  • Universal Stuidos Orlando
  • Universal's Islands of Adventure
  • Seaworld San Antonio
  • Seaworld San Diego

That totals 20 parks for me.
Where have you been?

    I've been to a very few considering what an enthusiast I am. The thing with me is that I pick out the parks I like and I buy season passes for them and visit several times a year. Too bad I can't do that more with SDC this year.

    Anyway, I've been to:

    • SDC
    • CC
    • Bell's
    • Frontier City
    • Cedar Point
    • Alton Towers
    • Flamingoland
    • LightWater Valley
    • Cadona's
    • Metroland

    It feels like I've been to more though, I may be missing a few.

WOW, Eagle Rider. You've got an impressive array of theme park experience.

Oh, yeah, I've been to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk (though I've never had a chance to ride any of the rides).... Took an evening and came down from our chuch campground in Happy Valley and spent several hours walking around enjoying the sights and hanging out on the beach. Visiting Santa Cruz/Happy Valley is definitely one of the very few things I miss about living in California.

And goodness gracious, I forgot about Busch Gardens! I've been to BG Tampa, too. I'd like to go back, as I was a kid when I went, so didn't get to ride all the thrill rides.

Wow Tom, you must be one of the only other enthusiasts I know who's been to Bell's. How did you like it? Everyone seems to have a different story.

I would call the Zingo one of my top 10 favorites.  I know I'm a little anti-climatic, but I prefer old wood that is under 50 MPH and definately under 100 ft tall.  I really like the little things. . . like that tunnel that no one sees coming. 

I like Bells for several reasons, but none of them have to do with the park, so I kind of feel like my opinion doesn't count.  I can boast that I have raced a 350 lbs man down the racing water slides and lost. . . but really enjoyed watching him go thirty feet beyond me.

I have been to KiddieLand, SFGAm, WDW, DLR, SFStL, CP, SFA, SFGAd, SFNE, SFOT, SFFT, SDC, Mt O, and Timberfalls. New to the forums here. I had no idea these existed.  8)
Am I the only one that thinks PowderKeg is the best coaster at SDC?

California:

Planned(first visits/new to me)
2016: SF Great America, Adventureland

2017: Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Six Flags America, Six Flags Great Adventure, Coney Island

2018 Europe:
positives: Europa Park, Phantasialand, Efteling, Plopsa de Panne, London Eye/Sealife/Tussards/Dungeon

Maybe: Disney Paris, Park Astrix, Toverland, Holiday Park, Mirabilandia and/or Gardaland,  Alton Towers/Drayton

That trip has to more than 50% cultural/historical or the wife will revolt.

2019: Spain: Port Adventura/Ferrari World. This is easy as a Co worker is offering a free stay at his house in Murcia. He spends two months a year there and the rest of the year his parents lease it it out for him.

2020: all that's new in Orlando hopefully.

After that the kids are graduated and off to college.

"That trip has to more than 50% cultural/historical or the wife will revolt."

I'm going to Europe again next year but I cannot even think about going to a amusement park with all the great historical and natural sites to see. I'm with your wife on this one.
