I had a pretty great year as well!

Hershey Park
Knoebels (Possibly my all time favorite park)
Dorney Park
Kings Dominion
Six Flags Great Adventure
Six Flags Over Georgia
Luna Park Coney Island
Cedar Point
and of course, Carowinds!

To finish off the year I'll be heading up to Dollywood in October and hopefully get a ride on my first RMC.

Next year it's most likely off to the big three Missouri parks along with Holiday World and Kentucky Kingdom.

You should come to the ACE event on November 19! I've requested an hour of nighttime ERT on Lightning Rod. :-)

Outside of a ton of Carowinds trips this year, I've hit the following:

Kings Dominion x2
Busch Gardens Williamsburg
Cedar Point x2
Kennywood
Waldameer
Kings Island
Kentucky Kingdom
Holiday World
Wet 'n Wild Emerald Pointe

Heading to the following in a month:
Disneyland
California Adventure
Knotts Berry Farm
Six Flags Magic Mountain
Scandia
Castle Park
Pacific Park

Still planning a trip to Dollywood (most likely the ACE event, as well as Knoebels for PPP.

Then I'm done for the year as I divert money to renovating my house.

Next year will be a decidedly light travel year since we're in the planning stages for Japan in September. Otherwise it'll likely only be local regional parks like Carowinds and SFoG and the VA parks.

This is a cool thread. My life is pretty lame compared to some of you, but not bad for a college student with no driver's license/car. This year I did:

Six Flags Over Texas
Six Flags Fiesta Texas
Six Flags St. Louis
Dollywood
Carowinds :mrgreen:

(All new for me except for Carowinds of course)

I'm not really a big Six Flags fanboy or anything, but it would seem like it since they're almost the only parks I've done in the past 2 years, haha. They just ended up being really convenient this summer (My dad lives near Dallas; I worked near Austin but my friend was taking a short trip to San Antonio; my second job was in St. Louis. Would've been cool to take a trip to Silver Dollar City but we didn't have enough time off and not sure we could've gotten a car)

Hope to go to SFNE at some point after I get back to school
Slightly possible I'll get to Lake Compounce this season

I'd love to but I doubt I'll be able to convince my parents to let their (by-that-point-16-year-old) to go back to Pigeon Forge again. :lol: Plus I'm (unfortunately) not an ACE member at the moment and we've already got rooms booked for October.

Though an hour of ERT on that beast in the night sounds glorious!

I'm definitely planning to do Cedar Point in 2018. But I'll try to go next year if possible. If not, I'll put it off until 2018.
