[SLCHeadache]

For sure (nearest parks):

Kings Dominion

Six Flags America

Busch Gardens Williamsburg

 

Very likely (weekends at each of these parks easily before July):

Hersheypark

Knoebels

Six Flags Great Adventure

 

Likely (one of these the weekend before the total eclipse):

Dollywood

Carowinds

 

And maybe a few of these (during June/July trips):

Cedar Point

Kings Island

Dorney Park

Kennywood

Six Flags New England

Likely:

Holiday World

Six Flags St. Louis

Kings Dominion

Silver Dollar City

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom

 

Somewhat Likely (plans being discussed)

Disney World

 

Possibly? (Would really like to plan a trip if I still have time and money after the ones I'm really making it a goal to visit this year)

Knoebels

Hershey Park

 

I could list other "maybe" parks that are near some of the ones I'd be going out of my way to visit, but that might be too optimistic.

[Mystic.TIMBR]

Defiantly:

Kings island

Carrowinds

 

 

Maybe

Kings dominion

Dollywod

Universal

[Ed Farmer]

Very excited for 2017 coastering. Due to that nagging Viper is getting TAERD DOWN rumor, we'll be hitting SoCal up for the first time (hopefully for West Coast Bash, if Viper can hold on that long). SFMM and Knotts have personally been huge coaster targets since X and Xcelerator were new, so this by itself makes 2017 a success. We're also looking to stop by Hershey again sometime in early July, and have our yearly late-season CP trip scheduled to coincide with the unannounced, mid-week opening of Kind Streak.

 

Oh, and the home park (SFGAm).

[ytterbiumanalyst]

Defiantly:

Kings island

Cedar Point

Carrowinds

Me, I'd rather happily go to those places. Defiance just isn't the right emotion for theme parks.

[Skittles]

Over the summer, since I just recently became a true "coaster enthusiast" this past week, I'm planning this trip.

 

Big 2017 Trip

- June 26th - Fly into Tampa

- June 27th - Busch Gardens Tampa

- June 28th - Fun Spot America and SeaWorld Orlando (I'd like to do Disney and Universal, but they are much too expensive and there isn't much to do as a thrill seeker at Disney)

- June 30th - Carowinds

- July 1st - Fun in Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg (possibly an Alpine Coaster)

- July 2nd - Dollywood

- July 3rd - Holiday World

- July 4th - Kentucky Kingdom

- July 5th - Kings Island

- July 6th - Break Day

- July 7th - Cedar Point

- July 8th - Kings Dominion

- July 9th - Fun in Washington DC

- July 10th - Six Flags Great Adventure

- July 11th - New York City fun and (possibly) Lake Compounce

- July 12th - Six Flags New England

- July 13th - Fly back to San Francisco

 

I know, it sounds ridiculously expensive. But I've got 3 good friends who I will be splitting the cost with.

 

Besides the big trip plus visits to my home parks (SFDK and CGA), I will also be going to the following parks

- Silverwood (I have relatives in Spokane)

- Las Vegas coasters (Desperado, Adventuredome, and Manhattan Express)

 

I've got a big year ahead of me. I will probably break the 100 coaster mark. Any support would be helpful!

[VF15]

2017 will be a fairly light travel year for me since I'm trying to save up for a 2018 Kings Island-Cedar Point trip. I'll likely head down to Adventureland at some point since I missed Monster last year, but aside from that, most of my park time this summer will be spent at VF.

[dreynolds1982]

Definitely

Carowinds (home park so more than once)

Cedar Point (going for the first time ever in May!)

 

Maybe

SFOG (haven't been in years but a fairly easy trip from Charleston)

WDW (was just there in November but might go back this Dec)

Family Kingdom (will be in Garden City in June for a week so might try to grab a ride or two on the Swamp Fox)

[PKI Jizzman]

This is really turning out to be a big travel year for me. Honestly, I've not been to many parks in the past couple years, so I'm really making an effort this summer.

 

Going to DC at the end of the month, so naturally I'm going to try for SFA. Honestly, I just want to ride Wild One and Superman.

Carowinds in May. I've flown over the park every year since Fury was built, so it's about time I actually get to ride it.

Kings Island in July.

Cedar Point in July or August.

September - I THINK I'm going to go to Stockholm. Grona Lund is there!!!

[cookiex]

Planning to:

 

Tivoli Gardens

Bakken

BonBon-Land (haven't been there since 2002 so I figured why not)

Liseberg

Phantasialand (Wintertraum)

 

Likely:

 

Hansa Park

 

Possible:

 

Heide-Park

Gröna Lund

Kolmården

Djurs Sommerland

[christianscoasters]

I have my most anticipated trip ever this year! I'm going overseas for the first time. To say I'm excited is an understatement.

 

I live in Sandusky, so I'll be at Cedar Point plenty of times.

 

I'm visiting Universal Orlando and SeaWorld in two weeks.

I'll also be visiting:

-Canada's Wonderland

-Holiday Park

-Europa Park

-Phantasialand

-Efteling

-Hansa Park

-Tivoli Gardens

-Grona Lund

-PortAventura/Ferrari World.

 

In addition, I'm considering a Kentucky Kingdom/Dollywood trip.

[dchang11]

Either Kings Dominion or Hersheypark for now. Haven't made plans yet.

[TheJewelOfJool]

I'm only going to Canada's Wonderland because of the crappy Canadian Dollar.

[flagrockerthegreat]

Six Flags Over Georgia.

Waterville USA.

Kings Island.

Cedar Point.

OWA.

[coasterer]

I have a lot of possibilities but not much locked down. Trying to use this year to fill in some of my remaining holes.

 

Hoping for:

SWO and BGT - the two largest remaining parks in the US for me - and possibly Fun Spot

A repeat trip to SFDK for Joker and CGA for Gold Striker, and hopefully Giant Dipper in Santa Cruz

KK, Holiday World, and King's Island (haven't been since 2007)

Camden Park potentially, on a drive up to PA

Dollywood in the fall

Rye's and Clementon in June for their woodies

Potentially might have a trip to Spain later this year, gotta get to Port Aventura and possibly Parque Warner
