I guess with season ending now's a good time to look back on what we did this summer. For me I hit:
-SFA -Kings Dominion -All 4 Disney World parks -Mt Olympus (and Timber Falls adventure park) -Holiday World -Kentucky Kingdom -Kings Island -Cedar Point
Takeaways;
Dominator changed everything I thought I knew about steel coasters for the better.
Hades 360, Storm Chaser and Voyage absolutely changed my life.
Riding the Beast at night made me afraid of the dark.
Its been a calm summer this year. Including my 17 trips to SFGAm, I went to...
-Mount Olympus -Holiday World -Cedar Point -Carowinds -Darien Lake -SFGadv
ElToro continues to hold the throne of my #1 wooden coaster of all time. Valravn was... meh Thunderbird is an amazing wingrider Fury325 just became my new favorite coaster, besides Raging Bull !
Been to may theme parks, in many countries. However, SFGAm is my home park and I love it!
I love Thunderbird, those shorter trains made for some excellent tight maneuvers. Stuff that we should be getting on dives instead we get Valravn with long exaggerated elements like it was a stand up or winger.

Beyond the usual, I flew out to SoCal in May to see Battlebots being taped, and make a return trip to Magic Mountain. Also a few weeks ago I hit Adventureland.
Went to SFOG today and picked up 3 credits that I missed 2 years ago for HitP. Fun time!
Need some insight here. In the next week I'm going to BGT and Universal. One day at BGT and one day for each Universal park. I can only get a fast pass for one day, so should I go for BGT or Universal? I'm thinking Tampa, but idk. I've never been to any of those 3 parks so I'd like to get a sense much done as possible. I fear though that I won't get everything done at Universal without a fast pass because it's peak season. Same for Tampa though... thoughts?
I ended up ditching SFA and SFGad because Gotham wasn't open during HITP. Three best coasters closed, no thank you. Made a trip to SFMM and Knott's instead. I'm very pleased as now have over 275 credits because of this.
