Dude, I love roller coasters but I havn't even been on 36 coasters. It's because my family has been in a money situation ever since I was born. So I haven't been on that many even though it may seem stupid but I really don't care.
Top 3 Steel Coasters: 1. The Incredible Hulk 2. Maverick 3. Dragon Challenge (Fireball)

Top 3 Wood Coasters: 1. The Beast 2. American Eagle (Red) 3. Hades

So let me understand something.

You asking us to basically tell your friend how to spend his money?

Do what everyone does when they want to plan a trip go on RCDB.com for parks or rides that you maybe interested in. and Figure out the costs associated with the trip.

Thats not hard.

I don't think American Eagle backwards counts.

Well technically, they are two different coasters. Since they both do not have the same layout...they are actually very different.

^I don't think you understood what I said. Yes AE is two different coasters, therefore two different credits. When they turned the train around on Blue, that didn't make it another credit. At least I've never seen that on anyone else's count before.

2 weeks in either TX or CA is easily achievable on $1500.

And ditto on the 3 credits for Eagle, backwards or forwards it's the same ride on Blue.
Favorite Wood Coasters: The Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Thunderhead, Balder
Favorite Steel: Voltron Nevera, Steel Vengeance, Expedition GeForce, Olympia Looping
Parks visited: 232, Coasters Ridden: Steel: 894, Wood: 179, Total: 1073

I agree with FParker in TX or CA.
Both have a crapload of parks not to far from one another.

You could do the trip i want to do: Indiana Beach/Holiday World/Dollywood/Kings Island/SFKK and possibly Cedar Point for about that. They are all a half day's driving from each other, not even
