I'm obviously visiting SFGAm, especially to execute Operation: FRR, but I'm divided on what my Main Trip should be. CP was my Main Trip last year, so I'm already putting that on the chopping block. I'm expecting my next CP trip to occur once the Snake River Falls replacement is built. (So glad I put it on my bucket list despite not knowing it would close since I missed Splashwater at SFGAm.)

Here are my top Main Trip ideas:
1. Six Flags St. Louis; Sure, SFStL isn't the most grand park, but they recently opened a first-for-the-U.S. of A, Rookie Racer. Mr. Freeze also looks insane. The highlight for me though is that in order to reach SFStL, I need to drive through Springfield, IL, which is a bucket list stop for me since Springfield houses one of five CEC (Chuck E. Cheese) Legacy Locations. (That means it keeps the Animatronics permanently!) It's the only one in the Midwest too, so unless I want to travel to California, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Washington, or Texas, I'm out of luck. (Side note that the last three states have stores with Animatronics but they aren't keeping them permanently.)

2. Dollywood; If I bought an All-Park Passport, it wouldn't work here, but Dollywood is obviously an outstanding park. Despite not being a huge fan of Dolly myself, this is another bucket list park. Then, there's the Smokey Mountains, the wonky tourist attractions, and the Titanic Museum. Another park along a great route with lots of good stuff.

3. Canada's Wonderland; My family and I have taken an interest in Canada recently, and a lot of my interest comes from CW. It's unfortunate for me that CW isn't open in the spring since the two CECs nearby (one with a one-of-a-kind-stage) nearby are removing their Animatronics in spring, but it's cold so I get it. Even visiting in the summer would be fantastic since I'd bet everything outdoors would look better. This park is the one I hope to visit most of all since I could reach 50 and 60 credits (if only a few coasters are closed) and riding a B&M giga would be sick!

Any thoughts/feedback on my ideas would be very useful! Thanks for reading.

Don't have any plans set in motion for any park outside of SFGAm, although CGA is my primary goal for the year due to possible closure this year.

Honestly, if I'm available the day they set on opening (Which I am betting is late in the season), I might join in on that operation. They'll probably have passholder previews beforehand or something but I have always wanted to do a SFGAm campout ever since I saw the TPR's Tatsu campout, it looked so fun!
Some time, on way to successful, first of steps of all of the steps to being successful steps are hardest of all of the steps to successing.

I went to TN in 2017. In addition to Dollywood and the Smoky Mountains, we also hit Ober Gatlinburg! It's a really nice park. You ride an aerial tram to reach it and that has some breathtaking views! Plus you can pick up a coaster credit there on the Alpine coaster and there is a super cool Scenic Chairlift as well as some cool slides. Highly recommend it!

This year planning on an East Coast trip. Looking like:

- Busch Gardens Williamsburg
- Kings Dominon
- Carrowinds
-Possibly Six Flags America

And in the Midwest looking like:

-SF Great America
- Indiana Beach
-Possibly Holiday World, Kings Island and Mt Olympus

Usually hit at least 5 or more parks every summer. Haven’t been to Kings Dominion since 2016 so I’m most looking forward to that one. Was lucky to ride Volcano before it left us.

I am thinking of hitting Dorney Park, Six Flags Great Adventure, and Hershey Park, if time and $$ permit!

And obviously our park (Great America) probably 10-15x

I'll be making an effort to get to Cedar Point more this year as long as TT2 runs more consistently. And then Siren's Curse is bonus!
