Let's here them. Where are you going and what are going to do?
My last reservation was made for our Summer Odyssey last night
7 days in DC to start things off. My Brother and his family will do the days in DC with us. We got a Congressional tour booked and our White House tour requests in. Our Mt. Vernon Cruise booked and so on.
After DC, they head home and we drive to Lewes, stopping at Six Flags America for a quick coaster credit visit (free with out Gold Passes)taking in Annapolis along the way, visit Dogfish Head Brewery and take the ferry across to Wildwood where we'll spend two nights at the Starlux at Morey's Pier. After a night and full day at Wildwood, we take the earliest Ferry to cross back over and head to Norfolk/Virginia Beach, we may stop along the way at Ocean City or Assateague National Seashore for a cursory glance and not doing them justice as we head for Nauticus in Norfork and a cruise of the Naval Yard for that afternoon. That evening will be spent at Virginia Beach.
We get up the next morning and head to Newport News after I visit the Waterfowling museum along the boardwalk in VB. We'll hit up Mariner's Museum and visit the remains of the USS Monitor. We'll eat lunch and then head to Yorktown for the Battlefield and the Museum for the remained of the afternoon. We'll end it by getting to our accommodations in Williamsburg for the next 4 nights. One day will be spent at Busch Gardens, another at Colonial Williamsburg in the Morning with a Water Country USA visit in the afternoon before returning to Colonial Williamsburg to see it in the evening for supper. One day I'll be fleshing out all there is at Jamestowne.
After Williamsburg we head out for Richmond early. There, we'll stop at the White House of the Confederacy and Museum and then Tredegar Iron Works. Once do with those and some lunch we'll head to Appomattox Courthouse and visit the surrender site and museum there. We'll end the day at Lynchburg VA. Next morning g we head to Monticello and spend 3 hours, I'm thinking I might splurge for the private tour to maximize our time. We'll then head to Gettysburg with a quick stop at Harpers Ferry and finish the afternoon and late afternoon there. Then we'll head to Hershey and the kids an I will hit the Preview Night at Hershey Park before spending the next day there. The wifewill take in some Spa stuff and/or visit some Amish Country stuff while the Kids and I play the day away. The next morning we're off to Valley Forge and then Philly for three days and 2 nights where we'll spend a late aternoon at Six flags Great America and I get to compare El Toro with Outlaw Run. 8). The last day of the trip will be spent in Baltimore with a stop at Harve de Grace Decoy Museum before a late flight back to Memphis.
Whew, about two1/2 weeks, ambitious for sure but in a way I'm building upon last year's trip and testing out our limits to get feel for how long I can plan for Europe in 2018 or 2019. I get a feeling I'll wear out our companion passes for Southwest in 2018 doing lots of three and four day getaways.

Our trip is over! Spent 9 days in Maui snorkeling and scuba diving (son). We went up to Haleakala Crater before sunrise for the view, snorkeled Molokini with Maui Snorkel Charters, took a helicopter tour of W. Maui and Molokai, attended a luau on the beach, drove through the lava fields...spent the rest of the time at the beach, snorkeling various locations, pool time, beach time, watching whales, etc. It was beyond awesome!

This will be a off year for SDC for our family. Saving up our vacation dollars for a different trip. We talked about doing the Disney thing (again) but they kids wanted a different adventure (as did I).
I just booked a cruise for the family for October. Got a great deal on a family suite. Sailing out of Galveston and touring the western Caribbean for 7 days. Wife and I took non-kids getaway cruise last year and thought they would love it. Thinking about taking a day for Six Flags Dallas on the drive down and/or the Galveston pier.
Also planning a get away with the wife this summer. Probably NYC to catch a broadway show she wants to see. I've go a airline voucher and miles that will probably make that trip pretty affordable.
Plus I still have some work trips in pending for this year. I'll probably be going to FL (just north of Tampa/Busch Gardens), Allentown (dorney and maybe SFGA), South Carolina (Carawinds) this year. Hoping and praying I can carve out a 1/2 day during one of these visit to get some coasters in. I literally drive by Dorney and Busch Gardens multiple times last year without having any time to go.
-
All of the above trips sound great! Hubs and I are hoping to visit our son in D.C. a couple times this year, also. He wants to drive to tour Civil War battlefields; while, I don't mind that all, I'd rather fly to get there quicker!
-
Tony and I will bruising out of mobile on November 4th. We will see ruins in Merida and have a beach day in Cozumel. Other than that, sdc, white water, and Wisconsin like always! Late 2018 or early 2019 will see us visiting Costa Rica so we are saving for that.
-
We will be going to Colorado to ride quads in the mountains, for vacation, around September or October for a week.
We also usually make a weekend trip to Belleville Kansas in August. They have their annual Free Fair. Consists of a lot of farming - 4H happenings going on. Fair type atmosphere, & of course 4 cyl midget sprint car racing Saturday night on a big ole egg shaped dirt racetrack.

Disney, Royal Carribean or Carnival?
Carnival is moving it's new ship to Galveston from Miami this fall, making Galveston a great place to cruise from if you have kids as the RC ship has quite the waterslides at sea as well.
If you are on the newer Carnival boat please give us a review.

I wished I could have keep a trip that was correct cronologically but it wasn't in the cards. Out flight is at 6:30am to BWI via Southwest , so we'll(barring delays)be getting out of the airport and 10:30ish. Our first stop is Ft. McHenry, then we'llnhit Geppi's Entertainment Museum, eat lunch at the Inner Harbor and hit the Flag House. Then we'll make tracks south to Manasses and hit the Air and Space museum at Dulles before heading to the hotel. A jam packed first day for sure but we should be at the hotel by 8:30pm.
I'm still trying to fit an Antietam visit in. That would cover Manassas, Antietam, Gettysburg, Harper's Ferry, Richmond and Appomattox as major Civil War spots on this trip as well as seeing the remains of the Monitor.
I'm a big CW buff and this has me giddy. I've always wanted to see a Mack Water battle ride themed to iron clads.

Got Yellowstone penciled in for next summer and it'll have a rafting day.
Tony and I will bruising out of mobile on November 4th. We will see ruins in Merida and have a beach day in Cozumel. Other than that, sdc, white water, and Wisconsin like always! Late 2018 or early 2019 will see us visiting Costa Rica so we are saving for that.
We have pushed my big planned Euro trip to 2019. We'll stay domestic in 2020 and 2021 it's either South America or Asia. I have a coworker for Peru originally from Arequipa. He worked as a tour guide back in his University days down there and we have worked quite the little Machu Picchu, Lake Titticaca, Iguazu Falls, Galapagos Islands itenerary up using folks he knows for the most part and the wife seems to favor this over Asia. But...I'm going to Asia within 6 years.
-
We're heading to KC for a couple of days at Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun. Haven't been there before so it'll be new to us.
We have hopes of going to California and Disneyland at the end of July/ first part of August, but we'll see if it happens or not. A lot of it is going to be dependent on how much side income we can earn before then, and if it will be enough to cover the costs of the trip. If we can't make that, then we'll go somewhere else that won't cost as much.
-
Thinking about returning to Moscow. Was there in 2013 and did not get out of the city much. I returned to Europe last year but skipped Russia. So the thought is Moscow, then on to St Petersburg. Then on to the Czech Republic and Poland. I do not plan ahead to much and like to impulse travel. I find it is to stressful to have a tight schedule to keep. It is way more fun to just be impulsive. But, I am also thinking about a trip to Norway and Finland and Sweden this winter to see the northern lights. That has always been on the bucket list.
-
I will make several trips to Denver this summer, I go and out Road bikes with my buddy. We ride in the foothills and Mountain passes.. always looking for a new place to stop for a beverage..
tried to add a pic, but it wont upload.. "too large"? LOL. i dont know how to resize..

We are taking RC - Liberty: Same ship we took last year with some new ports to explore.

Just got back from a trip to the DFW area. Went to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in FW (free tour of 1 of the 2 places in the US where money is printed). Also went to the Bush Presidential Center at SMU and spent 4 hours there. Had the special exhibit of the Wounded Warrior paintings. If you go, make sure you download the app for the free audio tours and other info.
Went down to Sundance Square in FW and toured the Sid Richardson Museum of Western Art (also free). We visited the Stockyards area on a previous trip so didn't repeat that. Some of the museums we wanted to visit were closed on Monday so we will catch those on another trip.
Lesson learned -- will not go back for a visit during spring break.

I'm still trying to figure things out this year, but I'm going to try to make it out to Pennsylvania for the legendary Knoebel's Grove and Hersheypark. I will also do road trips to Adventureland in Iowa, Worlds of Fun, and the two Texas panhandle parks for the ACE event in June. Plus SFOT for the Lone Star Coasterthon.

I so wanted to include Knoebels, but it'll have to wait. We'll skip over King' Dominion as well.

ZDT thinks it needs to be closed except on the weekends and I'll be back up in DFW before it even thinks about opening on my Birthday. I was just a little annoyed by that but whatever - one missed credit won't kill me.
Adventure Pointe seems like another Land of Oz or Xandu project to me.

Was wondering about those two.

Hmm? Does going to Colorado to ride my Harley in the foothills and mountains count?

Why not, go by Glenwood and ride the old Celebration City coaster.

We are cruising in Oct as well. Carnival Breeze 15-22nd. We try to cruise every other year.
-
so our plans have changed quite a bit due to schedules, expenses and other things. No west coast swing or Disneyland. :-(
However, it does mean we're adding on a couple of other trips instead to make up for it. So now we're looking at:
End of May- Dallas area, including Six Flags over Texas, Medieval Times, and the Dallas Zoo. We haven't been to the area in over 20 years. It's actually where my daughter was born, so it'll be fun to finally let her see her birthplace.
Mid-July- Kansas City and Worlds of Fun/ Oceans of Fun for 2 days staying in the village. That part hasn't changed, with my neice visiting. It's all paid for already.
End of July/ first part of August?- dates still have to be determined and final locations, but looks right now like we may be going to Holiday World for a couple of days, the stopping in St. Louis for 3 to possibly visit the zoo, science museum, and Six Flags.

Got a promotional email from Hershey Park today, all summer one day tickets are the price of a child's ticket, basically 50 bucks per person and they still get the 21/2 hr sneak preview if you buy online by 5-31. Since that'll be a Wed hope to get some serious coaster time in.
A trip that just popped up is a quick trip to the Metroplex last weekend of May. That'll be U2 at ATT on Friday, Six Flags on Sat and the whole reason for the trip, picking up a a piece of furnitureon Sun the wife has been wanting. She searches Craigslist from coast to coast looking for it popped up in the metroplex. The boy wants to hit up the Lego Discovery Center, too.

We'll fly into Tampa on Sat from Memphis,, hit Busch Gardens, drive on to Orlando for two days at Universal and Cabana Bay and take in Volcano Bay. After that, Discovery Cove day and a Sea World day with Fun Spots one night and Avatar at night at Animal Kingdom on the other. (I just want to ride Everest at night), drive to Canaveral and catch the boat. When we get back a day at Nasa on Monday and an early flight back Tuesday morning to Memphis and a drive back to Fayetteville.
Looking 99% a Rockies trip for late summer 2018.
Fly to Denver via Tulsa, Badlands, Rushmore, Devil's Tower,Little Big Horn, Pompey's Pillar, Cody Wyoming, Yellowstone, Tetons/Jackson Hole, Snake River float, Dinosaur National Monument, Glenwood Springs/Canyon Adventure Park, Moab/Arches, Silverton/Durango, Great Sand Dunes, Colorado Springs/Pikes Peak/Garden of the Gods/Great Wolf Lodge, Denver/Elitch/Lake Side, fly back to Tulsa.

How was Boardwalk running at Kemah?
-
Like crap. I've yet to ride a GG woodie that ages well.

Like crap. I've yet to ride a GG woodie that ages well.
I've only rode them when they're relatively new. Just like the new one going up at Fun Spot in Kissimmee. I'll hit it in spring 2018 and we loved Switchback last summer.
I'm looking forward to the giving the new GCI at BGW a workout very soon. I really like the look of that new compact woodie they are building in Chengdu. Which I may actually ride in a couple of years.
Is Iron Shark at Pleasure Pier holding up? Been two years now since I hit that one up.
-
Yeah Iron Shark is fine. It doesn't suffer from OTSR so that alone is a plus
-
I had a couple good rides on the Bullet back in March. It wasn't smooth per se, and I was sitting in the front, but it was super fun. It's actually probably my favorite coaster right now. Both Kemah and the Pleasure Pier really surprised me with their great selections of rides. Plus I'm getting to the point that I enjoy the whole spectacle of eating somewhere nice before/after a park trip, so the seafood at both locations was really nice too.
-
Just got back from a week in Florida. It wasn't strictly a vacation but we did manage to squeeze some fun things in. The one day we had completely free was dedicated to going to the Universal Orlando resort. It was not planned to go there because of the obvious reason of only having one day. However, we bit the bullet and paid for it and we are so glad we did.
We got to Islands of Adventure right at opening and headed straight for Hogsmeade. I'm a huge Harry Potter nerd and both of the Harry Potter areas won me over big time. The theming is amazing and the atmosphere is incredible. I had been to Hogsmeade in 2011, but I had not been to the Diagon Alley section in the original park. The Harry Potter areas of the resort clearly outshine the other areas of the property. Since Diagon Alley was not open when I had been there in 2011, I also got to experience the Hogwarts Express for the first time. WOW. Such an amazing attraction and something so unique that I don't think any other theme park in America can match it. We rode it both ways in order to experience both versions of the ride.
I won't do a play by play trip report unless someone wants more details. But, I will say we were amazed at how light the crowds were. I guess it was the week before Memorial Day weekend, however the resort was still opening Volcano Bay just three days after we were there. We weren't complaining at the light crowds though. Without an express pass to skip the lines, we were still able to ride everything in BOTH parks, eat a sit down lunch in Hogsmeade, watch the parade at Universal (which was crap), and we still left an hour before the parks closed. The new Jimmy Fallon ride which just recently opened is a lot of fun. However, it is another simulator which Universal catches a lot of flak for. The "virtual line" is a cool concept, and one they are implementing in the new waterpark.
After our long day at the park (I had over 22,000 steps according to my Fitbit), we ate at the new Toothsome Chocolate Emporium at the CityWalk. Such a cool restaurant thematically, and the food (not just the desserts) was also really great. I would recommend it to anyone...prices are what you'd expect from a restaurant in that location, the signature shakes are $12 but do come in a souvenir plastic cup.
My family is planning on making a return trip to Orlando in a few years once Disney opens Star Wars Land. Universal might just have to be added onto that trip as well.

Mud Island in Memphis screams for a combination of these two along with a revamped museum and a new Aquarium but the Starbucks set want yurts.

Well, Our tour of the Capitol was on Comey Circus day. That hearing was in the Hart Office Building where we were at. It was directly 1 floor above us. We were sitting g in the Sentertainment Gallery when Shumer's gave his take. We ate at We the Pizza and 5his was like a super bowl with all tvs on this. The security was insane.
The weather was perfect today and looks to be tommorrow as well and then it hits middle 90's come the weekend.

Very cool. good luck with the rest of the trip!.. remember...... the clowns are dangerous.! :o
-
Well, Washington is in the books and so is Wildwood Beach. We have done Six Flags America and the Piers.
Zoom Plume and Ghost Ship was closed at the piers but all.the coaster were open. Six Flags America needs the National Arbor Day folk to go plant trees, the place is bare. I'll give in depth reports later. The rain has caught up with us at Williamsburg, the next few days will be playing dodge ball.with showers and activities.
I asked about the woody concept at Wildwood that would span two piers, the main hold up, the two piers are.actually in two different towns and thus the issue with different codes.
The Vekoma invert that got new tracks and cars is still a Vekoma invert but I like the new Vekoma restraints, major improvement.
The wife and I plan on revising Cape May as a adult only Vaca in the future.
Anyway, I loved seeing the f18s flying around like flies over a picnic table at Virginia Beach.
4 carriers at Port today
Eisenhower, Washington , soon to be commissioned Ford and the Abe Lincoln. Two nuke subs at Port as well
-
@ Chittlins... that is quite a trip you are on. Looks like a great choice of places...

Anyone that wants to see tons of pictures, pm me and I'll give you my info to friend me on facebook.
I'm at Busch Gardens right now and just got off Verbolten, the drop track part rocks, the ride is smooth as well as the dark section, SDC so needs a similar type ride. It has air, launches, dark sections and the drop.
It's food and wine but this spoke to me
-
Also, this park is incredibly beatiful. No fake flowers anywhere.
-
I hope you got the chance to ride Verbolten several times. There are 3 different versions of effects in the show building. My favorite was the wolves but the storm was cool too
-
Rode Verbolten many times, it's just fun. And yes on multiple cars. For those that don't know, they load two trains at once but they leave the station staggered. The first train seems to flow through the various elements better than the second.
Also had to pleasure to marathon Apollo's Chariot on the back row from 9 to 10 tonite
Tempesto is ok, the gimmick is good for a couple of rides and then move on and never come back.
Invader is nice but not memorable.
Griffin is solid
-
*InvadR
No Alpengeist or Loch Ness Monster?
I hope the "inappropriate level of wetness" didn't stop you from riding Escape from Pompeii. That's one of the best themed shoot the chutes out there. The fire effects inside are amazing. DarKastle is fun too though weird.

We got there at 5:30, it was extra time.and not the planned full day. It's going to be 93 tommorrow, I will have no issues getting wet. I own plenty of quick dry gear. We plan on Jamestown today and 3to 4 hrs at Water County and another quick couple of hrs at BG. The Food and Wine Fest days are only Fri, Sat, and Sun. No weekdays :(
I can not stress how cool the Mariner's Museum is in Newport News.

Ghost Ship at Morey's was closed at Morwy's for the two days we were there. This was my first rodeo with new Vekoma restraints on the rebuilt invert. It's still a Vekoma Invert but the new restraints are a major improvement IMO.
The old track is still along the pier on the sand.
I was told they still have plans for the two pier woody but the piers are actually in different towns hence bureaucratic malaise. Take it for what it's worth. I'll post an opinion piece on my park visit soon but after three solid weeks on the road, I'm a bit wary.
After Kingda Ka, I'm glad I did it, twice actually but in no hurry to it again and El Toro is solid but I don't get the hype and that after two trips in the front and two in the back. The DD and I could ride Nitro all day long and we did for a 11/2hrs.
I'm still icing the bruise on my left shoulder from the restraints on the s&S freespin and Great Adventure's arrow mine train needs put down.
The best ride ops, Busch Gardens, friendly, interactive with their riders , the most German like..... Hersheys. No personality at all, very stoic and all business, everything was prerecorded commands, ect, ect, ect. And they stacked as bad as the Six Flags Parks. Everything said about SkyRush is true. The restraints and getting stapled in with the pain inflicted on your thighs makes a potential epic ride into a painful one.

I've set some of my Facebook posts to public,
This should get anyone interested there

I find Nitro to be extremely ordinary. I guess mainly because it's the typical B&M hypercoaster. Pretty sure the layout has been cloned or some are similar to it.

Different stokes for different folks. We loved all the B&M hyper we rodethe . We found the most of the GCI coasters ordinary. My kids really, really liked Verbolten and Laff Track. I have little use for the standup B&M and, the six flags flying B&Ms are ok. I would have like the S&S free spin clones SF parks are getting but that restraint and my shoulders don't get along very well.

I take it that if you are doing Camden Yards you may take in Geppi's as well. It was great if you are big into comic books and such. Some Dogpatch connected stuff in there with Shmoo and Al Capp stuff.
We could have hit up another Atlantic Ocean Pier and got within 15 minutes of a couple of the ones you listed that place in Jersey with the woodie that's mainly Waterpark was closed during the week as school was still in session. In fact, some schools up there were still in session last week.
Clementon Park in Jersey has the S&S woodie
-
Camden Park is in WV and is just a stop to get out of the car for a few hours.
Clementon is not worth the $45 it would cost to just ride Hellcat.
-
When we got back to Memphis, my Brother was at a Make a Wish fundraiser. He stopped by to share that he won(cough, bought, cough) a Private Tour and Tasting at Jack Daniel's Distillery in Lynchburg. His company also gets a cask of single barrel Jack bottled with the company name on the label and they make the top of the barrel a plaque. So, we are trying to arrange a trip in October to coincide with the Country Living Fair at Stone Mountain. So me being me, I'm trying to work in Lake Winnie and Six Flags Georgia. His adventures to Make a Wish, results in suites at Cardinals games, weekend hunts at famous duck clubs, ect, ect, ect. I happily say yes to the invitations. 8)

Thanks. I'll be honest, the reason I started doing them back 20 years ago was so I could "show" instead of just "tell" my friends and family what I did that summer. Now I use it as a way to remember what the heck I did a few years back. I'll be the first to admit my memory is not what it used to be. lol.

Well depending on if you are a tea toddler or not, there are some great places along the River Walk in San Antonio. My personal favorite is Pat O'brien's which has awesome Hurricanes and (my favorite) Fuzzy Leprachaun's. If you are less adventurous there is a Hard Rock Cafe there as well. Coyote Ugly is a great place for beer - and yes they dance to "Devil Went Down to Georgia" on the bar like in the movie. The mexican cantinas on the River Walk are hit and miss - you might like them, but I'm a mexican food snob. I've been told there are a couple of really good steak houses along the River Walk as well, but I didn't get a chance to try them out.
Arlington is a little bit tougher. I've had decent luck at the Chinese Buffet across the highway from the park - I forget the name. There is a lot of chain restaurants in the area as well. Much more "touristy-sterile" in that area and I blame the sports parks.

Could this be the "worst Six Flags park in the country"? Well since La Ronde is in Canada (and therefore out of the running) it very well could be

Find a Pappadeaux's in the Arlington area.
While transiting I-35, check out Jack Allen's in the Austin area.
The chicken fried NY Strip, good gawd.

^^LOL, your photos and your reaction to the park say two different things to me. The park always looks nice to me, I don't know why it gets such a bad rap. I'm sure it has the typical crappy SF operations and I know about the weird layout, but the ride collection looks solid. Anyplace that has a 100 year old wooden coaster and an Intamin hyper is on my get-to list. I hope to check it out in the next couple of years.
I'm actually a week behind you going to Dorney, Hershey, and Knoebel's. REALLY looking forward to finally checking out Knoebels and Hershey.

He is #2 on the "went to SF America" list this summer. I found the park clean and totally lacking in shade. In fact the landscaping is better kept than Great Adventure. Lots of weeds at Great Adventure but they have trees that provide shade. I found the Stand Up as atrocious and the one at Great Adventure slightly smoother and I have master on bracing my head for the elements coming up with OTSRs to minimize the headache facror. I agree that may be the worse Vekoma I have had the misfortune to ride but Great Adventure's old arrow mine train is horrible as well.
You'll find Hershey as sprawling. It takes a while to Navagate the place . I'll tell you now, everything they say about the thigh crush on SkyRush is true. And... they make sure you are stapled in. I liked it but I'm in no hurry to get back. I'd take a Laff Trakk indoor spinner anyday. It's just good fun and with AC! I liked the dueling woodie. My train won all 4 times as I did front and back rides on each side. The Hyper is ok and the spaghetti bowl coaster isn't horrible just like the one in San Antonio. The Waterpark is ok.

Well... I do have a tendency to make even the worst park look good with my photos. ;D
I personally think SFA gets a bad rap because there is nothing memorable about it. Every coaster there is a clone or there is a better version of it somewhere else. It was a ghost town when I went. I was the ONLY person on the train for Roar, Joker's Jinx and Superman. But like I said in my report - at least it's not La Ronde.

So apparently there is a limit to how much you are allowed to snap your flyer at Knoebels and yes I found it. I guess it was a good thing I had a good flight as it was my only one for the evening.
Wait a minute. Am I reading this right? You actually got kicked off of the flyers at Knoebels for snapping? I didn't know that was possible. What happened? *shocked*

Well first you must know that I am a really really good snapper on flyers. I can snap even the worst flyers out there so when it comes to Knoebels' flyers (which even a blind person could snap) ... well I had the entire ride rocking. Sad part was, I wasn't even trying that hard to snap my tub. The operator actually slowed down the ride and yelled at me before cranking it back up again. I tried to behave then ... but I'm not good at behaving. After the ride ended he came over and told me I was done for the night on the Flyers.
Definitely a first. I've never heard of that happening before and I wear it like a badge of honor 8)

I so wanted to go to Knoebels but just couldn't fit it in.
Wanting to get to within the next couple of years, try to hit up the baseball hall of fame as part of it along with one the water park resorts in the Poconos.

It should be mandatory that all Vekomas with OTSRs should be replaced by the new vests.

^You should really get out more.
I'm trying. I think I've worked at school this whole summer outside of 3 weeks so far. I've got Camps the next two weeks then 1 week off before inservice starts. We get kid on August 15 this year. I swear it keeps getting earlier each year

I got to attend Hersheypark the summer that Fahrenheit was brand new. I absolutely loved the park and the town of Hershey. The park had such a great charm I wasn't expecting before attending. I would love to go back.

Well, I was there when they made it official that they were expanding the park on the old golf course. So, it was a big news item on the local TV news. Anywho, I really liked the park, a bit disjointed with how they placed the water park aspects but I'lll let them them get the new master plan out and see what they add.
I sew them really using their branding more like you have seen with the Reeces dark ride and the towers. A Twizzlers coaster?

Im waiting in line for flying turns at Knoebels right now. This place is everythin I hoped it would be. Its already probably my second favorite place on earth after SDC. Ill have to gush more about it when im at a keyboard, lol.
Dorney was surprisingly good as well yesterday. They have so much history that has been thrown away, but there are a few historical rides there and Talon is fantastic.

I just got back from South Carolina a couple weeks ago. We were helping my sister and her husband move to Columbia. We stayed for a week and called it "vacation" so we weren't driving 12 hours one way just to drop off furniture.
My husband and I are going to Six Flags Great America October 13-14 for our anniversary. He used to live in Gary, IN and that was the Six Flags he grew up with. He's excited for me to see it and he hasn't been in YEARS.
My sister and I are tentatively planning to meet in Nashville sometime in November. Nashville is pretty much right between where I live and where she now lives.

I'm starting to get vacationitis....scheduled to shove off our cruise in 11 days!!!

I had previously mentioned before that I would be going to Six Flags Great America. We got back around 12:30 this morning.
It was a lot of fun! We rode almost all of the roller coasters and this is a perfect place for anyone who loves roller coasters! I was very impressed by almost all of them.
It was cold outside but at least it wasn't raining like the day before. We didn't have to stand in lines for very long all morning. But when we came back after getting lunch, it was packed!
We rode Superman Ultimate Flight. On that ride, you sit in the seat then it rotates so you're facing the ground and you ride the ride like how Superman flies. We were about to come back into the station and were in the holding area where you wait for the car in front of you to leave. We hear an announcement about "technical difficulties." We had to wait for almost 10 minutes, staring at the floor, until they got the ride up and running again. We got a free Flash Pass because of it, which got us on Goliath without having to wait the 85 minutes that the sign said it would take!
Goliath is definitely my favorite ride there. Its made by the same company as Outlaw Run and has the wooden structure with metal tracks. I do like Outlaw Run more though... We needed to start heading home after Goliath. We saw some of the Fright Fest parade before leaving but there was no way to really watch it because the crowd was insane.
I have all of the pictures up on my Facebook page. If you want to see them, you can add me as a friend:

(My husband doesn't want the album made public. He has some people he'd rather not associate with through Facebook anymore... It's a long story.)

Well....we completed our long-anticipated family cruise last week. We had a blast in the western Caribbean even with some poor weather (at least it wasn't hurricanes).
I won't bore you with a full trip report but did want to call it to this amusement park group an amazing water park that we got to visit at Costa Maya Mexico called Lost Maya Kingdom Adventure Park https://maya-park.com/
Easily the most thrilling and most fun water park I've ever experienced. Place is amazing....great themes and designs and the rides don't hold anything back.
The park is located right next to the cruise ship port and is within 5 minute tram ride from the dock. It features a 24 story Maya Pyramid as a centerpiece that can been seen through the park and from the cruise ships at the dock. Looks like both the park and the dock/shops where developed specifically the cater to the cruise ship visitors. The park is basically a combination Zipline center and water park and you can but tixs for each one or both. It really is built in the middle of a jungle. The paths around the park are raised and create an amazing atmosphere.
On the day we went there where only two ships in town and rain in the forecast all day so it was a relatively slow day and it felt like we had most of the park to ourselves!!!...maybe just a few hundred people there all morning. After finding very reasonably priced lockers within the pyramid 'ruins' the family jumped in a very long and amazingly themed lazy river that ran around and through the pyramid. River even had a long section full of dry ice fog that created a 'white out' effect....very cool and creepy.
My oldest two and I then headed back to the pyramid and suited up to do the ziplines. They had 3 courses of lines including a zip roller coaster which we tried first. All the courses started out of different levels in the pyramid. The pyramid has two ELEVATORS!!!! you take to get to the start points. The coaster was a slow curvy helix filled descent which ended with a splash down in a pool. It was actually probably the scariest zip course because I really got nervous making those turns just hanging from a rope. The other two courses had multiple ziplines onto various towers set around the park. The longer of the courses took about 20mins to complete and had 8-10 very high and long rides. The 'medium' one had 3-4 rides and a couple of rope bridges between the towers. All of them had a final splash down ride to end them.
Park had a huge kids play structure that my two youngest play at for hours. 3-4 slides on the structure and a nearby 'relax pool' that the played in too. With some rain coming in...my oldest and I headed back to the pyramid structure to do the water slides. Wow...the most intense slide structures I've even been on. There are around a dozen slides through out the pyramid. Levels 12, 18, and 24. Did I mention the Elevator!!! You can take the stairs or the elevator which has the slides listed out by level. The red tube slide we started with was the fastest I've ever been on....it whipped you through the tube and guaranteed a huge wipeout at the end. So much fun. The mat racers off of level 18 where intense....you slide on your belly face first into complete darkness....twist around not seeing what is coming...then burst out into daylight in time to dive down some more....crazy. After sampling about half the slides a few times it started to thunderstorm....not that the workers seemed to care. We got a few more rides in before the lightning really started to worry me and the wife was ready to go. Wish the weather was better...we really packed in a lot of action in just a few hours....would have been great to enjoy the attractions longer.
Few other notes:
Park was completely feed by ocean water - all pool and slides where salt water - first for me
All rides where equipped with RFID scanners for wrist bands (though they didn't give us any) Park had cameras setup everywhere taking pic and had scanners to try to identify who was there. During our exit through the gift shop process - they had to manually find our pics to try to sell
Did I mention the elevators - lol - sure beats hitting the stairs for every ride - really cool setup - had the lockers and zipline equipment at the base of the pyramid - zip liners could just jump on an elevator after getting geared up and pick a course to start - then they ended back by the pyramid where they rechecked your gear and you could just jump on the elevator to start another course - water slider used the same elevators
Also had an upcharge freefall attraction within the center of the pyramid. 20 story drop with 5 seconds of freefall was advertised....you just walk off a plank-like overhang in the center of the pyramid attached to a cord on your back (harness) that would activate to catch you on the way down.

It bet an attraction exactly like that would do huge business in Branson....even at a high price point $89-$99 a tix to do it all. Add a wave pool and maybe a secondary kid area and it easily becomes the best water park in town by a long shot. Even if just built as is like in Mexico it would be a perfect secondary weekend attraction to SDC.

We are taking an sdc beak next year and putting our season pass money toward a trip to Disney right after thanksgiving 2018. We will get passes again in 2019.

Thanks for the update/pics Swoosh
WOF looks pretty good....they really went a lot farther than I thought for the event....I'm surprised by the number of shows and overall investment in the decor. 12 days of Christmas is clever and the Snoopy show looks like a lot of fun.
That being said.....only one thrill ride open? Was that due to weather or will that be normal? Upcharge to feed the animals? Ice Skate? $14 cookies? Is the park entry tickets the same price as the regular season? Those are all red flags for me.....Guess we will just have to wait and see how the public response to the setup.

Rides Open:
Prowler
Spinning Dragons
Mustang Runner
Falcon’s Flight
Bamboozler
Cyclone Sam’s
Autobahn
Fjord Fjairlane
Le Carrousel
Scandia Scrambler
Flying Dutchman
Le Taxi Tour
WOF Railroad
(and several rides in Planet Snoopy)
I’m a little curious why Sea Dragon, Patriot, Skyliner, Boomerang, Detonator and Timber Wolf are closed since those sections of the park are open. Maybe next year as the park has been getting complaints about lack of rides open.

Well, I made the final payment on the Spring Break 3 Day Disney Cruise. We will find out if cruising is our cup of team
Two adjoining rooms. 5020 and 5022. Split floor plans. A room for DW and I and one for the Kids and my Mom. There's an actual youtube of these rooms
https://youtu.be/xIxM5Fh5v10
So my revised plans for SB 2018
My crew is flying down on the 17th from Memphis and will be be out of MCO by 2pm if everything goes smoothly.
I'm in a bit of a pickle, we got Discovery Cove Day Passes during SeaWorld's Black Friday promotion for a great price and they even include Busch Gardens without having to add it on so I'm trying to figure out a way to get over there. This eats into our Universal time, though. We were going to just hand out at CB, Bowl, hit up City Walk, ect.
We are at Cabana Bay for the first three nights. I was thinking of getting ro Cabana Bay try to check in ASAP and then head to Tampa. BG is open to 10pm. That would give us about 5 hrs to cover the major rides. I can easily see my wife staying at Cabana Bay and chilling while the Kids and I Go, Go, Go.
Sunday and Monday would either be spent at Uni/IOA or Volcano Bay and that Combination. The day we are at Uni/IOA without Volcano Bay will be a fast pass must considering the SB crowds after we book it to Potter during early hours.
We check out of CB on Tues and we will hit Discovery Cove. The kids have a dolphin swim. We'll stay till around Lunch and then head to Aquatica. I figure this is when we lose DW for the day. We transition to the timeshare we used points to stay at.(3 br for 3 nights for 28,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards, not bad, 3rd best Timeshare according to Tripadvisor)
Wenesday we do SeaWorld, pick up Mom at MCO and after we get her to the room, the kids and I will hit the two Fun Spots
Thursday is planned for Animal Kingdom to cover the new stuff (Flight of Passage, Nighttime Safari, Rivers of Light)
and ride Everest numerous times and at night!!!!!!!!!!!
Friday, we sleep in a bit or head out early and squeeze in Kennedy before lunch at Dixie Crossroads in Titusville and then over to Port Canaveral for the 3 Day on Disney Dream.
Sat is Nassau Port day, we'll get off, hit up a few of the main sights, I'll take in some suds at Pirate Republic and be back on board by 2pm to take in more of the ship quite frankly since there's no day at sea.
Sun is Castaway Cay
Monday and tn we are back at Canaveral. We'll head to Disney Wilderness Lodge where we'll stay the night and head over to WDW and endure the crowd. We'll hit our favorites with fast passes and go from there, we may even leave to Epcot as we missed Illuminations last trip but Disney now has a new nighttime show as well. It will be up to Mom.
Tuesday, we check in all of our luggage at Wilderness Lodge so we don't have to deal with it at the airport and go to Epcot and check out the Flower and Garden topiaries and get in the new Soarin'. Stay till around 1:30 and head to the airport for the flight home.
If Disney offers us the timeshare thingy where they give out the gift card and 6 fastpasses. We may switchange Epcot to Monday after the presentarion and use the 6 FPs on Disney World on Tues.

DW wants to kill the Yellowstone Trip. After all the trouble I went through to book rooms at Canyon Lodge and Old Faithful Inn ::)
She wants me to bank most of those two weeks for Europe 2019 aND since we both have Companion passes on Southwest this year, take a few extended weekends.
Chicago, Vegas, Denver, and LA to to Halloween and Universal and Knotts Berry for my son's birthday. I can get the Fridays off and make up the time without using Vacation.
We have a Wyndham voucher from our stay at Kingsgate in Williamsburg with no blackouts or restrictions we want to use at WilderNess at the Smokies and take advantage of our SDC SP discount at Dollywood.That would and actually burn up a couple of days as it would be a road trip and I'm scheming to get Holliday World in on the return trip 8)
No spring break other than a weekend trip due to the Europe trip which is looking like at least 3 weeks maybe 4.
If she likes the cruise, we may include a Barcelona/Rome cruise in it and knock out Pompeii as a shore excursion at Naples. Several offer those but Disney is round trip back ro Barcelona

Better instead of changing the title to just start a new thread for the new year. at least IMO. For someome coming in later it could be confusing to have 2017 and 2018 mixed together. :-)
