Postby Coaster Justin on February 10th, 2008, 7:06 pm
I have completly figured out where I want to go in 2008 and If anyone has any tips or suggestions to help me, I would appreciate it.


The Parks I Plan to go to are:

Arnolds Park
Adventureland
Fun Spot
Holiday World
Beech Bend
Six Flags St. Louis
Six Flags Over Texas
Kemah Boardwalk
Schlitterbahn Galveston
Little Amerricka

Lines, Crowds, Food Prices, etc. would be Great to Know.

^I was at Holiday World the year the Voyage opened. It's an awesome park, but an even better waterpark! I'm sure you could hit everything in the theme park and water park in one day very successfully (we did). The problem, however, is the lack of resorts near by other than the one across the street. We stayed about 15 minutes away and found it to be a nice stay (since a group of cheerleaders were staying there for a competition!). So bring the swim trunks and take advantage of the free drinks! Raven's my favorite! :D
RIP: Trailblazer and Deja Vu...heck, even Alien Encounter :(

You won't have to really worry about lines at Adventureland. Be sure to get all of the coasters along with Space Shot & Sidewinder. Tickets are $31.

If you go to SFst. Louis, I would try to go on the boss earlyish to beat the mid-day rush. It's a very long que. Mr. Freeze when two sides are running usually does not have that bad of a wait unless its in the middle of the summer..
I found that HH at sfstl. sort of, to put it nicely, sucks. (my thoughts) If you go to SFGAM's hh, it's basically the same but smaller.

Keep in mind that at Six Flags St. Louis they aren't always the most reliable at operating both sides (at least for my experiences at the park). I would actually hit Tony Hawk's, Freeze and then Boss. Have you also considered the Dells or Mall of America or Valleyfair. You'll be three hours (I think) from either the Dell's or Arnolds.

So lucky you got the cheer leaders! I might be visiting Sfstl as well this year.

^Don't tell me you're going to these parks just to get more credits....

No offense, but that's lame. You go to theme parks to have fun and enjoy the atmosphere.

Well went I went to SFGAm last year my sisters friend complained about the heat too and left at around late 12:00 or early 1:00 PM! We only got to ride 3 things which happened to be Iron Wold, V2, and Batman since my sister and her friend were too scared to ride Bull or Deja Vu.

Yeah, that's how my physics day group was in 8th grade. I just ended up wanderin off from them. :D Good luck with your trips, try and have fun and ride the flats too, you can never really tell what your fav. ride in the park will be unless you ride them all!
