Mushroom and the quest for 400

[Mushroom]

Today I have set myself a challenge on getting on my 400th coaster by September 2014. But with very defined rule. That rule is to keep it within Europe. My 352 coasters so far have all been in Europe. I think it will be some kind of achievement to do this. I will update here how well I have done and what coasters were added.

The remaining trips for this year *so far* are:
Newcastle (2)
Madrid (At least 2 coasters)
Schwaben Park (3)
Tripsdrill (1)
Holiday Park (0)

I am planning on extra, but we will see =] But obviously some of these trips will get their own individual trip reports, like Madrid.

Wish me luck XD

Maybe show us a list of where you've been Mark? That way we can see some places you are missing and help you out?

I am thinking heading out to Seville, Poland (That bloody place has been on the cards for years!), Some of the French parks, Vienna, North Wales, Scotland.

Cool that is going to be a hard thing to do

The only ones that jumped out to me were Wild-und frezeitpark klotten, belantis and frezeitpark plohn which is 8 creds all together (subject to how you count)

Ian mentioned that the Big Sheep's coaster will open next year so there's 4 in total down in Devon, Brean has another 4, so that's 8 within a 2 hours drive.

Good luck Mark. I managed 100 in the UK alone, and that took some doing. Though I did then redefine how I count coasters and it knocked be back a lot

I want to head off to Twin Lakes at some point, you're welcome to keep us company. There's the Big Apple and the Buffalo (if you missed it at American Adventure)? It's a great day out too

[Emmett]

North Wales creds

Congrats on 400, can't believe Southport is still going. Is it still a dump?

 

[owentaylor121]

^It's a lot better tbh and they make loads and loads of money so I'm not to sure how you can be surprised they are still going. Surely you must have heard about all the investment the park has made?
I still hate the place though!
