Alright, so I am definitely going to Cali this March for Solace. I am hitting DCA, DL, SFMM and KBF.

This August I want to go on a big trip somewhere else. I have a few options but I don't know which one to choose from. Here are the possiblities...

-Worlds of Fun, Six Flags St. Louis, Silver Dollar City and Celebration City, Magic Springs, Six Flags Over Texas and Six Flags Fiesta Texas

-Dells(Mt. Olympus, Timber Falls Adventure Park), Six Flags Great America, Indiana Beach, Holiday World, Beech Bend, Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom

-Paramount Carowinds, Myrtle Beach Area, Six Flags Over Georgia, Lake Winnie, Dollywood, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Paramount Kings Dominion

-Great Escape, La Ronde, Six Flags Darien Lake, Paramount Canada Wonderland, Canobie Lake, Lake Compounce, Six Flags New England

Which one would you choose?

do the dells trip. I would kil to get out there.

I also agree with Nick. You get to hit up some kickin' woodies out there, probably most of the top 10 in the country.

No brainier, DELLS. Save the Texas, Tennessee trip for Sept /October when it's still warm out west compared to here. Dollywood in December was also one of my favorite trips last year.

2006, Year of the wooden coaster. That's basically what I've planed my trips on around this season.

Trip 1 : Sept/ October
Trip 2 : opening day
Trip 3 : Sept/October
Trip 4 : June July

Is when I would do those trips

chilled182 · « **Reply #4 on:** January 04, 2006, 07:14:50 PM »

Dollywood in december is nice, except for none of the outside roller coasters are opened! Ive been to that twice.

Bubba Z · « **Reply #5 on:** January 04, 2006, 07:43:35 PM »

40 degrees or higher and they open the coasters. 10 morning laps on Thunderhead was great.

chilled182 · « **Reply #6 on:** January 04, 2006, 09:13:35 PM »

okay so I guess i went on extra cold days. I will be in Tennessee for Presidents Day weekend, strictly for a hike though. Im pretty sure dollywood isnt open then anyways.

Robert T Ackerman · « **Reply #7 on:** January 04, 2006, 11:04:42 PM »

I told you the Dells!!!

rjholla2003 · « **Reply #8 on:** January 05, 2006, 01:37:59 AM »

100% gotta say the Dells.

Cyclonic · « **Reply #9 on:** January 05, 2006, 11:42:26 AM »

I'm with everyone else, hit the Dells, HW, and Beech Bend. You won't be disappointed. Don't forget Little-A-Merric-A, they are supposed to have the Meteor ready by then, with luck.

WadeJ · « **Reply #10 on:** January 05, 2006, 11:43:47 AM »

Do the Dells, and then everything and anything you can hit between here and there. You could hit some major awesome coasters on that trip.. And the best part is, most of them would be wood

ChuckR · « **Reply #11 on:** January 05, 2006, 02:59:22 PM »

Yes, I would be getting alot of wood coaster credits. I am going to try to hit SFOG and Dollywood the weekend of the Ace Spring Fling. I wanan ride Goliath and Thunderhead.

Ok, so if we take the drive out to Wisconsin on a Thursday night (over night) into Friday.. do The Dells on Friday night and all day Saturday, SFGAm Sunday and Monday, Indiana Beach Tuesday night, PKI Wednesday (most of the day, we won't need a full day) Beech Bend Thursday morning, Holiday World Thursday night, and SFKK Friday morning... drive home Friday night into Saturday morning. Sounds like a good trip, I did the same one last year :lol: (Last year I did SFStL and didn't do Beech Bend)

I really can't wait to ride Hades and Avalanche again.. and try out The Voyage and The Kentuckey Rumbler. Should be a blast, I wish it was July right now so I'd only be a month away... I guess I'll live since I'm going to Cali in about 60 days

August is entirely too far away.

WadeJ · « **Reply #17 on:** January 06, 2006, 08:57:53 PM »

I'm wishing I was 20 again :cry:

Oh well, Have fun guys!

PcMan · « **Reply #18 on:** January 09, 2006, 12:45:13 AM »

Sounds like a awesome trip
All the wooden coasters and the New Voyage and Rumbler

ChuckR · « **Reply #19 on:** January 15, 2006, 03:18:26 PM »

Alright guys what do you think? Cedar Point or Kennywood?

Bubba Z · « **Reply #20 on:** January 15, 2006, 10:11:46 PM »

Kennywood since you've been to CP and they have nothing new except a swing. Plus it's a shorter drive to KW.

innervision · « **Reply #21 on:** January 15, 2006, 10:13:41 PM »

Im going with CP, its on the way and riding MF and TTD are always worth the stop. Plus ive never ridden MaxaIr, and the swings will be there.

blazzinmatt · « **Reply #22 on:** January 16, 2006, 01:43:57 AM »

I visited CP last year for the first time. Me and my friend stayed at Breakers and MaxAir was one of the hotel early access rides. We rode it three times in a row before the park opened and it is an amazing ride. I hope that everyone gets a chance to ride it or something like it. What a thrill and such great height.

WadeJ · « **Reply #23 on:** January 16, 2006, 10:10:26 AM »

I'm going to go with Bubba on this one. I'd go with KW if you have to decide on one or the other. Personally, I'd do both

If you have never been to KW, do that.

ChuckR · « **Reply #24 on:** January 16, 2006, 12:32:50 PM »

Well you see the thing is, this is just gonna be a break between the lonnggg drive between here and Wisconsin Dells. So, you got to think drive 9 hours and stop at CP for the day then drive the other 8 hours to Dells?? Or, drive to Kennywood(which takes 6 hours to get to) then take the 11 hour drive to Dells area. The only reason why I say CP is cause its splits up the long drive and MF is a good reason too.
