In our area, Kings Dominion and Dorney are both participating. This is a Cedar Fair chain event taking place nationwide and even at Canada's Wonderland. Hear that Canada?

I'm seriously considering doing the Dorney event. The marathon is scheduled for Steel Force and considering how it's running lately, it shouldn't be too hard to endure the whole day on the ride, other than boredom settling in of course.

If only it were Possessed....

Matt if you go maybe I will join.

[jimmybjammin]

If it wasn't a weekday I'd join for Steel Force.

[AV Matt]

Yeah, that's what's holding me back too. I don't have vacation time to use for this. :-/

[coastersue]

Same here.

[AV Matt]

I bet you'd do it for Possessed.

[coastersue]

No, actually I wouldn't even take off for Possessed.  My vacation time is more valuable for places that I wouldn't get to otherwise.

I'm taking my last 2 days off to go to KI's halloween haunt this last weekend in Oct. I'm out of days for 2010.

[AV Matt]

^I thought you weren't going anywhere this year?

[coastersue]

Not sure if you're asking me or jimmybjamming?  As for me, I am using my time, but just not during the typical summer months which is odd.  We did a week in CA back in March, have a 6 day trip in late September (honeymoon cabin in the Smokies, Dollywood, Carowinds, and Kings Dominion, and probably a couple days to FL in December.
