Ok, so every now and then a track record post comes up, and while that's all fine and good, thought of something different. What parks has everyone been to? More interesting than Track record as you can ride 30 dragon wagons and a handfull of other coasters at carnivals and have never set foot within an amusement park. And the neat part is that unlike track records, most people can post the whole list here (I dont know if I fit that category, but I'll try anyways). so here it goes (groundbreaking stuff here) (and yes, yes I'm board) (and it's copied from my track record, so that's why the year is there that I first visited, though I did add a few notes)

actually I was somewhat curious as to how well traveled some aruond here are.
Short lists are not bad, give it time (and $$$, then some more $$$)
Also figure probably 1/2 of the people who have responed so far are in the upper 1-5% of people in the world in terms of # of parks visited. And others not far behind.

That's my short list of parks I've been to... Soon to be 7 parks though. And in 2006 I may be lucky enough to visit SFMM and Knotts, but I'm probably just keeping my hopes up.
