretty far away and I don't go there very much. I usually just go to SFA maybe 4 or 5 times a year, but one of those times is just to get my Season Pass. I spend my summers traveling around and this year I am going to San Francisco to go to the last Six Flags Park in the country I need to go to.

[Homeboy23]

I'm about 15-20 minutes from Kings Dominion and about an hour from Busch Gardens.

 

I usually go to KD 2-3 times a summer.

 

I make it to Busch Gardens about 4-5 times.

[timberskara]

I'm at VF 6 days a week...and most of the time I don't even ride anything! I guess I just love it there that much .

[dino]

My home parks are Disneyland & Knott's

Usually hit Knott's about 3-4 times a year. Once for haunt, once in september with friends, and again randomly with family. Disney I usually hit about once a month though.

[TYTL]

My home parks, in order from closest to farthest, are Clementon Park, SFGAdv , Hersheypark, and Knoble's. I love both Hershey and SFGAdv, but I go to Hershey more often because my family likes it better since it has more things for the non-coaster fanatics to do. Clementon is sub-par for rides , but has a nice water park, If you don't mind long lines. Oh yeah, the log flume at Clementon is very good, but for sheer drop, Knoble's can't be beat. Knoble's is getting a new Bobsleigh coaster, so I'm going to try to get there.

[Nrthwnd]

Starting this weekend my home park, Playland, will be open only Saturdays, Sunday and holidays up to June 13. Then it starts adding weekdays and by the time I return from the TPR Scandi Tour it'll be open all week.

 

That said, I'm going to try and go to it every weekend day, getting some exercise in (walking to the park takes about 40 minutes for me) and our Victoria Day which is a Monday holiday (May 18).

 

So, up to leaving for the Scandi Tour, I'll hope to get 10-12 visits in. That averages to around twice a week, I guess.

 

[HPCrazy]

Hershey is my homepark so I get out there several times a year, usually in the summer, fall and during the holidays, besides the off-season.
