[ytterbiumanalyst]

It's the end of the season for a lot of us, and many of you early planners like me are looking forward to next year! Here's where I'm planning to go:

 

Absolutely:

Silver Dollar City

 

Probably:

Holiday World

Kentucky Kingdom

Beech Bend

Dollywood

Lake Winnie

Alabama Adventure

 

Possibly:

Knoebels

Hersheypark

Dorney Park

Six Flags Great Adventure

Morey's Piers

Make sure to stop by OWA when it opens.

Eh, not going that far south. We might end up dropping Kentucky Kingdom out of this too. It's a great place, and I'd love to go back, but it's also the most vulnerable, since I was just there last summer and Holiday World is on the itinerary too.

CALIFORNIA TRIP (June)

- Disneyland

- Disney California Adventure

At least one of the following:

- Knotts

- Six Flags Magic Mountain

- Universal Hollywood

- Sea World San Diego

- Legoland California

Which one should it be?

[ytterbiumanalyst]

Knott's is basically right next to Disney, so that's logistically the easiest, and the one I personally would pick if I were only able to do one. But it really depends on your group and their interests.

 

If you have small children, then go to Legoland

If you have animal lovers, then go to Sea World

If you have dark ride or show lovers, go to Universal

If you have thrillseekers, go to Magic Mountain

If you have people of diverse interests, go to Knott's

 

Hope that helps.

You'll have to let me know if/when you decide to visit Kennywood! If free, wouldn't mind meeting up!

[viking86]

Well, Djurs is already on the agenda, but I realized that Hansa Park is only a 2 1/2 hours drive from where we are planning to stay. I will easily make that trip!

[Nrthwnd]

Tokyo Disney for sure in late April (my third trip), wondering if Nemo will be open by then....and probably another randomly decided park.

Either Hershey Park or Bush Gardens Williamsburg when I visit my parents over the summer.

Of course a variety of Halloween trips as usual (Uni Hollywood, Knott's Scary, etc.)

They still could have soft openings of it, before the official opening.

Ongoing construction. I'm looking forward to this, when we get over there in 2018.

Yep, that's about it for this year.

 

Turns out Carowinds isn't till 2018. I had my dates confused, and we had to cancel Hawaii due to my father-in-law having a quadruple bypass. Everything else is set in stone. Can't wait to rack in a few new credits this year, and enjoy some old favorites.

[Jew]

I will likely do the Northern California Parks, Kennywood, and SFNE (since JetBlue goes through Boston from Los Angeles to Pittsburgh).

[The49er]

Money's getting a bit tight, so we'll see what ends up happening, but since I'm going to be doing some college visits and our family has some frequent cross-country flights for business, I might get to some out-of-the-way parks for me!

 

Definite:

-SFMM, spring break

-SFDK

 

Maybe:

-SFOT? (University of North Texas visit)

 

Blue sky dreaming, but probably not realistic:

-SFFT??? (friends down in San Antonio)

-Carowinds??? (business trips to Charlotte)

 

If any of this ends up coming through, I'll have one heck of a year, but I'm still happy to be going back down to SFMM for Twisted Colossus and the other credits I've missed!

[anonymouscactus]

This year I'll be going to Six Flags Magic Mountain semi-regularly, and maybe Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, Six Flags Discovery Kingdom and California's Great America at some point throughout the year. Also, in June I'll be visiting the Midwest and am excited to return to Cedar Point and Kings Island!
