Postby gottastrata33 on April 6th, 2018, 4:55 am
Don’t know about anything in between but we just planned our coaster trip around a wedding in MO

Leave June 23rd.
June 24th -Knoebels

June 25th - BGW/KD been to KD so I personally just need the 1305 experience & of course Twisted Timbers so we just need a couple hours there.

June - 26th - Myrtle Beach/Carowinds for a couple hours just cause we love Fury 325 so much.

June 27th - Dollywood.

June 28th - SFOG.

June 29th - Alabama Adv./Magic Springs.

June 30th - the wedding.

July 1st - changing SDC to SFStl cause we like to do SDC as it’s own trip.

July 2nd - Worlds of Fun.

July 3rd - Adventureland.

Tips:
Go to Twisted Timbers first, I-305 has higher capacity
If your a Mini Golf Person, Myrtle Beach has like 20 Mini Golf Courses
Near Dollywood, There's something called the Jurassic Jungle Boat Ride. It's horrible... So go on it
At SFOG, Be sure to ride Acrophobia, Monsters Mansion, Riverview Carousel, And Mind Bender... Also all the other coasters
Magic Springs is HOT
I'd also recommend you hit up the St. Louis City Museum which is a giant McDonalds Play Place
Hit Up Lambert's Cafe. It's the famous home of thrown rolls and it's impossible to leave that place hungry

100%: SFGAm and Dollywood

Probable: Indiana Beach and Nickelodeon

"In the talks", which really means long shot: SFSTl, Mt. Olympus, Valleyfair

This year we had big plans but some conflicts over the summer forced us to scrap our entire summer vacation. We are planning to have that vacation next summer, which is Canada based. This year though I'm hoping to finally get the credits that for some reason I still don't have... Never been to Mt. Olympus, Indiana Beach or STSTl despite them being so close.

Okay Cedar Point and Six Flags Mexico just go bumped up to definitely. Now for probally we added Knotts Berry Farm and Discovery Kingdom. It's in the talks but we might be making a trip for Canada's Wonderland. Never been on Leviathan so in case we do go I'm pumped up for that and I will have ridden two gigas :D .

For Six Flags Mexico:
- You are in for a treat with the Superman, Joker, and Medusa queue lines (I would run to Medusa first)
- You only get 1 fill of soda with your refillable bottle (And that counts as your snack)
- Ride the rapids ride. You will have a story to tell for the rest of your life.
- They play the Jeopardy theme song instead of "I like to move it"
- The Dark Knight still shows the old "Why so Serious" video in the queue line

^ Thanks I really am looking forward to to Mexico trip and I'm picking up one more credit on the way. In San Luis Potosi there is a fair in August and they have one roller coaster there so I'm going on that. Also there is another reason for Six Flags Mexico... good tacos :lol: .

So far this season, I've been to SFGAM, Cedar Point, King's Island, and Holiday World. Both Six Flags parks in Texas and Silver Dollar City are in the works for this summer as well. Random question I wasn't sure where exactly to post - are there any ACE members who would be willing to share exactly what the member discounts are for ACE? I've been debating joining for a few years and just found out there are discounts for members; I'm just curious what they actually are since their website is very vague about it! Thanks to anyone willing to share specifics!!

When you go to Mt Olympus make sure you get on Hades in the morning. Especially if you are going on a weekend. If you are going to the water park then make sure you get a spot too. Do any of the go karts, they are all fun. Ride Manticore it is a Starflyer that gives off a nice view.

It seems like the other side always wins on American Eagle :?
Also, I've ridden Goliath 23 times in one day. HBU? :roll: :P
