Just checking, how would you get to SFGadv? Are there buses,trains,uber etc you would take? Forgot New York area is all about public transport and taxis! I see there's a fast 'Acela' train between the cities to DC. I could pick you up at say Baltimore (when i head through it on Sat morning on...

Also, Pantheon! and spring break will be busy that week i suspect. Hersheypark is only open on those weekends. It's really a race against time and making compromises. I'll definitely let you know once i've got this trip set in stone though.

Yeah so i 90% agree with you. Here's the logistics issue though. No other parks are open during the week. Knoebles also only open from May onwards. It's about 7 hour drive from Dollywood to KD/BGW 'ish so that first day would be a half day. 3 days is what i wanted between KD and BGW which allows...

I'll be using 16 days leave on this trip, so my next one will have to be shorter unfortunately.

I've saved a few from last year since i had to cancel all my trip, but still we couldnt build up many days and had to take some with the family.

I think you should join me at HersheyPark on 9/10April. That's about a 4 hour drive for you though right? The thing about Hershey and SFGAdv... I will most probably visit them again when passing through there on my next visit anyway to SFNE,Quassy and Lake Compounce. Along with Knoebles and a...

UAE for coasters? Sounds awesome. Still need to get out there. Is that BombayExpress woodie open yet? Will it be open by then if not already?

This is what makes this trip such a logistical nightmare. Basically have to decide between SDGadv or Hersheypark on the weekend. If i choose SFGadv then no Hershy for me.

Would be really cool to meet up but the only weekend day i can potentially hit SFGAdv is on Easter Sunday...otherwise i need to miss HersheyPark. I can imagine El Toro being my number 1 coaster. I'll be so sad if its not open by then though. The park did say they will open by Spring. but it...

Yeah i've never been to the east coast parks. I was in Washington DC for 4 days a few years ago for a conference but couldn't find time to add a few park visits in.

I've got a video call meeting now so i'll "be back" in an hour!

Of that list most are new parks for me except the Florida and LA parks. So been to these before that i'm visiting again for new standout rides : BGT,IOA,SWO,Funspots,SFMM,Knotts

Oh yeah another thing. SFOG being missed because i'll go there next trip when Aireforce One opens.

You'll see most parks i'm allowing two days. Imagine if i turn up to Dollywood for example and Lightning Rod isn't operating for the day. I'd be devastated!

Then Knotts and MM again for rerides on GhostRider and X2 etc. Also West Coast racers i missed by about a month last visit. Anyway, after all that then back to NZ hopefully with a negative covid test. Otherwise stuck in US for a few more weeks!

Also my car rental return go from $800NZ to $1100 just by dropping it off at Newark vs Baltimore airport. So will make my way back down from SFGadv and hit up SFA for Superman and any other bonus creds. Flight at night to San Diego for SWSD the next morning.

in an ideal world i would then drive on further to SFNE, however the cool parks on the way isn't open so will do that later in the year on my second visit for CP,KI,HW,KK, Kennywood,Knoebles etc.

Then a few days between KD and BGW (Pantheon!). HersheyPark second opening weekend, will be busy as hell but only way i could line it up. SFGAdv after that. I really hope Eltoro opened back up by then.
