Absolutely:

Probably:

Holiday World

Kentucky Kingdom

Beech Bend

Dollywood

Lake Winnie

Alabama Adventure

 

Possibly:

Knoebels

Hersheypark

Dorney Park

Six Flags Great Adventure

Morey's Piers

[Nrthwnd]

Cedar Point.

 

That's it.

 

I think.

I don't believe you. You're going to be at the PNE almost every day.

[nannerdw]

Definitely:

Dollywood

Kentucky Kingdom

Carowinds

 

Maybe:

SFOG

BGW

Beech Bend

 

Either: [Holiday World (last visit 2015) to SFStL (last visit 2007) to Silver Dollar City] or [Magic Springs to SFOT to Fiesta Texas] New parks in green.

What would you guys recommend?

We're still fine tuning our plans, usually they're incredibly spontaneous. The following parks are a guarantee though.

 

Six Flags Great Adventure (probably on the first day of 2017)

Six Flags New England

Dorney

Sea World

Busch Gardens Tampa

Fun Spot

Knoebels

Kings Dominion

Cedar Point

Carowinds

Kings Island

Busch Gardens Williamsburg

Morey's Piers

Some sh*thole parks on the way home from Morey's like Steel Pier, Keansburg or Casino Pier

Funland Rehoboth Beach (lol, shut up this counts).

[KristenLeigh]

I'm looking into getting my husband and I season passes to Kings Island but it would be the platinum passes so we could go to Kings Island and Cedar Point. What other Cedar Fair parks are there and where are they located? I also want to visit Holiday World and KennyWood and maybe Kentucky Kingdom (haven't been since 6 Flags days).

[coasterbill]

What other Cedar Fair parks are there and where are they located?

 

Here's the full list.

[ZambeziZinger]

Definitely:

Worlds of Fun

Six Flags St. Louis

Silver Dollar City

 

Probably:

Six Flags Great America

Kings Island

 

Planning:

Six Flags New England

The Great Escape

La Ronde

Lake Compounce

Quassy

Fun Town USA

Canobie Lake Park

(maybe more)

[coasterbill]

If you haven't done one of those east coast trips before (it seems like you're planning one epic road trip) I can't stress enough that you need to add a day in Montreal to check out the city in addition to the day at La Ronde. La Ronde blows but Montreal is amazing.

[ytterbiumanalyst]

Definitely:

Dollywood

Kentucky Kingdom

Carowinds

 

Maybe:

SFOG

BGW

Beech Bend

 

Either: [Holiday World (last visit 2015) to SFStL (last visit 2007) to Silver Dollar City] or [Magic Springs to SFOT to Fiesta Texas] New parks in green.

What would you guys recommend?

HW, SFStL, and SDC, without a doubt. Magic Springs sucks except for the waterpark, but Splashin' Safari is better. If you don't like waterparks there is absolutely no reason to go to Magic Springs. Fiesta Texas is pretty good, the best Six Flags park I've been to, but it’s not SDC or HW.

[bert425]

the only one on my list is Cedar Point (for my first time).

 

but that's because my Husband and I are doing a Cruise in Feb.. . so I'm assuming that will cover our "family" trip this year.

 

so likely our next big theme park trip together is not until 2018.

[larrygator]

The three domestic road trip ideas I am considering are as follows:

 

East Coast

Kings Dominion

BGW

Carowinds

SFoG

Dollywood (and surroundings)

Beech Bend

Kentucky Kingdom

Holiday World

Kings Island

Cedar Point

Knoebels

 

California (North and South)

SFDK

SCBB

CGA

SFMM

KBF

Indiana Beach

Bay Beach

After staying domestic this year I'm planning on doing an international trip next year. Somewhere where there's great beer, rides, and parks, and nice scenery. I'm also considering doing that Holiday World coaster event next June (if they're still doing it) since I've never been and it would an easy extended weekend trip to pull off. I have Six Flags and Universal passes, so I'll hit both Six Flags in CA and USH of course, and may hit other local parks if I have friends that want to go. If any bash events are announced I'll definetely go to those, at least the ones I can drive to easily.

[RCT3Bross]

100%:

- Efteling

- Phantasialand

- Movie Park Germany

- Skyline Park

- Disneyland Paris

- Parc Asterix

 

2017 trip (work in progress):

- Ferrari land

- PortAventura

- Parque Warner Madrid

[christianscoasters]

Well I'll obviously visit CP a couple of times, as I can literally see Valravn from my living room and hear Raptor from my porch.

 

I've already booked a flight to Germany next year for a two-week Europe trip! We plan on visiting Europa Park, Holiday Park (if we can figure out how to get there), Phantasialand, Efteling, Hansa Park, Tivoli Gardens, Liseberg, Grona Lund, and PortAventura!

 

Hopefully I can make it to Carowinds too.
