Where Are You Going in 2019?

[pryonisys]

Definitely:

Waldameer (home park, I can go get a lap on Ravine Flyer over my lunch break)

Darien Lake (first time with the season pass)

 

Maybe:

Hersheypark (My sister lives in Harrisburg and gets free tickets from Bears games)

Conneaut Lake Park

Six Flags Georgia (Work sometimes sends us to Atlanta for training, so it would be kind of nice to hit up a second Six Flags park)

 

It is going to be a lower park total for me this year as my wife and I are expecting a new baby in January. That makes park-going a bit harder.

[Diamondbacker27]

Without a doubt:

Kentucky Kingdom

Kings Island

Holiday World

Dollywood

Carowinds

 

Possibly:

Cedar Point

Six Flags Great America

[dmh1079]

Definitely:

Universal Studios Florida

Islands of Adventure

Kings Island

Cedar Point

Knott's Berry Farm

Disneyland

Disney's California Adventure

Magic Mountain

Santa Cruz Boardwalk

California's Great America

Discovery Kingdom

 

Possibly:

Sea World San Diego

Belmont Park

 

Aaand not much else, as those trips to FL and CA are pretty much killing my vacation budget for 2019 (both money and time-off from work)

[CaptainUnknown]

Definitely:

-Silver Dollar City

-Nickelodeon Universe

-Adventureland

 

One of the following:

-Six Flags Over Texas

-Six Flags Over Georgia

-Six Flags Great America

 

Likely:

-Valleyfair

 

Doubtful, but it could happen:

-Six Flags St. Louis

[ZeroGravity55]

Definitely:

Holiday World

Dollywood ( If I don't visit before the end of the year.)

Carowinds

 

Possibly:

Kings Island

Kentucky Kingdom

 

Maybe:

Busch Gardens Willamsburg

Kings Dominion

 

Now that I've got a nice new job, I can actually afford to start taking longer trips. I would be going to more parks but I'm also going to Vegas for my friends bachelor party and then Hawaii for his wedding. I might actually be doing Dollywood this Decemeber and if I do, I might ask my mom if she wants to go visit my aunt in Virginia in the spring 2019 and hit up BGW, KD and Carowinds on that trip. If I do that, then Kings Island and Kentucky Kingdom will be pushed back to 2020 and that's alright since Kings Island seems to be getting something big in 2020 anyways!

[michaellynn4]

Definitely SFGAdv, but the rest are a bit up in the air. It's looking like our trip to Niagara is getting scrapped / pushed back to 2020, but we may still be on for visiting friends in Colorado and my sister in San Fran, so that means SFDK, CGA, Elitch, and whatever that tinier one in Denver is that I'm too lazy to look up right now.

[bert425]

lots of places, still not completely locked down on all of em.

 

but for sure Fiesta Texas (a BUNCH of times) and SFoT at least twice

[coneyislandchris]

Foregone conclusions:

• Luna Park / Deno's (proximity)
  
• Rye Playland (proximity)
  
• Dorney Park (proximity to family / CF platinum passes)
  
• Sesame Place (SW platinum passes)
  
• Six Flags Great Adventure (nearest SF park, cheapo gold memberships)
  
• Knoebels (didn't make it out there once this year and I'll be damned if we let that happen again)

 

Almost certainly:

• Morey's Piers (hoping to pull trigger on season passes during Black Friday sale and spend more time down the shore with the family)
  
• Six Flags New England (memberships)
  
• Kings Dominion (CF platinum passes)
  
• Busch Gardens Williamsburg / Water Country USA (SW platinum passes)

 

Hopefully:

• Cedar Point / Kings Island (most likely end of season or the very beginning, either or)
  
• Kennywood (whenever Steel Curtain opens, or for Phantom Fright Nights again)

 

Depending on the kiddo's height:

• Knott's Berry Farm / Six Flags Magic Mountain (would like to hit up West Coast Bash for his birthday if he makes it up to 54" by then)
  
• Hersheypark (probably an off year since there's nothing new, but if he makes it to 54" you better believe he's making a beeline for Skyrush)

 

Depending on the family's finances:

• All the Florida parks (BGT, SWO, Universal, Disney, Fun Spots etc...)
  
• Canada's Wonderland (also dependent upon height, but need to get passports for the kids)

[DoinItForTheFame]

2019 is going to be a pretty slow year for us... Not going to a "lot" of theme parks, but instead we are going to a few parks that we have REALLY been wanting to go to!!! So for 2019 we are going to: (and these are pretty much in order)

 

- Knoebels

- Hershey Park

- Phantasialand (The park I am most excited about visiting in 2019!)

- Magic Kingdom

- Animal Kingdom

- Hollywood Studios

- EPOCT

- Busch Gardens Tampa

- And of course SDC a few times!

 

I just found out about the trip to Phantasialand a few days ago and I am SO freaking excited!!!

[Coastercowboy]

Hopefully 2019 will be (hopefully) a big year for us. We have a couple large trips tentatively planned and a few smaller ones. A lot of new parks for us. * = new park

[ytterbiumanalyst]

^ Going to Dorney and Hershey but not Knoebels?

 

[hendrixmarshalljames]

Going back to Carowinds is possible - but we're leaning towards staying home so we can do this in late Spring 2020:

 

Kolmarden

Liseberg

Energylandia

Phantasialand

Holiday Park

Europa Park

BPB and Alton Towers

 

Arriving in Norway, and leaving from the UK. Any advice from seasoned Euro-Trip veterans would be appreciated. We scratched Heide Park and Walibi. Although I think heading to PortaVentura would be worth it, we can't scrape that much time off. It's looking like 3 weeks as it is. Our taste tends to like ejector air more than floaty.

[coastered]

Definitely:

The big USA trip

- Coney island New York (* = First time visit)

[Married a Canadian]

Canada's Wonderland: Home park. Looking forward to Yukon Striker.

 

-WDW Florida: our annual Snowbird vacation. Doing the Disney runs round MK and Epcot this February for the first time. Am looking forward to that (probably a major coaster fan sin...running round the park rather than walking!)

 

-Universal Florida: Same as above minus the running part!

 

-Kings Dominion: Our "new" park for 2019. Father and son have "I305" and "Volcano" on our respective bucket lists. Will be perusing the forum for tips and advice in the early new year. Thankyou already to the people who have given advice on travel and operating schedules.

 

-Busch Gardens Williamsburg: Back to where it all first started for me in North America. Revisiting the first park I visited outside of Europe. We are very much looking forward to it (loved Apollo's Chariot back in the day) as there have been so many additions. We also loved the historical part of Williamsburg when last there, and plan to spend a couple of days in the area.

 

Two Disney Cruises, one to the Bahamas. One to Norway. Looking forward to the Norwegian cruise as it is out of my home country (UK) and my parents will be joining us for the first time on a cruise.

 

S***loads of overtime required between now and these trips!!

[larrygator]

I'll probably be light on the US this year since, I'm returning to Europe this summer focusing on Scandinavia and Poland. Not sure of all the European Parks, possibly.

 

Walibi World, Efteling, Toverland, Energylandia, Legalandia, Liseberg, Kolmarden, Grona Lund, Phantasialand, Tivoli Gardens, Wonder Island, Linnimaki

 

 

US Parks are likely to be Northeast based: SFGAdv, SFNE, Kennywood, Knoebels, possibly some small New England parks. Last minute sales will impact my decisions this year as I did not renew with Busch or Cedar Fair.

[prozach626]

Next season we will kick it off like this last season by attending Coaster Campout at CP. My brother and sister in law want to come with us this time, which will be cool. They have never been to CP before. Over the last two years they have come to KI, SFGam, and SFSTL with us. They dig it.

 

Right now, we're planning a summer vacation to include SFGadv and CW. This has spawned probable sight seeing in Philadelphia, New York City, Niagra Falls, and Toronto. We're also going to fly to Carowinds for a weekend trip and we'll drive north to SFGam on some Saturday. Other than that, a few beers spread over a couple nights at SFSTL will also take place.
