Jerrykoala2112 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Well, 2011 is just about in the books, so it is almost time to retire this thread for a 2012 version! But before we do that, how about everyone shares what parks they visited so far this year? But first let's make things a little interesting. I am thinking of a mystery park. If you happened to have visited this mystery park this year, you will win a Bag of Crap!! So, all you have to do is post your parks and you could win some fabulous crap!! So, those who have been to a lot of parks have a good shot at winning! Get to sharing those parks!! Do we need to repost our lists? Mine is only a page behind your post.

Pirouettes907 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 ^Well, to be fair, I didn't ride the coaster (I don't count powered ones). Mike did. But hey, I was at least there. I filmed him putzing around the track with a gigantic grin on his face because it was his THIRD visit to try and get that credit. And you thought I was bad.

Dragon Khan Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 This summer, I concentrated on Europe with: Bellewaerde Walibi Belgium Plopsaland Walibi Holland Efteling Toverland Phantasialand Europapark Holiday Park Parc Asterix Herne Cranger Kirmesse for Olympia goodness. I hit all these parks with fellow TPR members, and even home parks I consider "average" (to be polite) took another dimension with my two US coasterfriends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Edge of Beast- Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 'guys ready? Here we go: -Worlds of Fun -Oceans of Fun -Elitch Gardens -Island Kingdom Water Park It was a very slow season for me. I found my summer to be boring and pointless. It might have been just Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun if I didn't convince my parents to take me to Elitch Gardens and Island Kingdom for my birthday. I'm hoping to do a lot more next season like going to California and Wisconsin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

australianalex Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 2x Dreamworld - really fun, awesome rides. 1x Warner Bros Movie World - Home to my fave ride, Superman Escape. 1x Wet n Wild (if waterparks count) - home to some freaking amazing slides and a coaster that was closed the sky coaster was insane, my first time on a sky coaster. 3x Aussie World - fairly crappy park with a deathtrap wooden wild mouse and some lame fairground flat rides that me and my friends like to yell out "penis" on as loud as we can. Fun fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David H Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I joke that I'm a coaster Bulemic. Basically, I binge and purge. I do almost all of my coastering in big trips, with very little coastering otherwise. That's mostly due to a combination of factors including living in a big city, having no car, having friends who go to parks on weekends, and working in a restaurant on weekends (when the money is too good to give up for just the local parks.) Two years ago, I only rode one coaster in the US! So, my first trip this year was to Texas in June for ACE Con and related activities: Six Flags Over Texas Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Sandy Lake Park Schlitterbahn Six Flags Fiesta Texas SeaWorld San Antonio Space Center Houston (kind of like an amusement park!) Gay Pride Houston (even more like an amusement park!) Kemah Boardwalk Schlitterbahn Galveston Island Then, but 9 days later, I headed to Europe for the ACE Scandinavia Soujourn, plus side trips beforehand in the UK and in Italy and Montreal (yes, Montreal!) afterwards: Thorpe Park Legoland Windsor Alton Towers Various tourist traps owned by Merlin Parks (Madame Tousauds, The London Eye, The London Dungeons, Sea Life Aquarium), thanks to the MErlin Pass, plus the Doctor Who Exhibition, which is like a theme park! Linnanmaeki Powerland Särkänniemi Gröna Lund TusenFryd Liseberg Fårup Sommerland Djurs Sommerland Tivoli Friheden BonBon-Land Bakken Tivoli Gardens Mirabilandia Can I count Gardaland, if I bought and paid for a ticket online, but overslept and missed my train and had to skip it? Ibiza (trust me: Ibiza is wilder than any amusement park, especially if I'm there!) La Ronde Then I did a weekend in NYC for the Electric Zoo electronic dance music festival. I left early the first night to head to see Cirque du Soleil (with a quick stop at Victorian Gardens beforehand for a credit!), then to Coney Island. On Labor Day, I headed out to SFGAdv, for an especially dead day, with LOTS of riding!: Victorian Gardens Luna Park (Does walking through Deno's count?) Scream Zone (sort of part of Luna Park) (RCDB lists Astroland as operating the Cyclone, but the Cyclone is now part of Luna Park, isn't it?) Six Flags Great Adventure. So, all 30 (or more, depending on how your count them) of those parks are in three spurts, with no other coasters all year. I never even got to ride the new Wooden Warrior, even though I'm a a HUGE Gravity Group nerd, and it's around 2 hours from my house. (That happens when you don't own a car!) Speaking of which, I managed to get to all of these parks without owning a car, and only renting one in Texas this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimster Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Update to my list: Busch Gardens Tampa: around 30 times at least (I didn't count) Magic Kingdom Epcot Hoping 2012 will be a MUCH better year for me park-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAL Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 2011 was a good one! My coaster crazy 15-year old and I made two road trips, first to collect the Texas parks (and a certain New Giant - plus the legendary Schlitterbahn - nice!). Then in August, we circled the midwest. Holiday World was as good as advertised. King's Island was average but large. Six Flags Great America was the surprise hit (such a contrast with its one-time California sister). Other than that, it was reprise city - not a bad thing: Texas Loop Six Flags Over Texas Six Flags Fiesta Texas Schlitterbahn Sea World San Antonio Midwest Worlds of Fun Schlitterbahn KC Six Flags St Louis Holiday World King's Island Cedar Pt Six Flags Great America Vegas Speed the Ride (just before it closed) Canyon Blaster Buffalo Bill's Stratosphere Day trips Belmont Park Sea World San Diego Disneyland California Adventure Knott's Berry Farm Six Flags Magic Mt Castle Park Scandia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
