Nrthwnd Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 ^^ At your age, a decade's wait could be pretty good, too. (Took me till 2008 to see mainland Europe - at age 55!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaneH Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Since I probably won't leave the US for another ten years I'll just stick to my bucket list parks in the US. The top 5 SFMM- I really enjoyed Great Adventure and this park seems to be on the same level. Carowinds- I'll admit it...Fury is like 70% of the reason I want to go here. Dollywood-Looks like a fantastic park with a solid coaster lineup. LR looks really cool. I plan on going in 2017! Hersheypark- Some cool Intamins, a unique B&M invert, and a dueling GCI put this park on the list. Silver Dollar City- A unique lineup + a great atmosphere makes this a must visit. I plan on going in 2017! Others SFGAm Orlando Parks WoF Dorney Lagoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(for me anyway) As for my list, it's a short one. Cedar Point Six Flags Great America (probably heading out that way in 2017) Six Flags Magic Mountain Any park in Europe (more specifically, Alton Towers looks fantastic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollerManic Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 (edited) 1. Sweden/Germany trip: Kolmarden Liseberg Heide Park Oktoberfest Europa Park Phantasialand 2. Mediterranean trip: Portaventura (this trip would not have a theme-park focus) 3. Japan/South Korea trip: Fuji-Q Highland TDL / Tokyo DisneySea USJ Everland Lotte World 1. Knott's Scary Farm 2. Hollywood Horror Nights USO 3. Disneyland USA 4. Carowinds 5. Holiday World 6. Kentucky Kingdom 7. Six Flags New England I don't want anything to do with Dorney, but Demon Drop is high on my re-ride bucket list. I rode it at Cedar Point. Return to SDC and Dollywood, as I visited both before each received an RMC. I would like to go back to just Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom, because I love the sh*t out of ToT and the new three new lands total across the parks would justify it. I could even use it as an excuse to finally go to Fun Spot Orlando. Return to SFGADv to ride El Toro again. I really need rip-my-face-off airtime. I've been spoiled by El Toro and other coasters no long can provide for my airtime fix. Edited November 18, 2016 by RollerManic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I was very fortunate this past summer to ride lots of rides from parks that were previously on my theme park bucket list. SFGAdv (El Toro, Kingda Ka, Nitro) Hersheypark (Storm Runner, Skyrush) SFNE (Wicked Cyclone, Bizarro/Superman) Now with those out of the way (and all awesome parks!), I really need to make it out to Kings Dominion and Carowinds and finally experience I305 and Fury 325.

MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Studying in Tokyo next summer, so I'm hoping to get to Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea and Fuji Q. Really want to get to the latter when the revamped Dodonpa opens up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I have a new trio of parks I would really like to visit: Holiday World Dollywood Silver Dollar City If I could figure out a (reasonably priced) driving tour, I would be happy. But... Post by Nrthwnd » Wed Apr 22, 2015 5:53 pm Just figured out, that for my 700th coaster coming up in a couple of years or so, on my "Theme Park Bucket List" I want to hit that number in one (any one) of the parks in the USA, I have not been to, or not been to in some time. My other coaster count moments have all been in different countries other than the U.S. (Wales, China, Mexico to name a few) so I think it appropriate that this take place in The Land of Many Many Coasters, lol! And I did it! At Knott's on Ghostrider, Sept.11,2016! EeeeeeeHAH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I did it! At Knott's on Ghostrider, Sept.11,2016! EeeeeeeHAH! A worthy coaster indeed. As for SDC, Holiday World, and Dollywood, yes, you need to get to those. The drive is pretty easy. I-44 between Springfield and St. Louis, then I-64 from St. Louis to Santa Claus. It's around 5-6 hours, and there's not much but farmland in between, but that's the Midwest! Dollywood's a little farther out, but you'll go right past Kentucky Kingdom on the way there, so you'll want to stop. I-64 to Lexington, then I-75 to Knoxville is the way to go. Depends on how much you want you do. You seem to take things slower than I do, so maybe make that a trip over a couple of weeks. It's a lot like the trip I'm planning for next summer: Start in Springfield, Mo. Memphis, Tenn. Birmingham, Ala. Chattanooga, Tenn. Pigeon Forge, Tenn. Nashville, Tenn. Bowling Green, Ky. Louisville, Ky. Santa Claus, In. Back to Springfield, Mo. Hope that helps for route planning. Edited December 1, 2016 by ytterbiumanalyst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 ^ Yikes that's a lot! Honestly, it's not really being slower of me, but just focusing on fewer parks in one trip. Remember, I have already done a few parks around the USA, including Kings Island, Worlds of Fun, Valleyfair (the year it opened ha!) etc....and Astroworld too, in 1992! But, I just missed these ones, and a few others I'm still interested in getting to visit. On the other hand, THANKS for all the Touring Info! I must remind myself to "bookmark" this page...because...later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) I thought it would be nice to also (eventually) get to all of those parks in the Morey's Piers' Collection. Known about these for years and years. Of course, then it would be a massive trip all over the NE, etc. Also neat to note, that most of my Bucket List Parks are pretty much all in the USA! A bit easier on the flight wallet, heh. I hope, future wise. Thank You for the Awesome Pic, Canobie Coaster!

Edgar Allan Pooh Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Cedar Point for sure, as well as either of the Busch Gardens and Six Flags Great Adventure. As I live in the western US, I haven't been to many parks on the East Coast. And when (if?) it opens, Skyplex in Orlando. I'd also love to revisit Disney World. And while I'm at it, since I've never been to any of the Orlando parks other than Disney World, I'd also love to visit those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
