Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.

It's awful in all seats, but second row is best, since it's the front of the train AND not a wheel seat.

I don't know for sure, but you may want to try the second to last row. From my experience of Arrow and Vekoma loopers, that is where I would sit if I were to ride it next year. In my opinion, it is the best seat on Demon as well. Try not to get a concussion! :lol:

We don't have any plans yet this year!

Last year we visited quite a few, but I almost want to get season passes to Cedar Point. We all really loved the rides there. The kid needs to grow a little more so she can get on all of the coasters though. :/

I think we'll try to hit up SF in Texas in August since I'll be out there for work. I want to go to SF St. Louis, but nothing is set in stone.

I think no Disney this year.. We went to Land and World last year along with Universal in Florida. I think we need to finally take an off year from Florida. It seems like we end up going to DisneyWorld every year though...

This January I was at Islands of Adventure, Universal Studios, Magic Kingdom, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Epcot.

As for the future of this year, SFGAm of course. Besides that... nothing is confirmed really. Potentially Worlds of Fun on a trip to Kansas City. Maybe Lagoon for a family vacation on the northern border states. And although unlikely, returning to Clearwater for winter break has been thrown around so maybe I'll get another day at Busch.

Due to lack of plans this year, maybe I'll try to work out going to SFStl, Indiana Beach and/or Mt. Olympus. Still never been to any of those parks.

Just not enough time and together is my fam's least fav Disney park. We hit 8 amusement parks in 11 days while driving from here, we did way too much for the allotted time. And it was crazy expensive.

Oh. That's what I hear from everybody. I don't love the park but I don't understand the hate for it.

And sure enough both me and my spouse have work trips to Orlando. My spouse's is at a WDW resort and mine is another hotel probably near WDW. Argh. I thought this was going to be the year we didn't go! So we might all go down on March or May depending on how other work trips pan out.

First-week of May:
-NYC... mostly touristy crap and the World Trade Center, but may shoot for the Cyclone/Thunderbolt credits
-Return to SF Great Adventure after getting burned by a power outage and a grueling Kingda Ka line a decade, ago
-SF America... because Iron Wolf. Shut up.
-Heading to NC from there but maybe something on the return leg?

Late-August:
-Adventureland

Fall/Winter
-Vegas?

Everything else is still up in the air.

SFA is also good for the three coasters in Gotham. My plans haven't really changed. They've just been put on hold while I recover. So subtract everything from March to July. Add Santa's Village to July, and CP to August.

As for my 2017 plans
For sure
SFGAm
Maybe
Dollywood
KD
BGW
Dells- This would include Noah's Ark, Timber Falls and yes Mt. Olympus
Indiana Beach
That's about it.


Update time
For sure
KD: Next week on Wednesday
BGW: Next week on Thursday
Indiana Beach: June 14th
Maybe
Dells: If this does happen it will be for the day and it would include Pirates Cove Adventure and Timber Falls.
For sure no
Dollywood: With all the issues LR is having I decided to save DW for another year.

Had some time in the car for some adjustments on the way up north for Memorial Day.
Trip Planning Update
My big summer trip will include...
Dollywood (hopefully, assuming Lightning Rod is working)
Six Flags America
Six Flags Great Adventure
Hersheypark (for sure if DW gets cut but I still might be able to squeeze it in anyway)
Kennywood

I also plan on hitting up Little Amerricka and Six Flags St. Louis in early August.

Yeah I've been gone for a while, but roller coasting, Wisconsin State Fair is kinda a joke, don't get ur hopes up too high, it's just eh. As for my plans, great America for sure sometime, and my family is taking a road trip to the east, by like Maine and Vermont, so I would like to see about going to SFNE, because wicked cyclone and Superman look [OK HAND SIGN]
