pianojohn Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Hmmm...good question! Here's hoping for the following: King's Dominion and Busch Gardens VA in April during Spring Break week (April 2-8) Cedar Point in June for Coastermania (my 4th or 5th year in a row!) Worlds of Fun and possibly Silver Dollar City in late June. I am in Nebraska for a theater conference and these two parks are within a 3 hour drive. Hoping to finally visit these two! Possibly: Dollywood. I have a friend doing a show there, and I have not been there in many years. Hoping to make the trip AND really hoping Lightning Rod is running! Fall/Winter possibly back to CA. Although I live in Orlando and work for WDW, I have been to Disneyland and Knotts almost yearly for the past few years. Free admission into Disneyland with my cast ID and Platinum Cedar Fair pass makes it all worthwhile! That's it for now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cj1990 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Headed to Disney world Friday for a week. Definitely cedar point Hopefully King’s island. Not sure where else yet. I’m sure some other parks will happen but nothing planned yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Of Spades Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Definite Knott's Berry Farm Canada's Wonderland Possibly California's Great America Six Flags Disco Kingdom Six Flags New England Universal Hollywood Six Flags Magic Mountain Wishing For King's Island Kentucky Kingdom Some of the possibly votes come from a Christmas present from the S.O., but only to one destination. NorCal or Boston...decisions, decisions. KI and KK come in because I went last year and they quite immediately became my two favorite parks in the U.S., containing my entire top three coasters, so I'd love to go back for more.

SLCHeadache Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Tentative plans. Memorial Day: Canada's Wonderland Major summer trip: Cedar Point / Kings Island Might as well cross this over with the coaster poll thread. Here's where I expect new credits to place in my list (very high or very low): Steel Vengeance, Maverick, Millennium Force, Twisted Timbers: Top 10 Leviathan, Vortex (CW), Behemoth, Magnum XL-200, Mystic Timbers: Top 20 Corkscrew, Dragon Fire, Flight Deck, Time Warp, Bat (CW): Bottom 10 Gemini at CP might surprise you.. I liked it a LOT (way more than I was expecting, and we re-rode it multiple times). It makes my top 20 (at 20, but it's there) Seeing as Rebel Yell and Excalibur are sitting in the 60s on my list (out of 110), I'm doubtful Gemini will make it anywhere above the 40s. Batman is one of my yardstick coasters, and that sits around 35. I'm hoping that the rumblings of a B&M for 2019 means Canada's Wonderland will have an off year as US enthusiasts will be waiting for that. I could have sworn I saw pictures of an empty Millennium Force station from last year as enthusiasts were holding out for Steel Vengeance to be ready instead of hitting Cedar Point during an off year.

rtpb Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Big year for me here in little New Zealand! As I am turning 50 I decided to ride 50 different coasters to celebrate - the trouble is there is one coaster in NZ Therefore I am off to the states and will be visiting all the parks around LA, Orlando and the 3 coasters in Las Vegas.

WolfBobs Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Cleveland resident so Cedar Point and KI are parks I hit every year multiple times per year. Just finished booking a mini road trip to the following parks: KD (3rd visit) Morey's (first visit and the park I'm probably most giddy for this trip) and SFGAdv (5th visit but haven't been since 2005-ish, before El Toro and Kingda Ka went in) Thinking about hitting Lakemont for Leap the Dips if they're open again on the way home from Jersey. Solid maybes due to proximity: Waldameer Kennywood (probably hold off till 2019) and MIA Wishful thinking for this summer but ya never know! Knotts and/or CGA & SFDK I have to look at my time off and see what else I can plan out. I also have some Southwest Airlines giftcards burning a hole in my pocket so maybe I can get a Cali trip this summer after all! Edit* Just remembered I have two possible work trips this year to Japan and Denmark! If that happens then I'll have some additional planning to do!

christianscoasters Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I live in Sandusky, so of course I’ll be at Cedar Point fairly often. The only other trip I have planned is to Heide Park in Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Really really REALLY want to go to, in 2018: Oaks Amusement Park, Oregon for the new coaster! (And I also want to ride that Sally Corp trackless dark ride they got at Fairytale Land, {whasisitsname?} is!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComeRideWithMe Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I'm so happy I found this place. I've learned about so many parks I didn't know existed. After lurking and reading I've decided Cedar Point will give me the most bang for my buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparkes92 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Definitely Cedar Point Kings Island (CF passholder for 2018) Likely Michigan's Adventure (I have to pass by it when going home; with my CF platinum pass I could just swing in, ride ST, and then go home) Possibilities (some have very little chance of happening) Busch Gardens Williamsburg Carowinds Dollywood Dorney Park Fun Spot parks (both) Hersheypark Holiday World Indiana Beach Kennywood Kentucky Kingdom Kings Dominion Knoebels Six Flags America Six Flags Great Adventure Six Flags Great America Waldameer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a CF pass holder too and I've always considered making the drive out there. I guess I always figured I would be out that way at some point for something else and I could hop over and ride it. But I never have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
