Currently on my three park trip to Hershey Park, Dorney Park, and Six Flags Great Adventure. Finally getting a decent dose of Intamin (being from Florida). These coasters are awesome so far! Top 3 so far are Farenheit, Hydra, and Possessed.

Well I am pretty young (12) so I can't really plan trips for myself. The only time I get to go to parks is usually at me and my little brother's birthday and since we live in Florida we are restricted to Florida Parks. But we have a good coaster lineup this year. We have four parks lined up. My brother's birthday was in middle of June. So we got to hit both Universal Parks which we went to 3 years ago. For my birthday in early October I am hoping to get Busch Gardens (home to my favorite coaster Kumba and new Cheetah Hunt ride) and Seaworld which I have never been to.

I'm just going to my home park, California's Great America once or twice every week since it's the only thing to do in the Santa Clara Valley. I think it's fun and I would reccomend people to go there. Because Great America is in real bad shape, I'll type this:

SAVE GREAT AMERICA by going there if you're going to San Francisco.

I know it's a weak "advertisement", but I'm just trying to make a point.

First significant trip will be to head down I-4 to Tampa for the opening of Cheetah Hunt. In July, gonna be hitting up Six Flags America, Hershey Park, Dorney Park, and Six Flags Great Adventure, all which will be new trips. Sometime later in the year before the season ends I want to hit up Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Kings Dominion, and Carowinds.

Oh, and of course I'll continue to hit up Seaworld Orlando and Universal Orlando regularly.

Hey Brian I'm also going up to Hershey on Easter. The rest of my year will include a trip to six flags great adventure, Moreys Pier, probably a Dorney trip and a Knoebels trip. Also, I will hopefully get down to Orlando and get some new parks in.

That is good to hear Frog! I rode the Sponge Bob coaster when I was in Minnesota last Summer and thought that Wicked might be kind of like that; The SB coaster wasn't bad, but I didn't like the way it crept up the hill. I wished that there had been a launch on the Sponge Bob ride so that I could have experienced some air time on that first hill.

I was born and raised in Utah, so Lagoon was the best theme park I could get to growing up. The white woodie there is also really fun too.

Finally someone that has been or is going to Lagoon! Wicked is so amazing, even though it isn't neccesarily big. The launch up the hill is phenomenal, and instead of slowly cresting the top of the hill, it gave me loads of airtime, the most I have ever felt! And the ride restraints are perfect! Just watch out because they are tight, and the ride ops press them down as hard as possible. You might find it hard to take a full breathe (no kidding).

Coster riding is difficult with kids, but I always manage to get in a couple of rides. My husband and I take turns watching the kids so that each of us can ride solo.

Maybe I'll plan a trip for Kings Dominion without kids to conquer all the new coasters and plan on taking the fam to Busch Gardens since I will realistically only get in a couple of coasters anyway. I haven't been to Busch Gardens since 91'! It has changed so much with Bad Bad Wolf gone and all the new rides.
