Your Plans for 2005?

Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.
Postby DejaVuGurl1203 on December 28th, 2004, 1:56 pm
What parks do you plan on visiting in 2005? I plan on visiting...

SFGAm of course.
Cedar Point
Geauga Lake
Six Flags St. Louis in October (I know I've been saying that the past couple of years, but this year I'm going for sure.)
MiA possibly in September

I might visit a few other parks nearby if I'm lucky. I have a chance of going to Washington DC, so I might also visit some parks around there. Possibly Florida as well.

Hopefully I can convince my dad to take me down to SFStL for their opening day again. Just talked to my friend who has family in Toledo and she said her aunt would love to let us stay at their house and hit up Cedar Point for a day or two this summer.

And of course I'll be at SFGAm everyother week or so...

I'll Say Great America and Hurricane Harbor because I was supposed to go in august with my cousin but she had a hangover! LOL and we were supposed to go in October but it was too cold! So we're going 2-5 times in may/june/july and/or/august! I really hope the water park will be a success though!

Well, if you all must know, my very tentative plans are...

Adventureland
SFEG
Lakeside (denver)
Lagoon Park
Silverwood
Calaway Park, Calgary
Galaxyland
Vancouver Playland
Fun Forrest
(SF)Enchanted Village
Puyallup Fair
Oaks Park

Wonderland
Joyland
Frontier City
Sandy Lake Park
SFOT
SFFT
Seaworld Texas
SFAW
New Orleans City Park Carousel Gardens
SFNO
Visionland
Libertyland
Nashville Valley
Beech Bend

That's one Road Trip, if that doesnt happen, I'd expct to fly to Germany and do a road trip there, including Oktoberfest and Stuggart Fair's along with maybe a dozen parks, that I am still figuring out, and it depends on $$$. Also the usual random stuff I'll probably do.....

SFGAm
SFStL
WI Dells
Kiddieland
IB
Cedar Point
Waldameer
Coneat Lake Park
Geauga Lake maybe
SFKK
SDC (hopefully)
Celebration City (hopefully)
PKI
ValleyFair!
Worlds Of Fun
Islands of Adventure
Seaworld Orlando
BGT
Old Town
Cypress Gardens
Boomers Miami
SFOG
MI Adv(I sure hope not, but I bet I get suckered into going to that dump)

There are probably more that I'm forgetting, include like every park within a few hundred miles, or less than one day travel.

Overall a somewhat busy year for me hopefully (though I've had busier years), it all comes down to available money and gas prices.
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

This year it looks like my Cedar Point trip will actually happen, as well as GL and since we will be purchasing Cedar Fair passes Michigan's Adventure to more then likely and of course SFGAm.

In no particular order...

Well, that whole first list would be one 25 day road trip, so that'd be simple, all I need is money and a few people to go with. (I'm in alot of debt right now, and that trip isnt as likely as I'd like it to be, chances are higher of me gonig to Germany instead) :)

Rest are just one day type things, like drive to SFStL in the morn and back at night, same for IB, Adventureland, SFGAm of course, possibly CP and a few of those others. Then when I do IAAPA in Atlanta in Nov, I'll drive down to Orlando and take care of stuff there (mostly Cypress and BGT, since those will be the only 2 parks with new things since I was there last month). All the rest can be accomplished in one night trips, exept maybe Knoebels which I didnt list.

I do trips cheap, get like 5 people in one car, and in the absolute cheapest hotel room I can find on priceline, or Motel 6, and you'd be suprised how cheap trips can be. Of course for my 25 day road trip, it'd probably be 2-3 people if it happened, cant be to packed together for to long.

Still though in 2001 I managed to spend $5,000+ on coaster trips(did about 200 coasters that year at 35 different parks that year though), so all you people who arent quite there yet, save up so when you all are able to drive and do trips on your own, you have the money to do it. While expensive, it can be loads of fun, as I'm sure everyone can imagine :)

And for the record I work in the fast food business (in management now), and I also work at various carnivals either selling food with people i know, and/or setup and tear down of rides.

Still though in 2001 I managed to spend $5,000+ on coaster trips, so all you people have to save up, so when you all are able to drive and do trips on your own, you have the money to do it :)

And yeah, it's all about the Credits :)
Though I do like the park expierience alot more than rides these days, and I perfer smaller parks over the super huge ones. Quality over Quanity, I'd take IB over basically any major corperate themer in the US any day of the week. Also as for being carnivals, I perfer carnivals/fairs over amusement parks, I'm far more into flat rides than coasters, and that plays a huge role on what parks I choose to visit :wink:
