Where has Robb not been?

[OISU8P]

Robb, I have been on the site for a little while. I have seen may of your trip reports around the world (all look fun). I understand of course that there are probably many places you have not been. However, is there a place or two that you have always wanted to go and just have not made it yet (not just theme parks)? Also, has there been any major coasters that you have not been on (excluding anything new this year of course)?

 

just curious...

[robbalvey]

There are a lot of places we haven't been yet, and many coasters we haven't ridden, but quite a few of them are not on our "priority" list. There are actually some places I'd like to get back to, before going to someplace "new." For example, Scandinavia and Northern Japan. I absolutely LOVED those places, and would like to get back to both, despite getting any "new" coasters, even though there are places like S. America, Russia, and South Africa that we have not been yet.

 

I'd say for us personally, both Russia and South Africa are on our list, but not as much for coasters as we would be for other things. We wouldn't do S. Africa until KidTums is old enough to do some of the safaris, which is at least a couple of years off, and we'd really like to do a Baltic Cruise for Russia, and hit some parks along the way. We have some TPR members who really want us to do a Brazil trip, so that will most likely add a bit of pressure for us to do that in the next year or two.

 

There are also places in Asia, like Taiwan and going back to South Korea that are on the list, and we'll probably hit them at some point.

 

As for "major" coasters we haven't ridden, that are lets say more than a couple of years old, I can't think of anything off the top of my head that would have been a top priority for us. Usually if a new ride opens, and we are interested in it, we'll try to hit it within 1-3 years of it's opening.

 

Hope that helps answer!

Yep, thanks for reply.

 

As I can see there are many places yet to be done for you and many more to come. Hope you enjoy them all as you empty the bucket list of travel.

Maybe I can help you out:

 

Montezum in S. America? http://rcdb.com/1150.htm?p=38321

Tower Of Terror at Gold Reef City? http://rcdb.com/1481.htm?p=1987

Anaconda at Gold Reef City? http://rcdb.com/1169.htm?p=2104

^ Ok, first of all, you don't need to "help me out", as I think I'm well aware of those rides, and secondly, if I felt than any of those were worth going out of our way for, we would have ridden them already. I'm sure we will probably hit them at some point, but some god awful RCCA woodie is nowhere NEAR the top of my list.

 

I would not consider any of those to be "major" coasters.

Sorry.

When you chose do to Sth Africa any chance we can make it a TPR trip. Its one of the places on my bucket list too. Another one for me (which is not to far off is Botswana as I've always wanted to see the Okovango Delta.

[SharkTums]

^Yes we will open it up and make a TPR Trip out of it. Just remember we have to wait till KT is at least six years old (requirement for the safari's) so you have a little time!

Awesome, gives me time to save up, I know the 8 day Botswana tour I've been looking at is like 4,500 roughly, so I may need a fair bit of money.
