Last Visit & Day for Your Park?

What is the last day of your homepark, and what is the last day you have, or will visit it.

Today is the last day of Dorney, I'll be there! :) ;)

"Last" Day is Nov. 6, and I'll be there

But Winterfest, which is rumored to have the entire kids areas (the Flyers! -PKI's flying scooters) and Top Gun: the Jet Coaster open lasts until late December/early January, so I'll get more chances to visit the park then.

Season pass day at SFOG is this Saturday, Nov. 5th. I can't wait! It's still not really the end of the season for me, since when I go home for the holidays I'll have BGT! :)

I dont think there is a day that I cant go ride a coaster. Since there are so many open year round. Otherwise for traditional seasonal parks last riding day will most likely be Season Pass day at SFOG. Catch a few rides and get some Goliath photos. :devil: Otherwise Florida is the place to be for all year coaster riding.

SFOG's Season Pass day next Saturday will be my homepark's last day as well. Johnny, you may be in luck, I'm guessing that perhaps as much as half of the lift may be done by next week! As of today they had probably 30-40 (vertical) feet of the lift hill done.

I can't wait for IAAPA, hoping that they have Goliath's train on display like they did for Superman.

oh yea, my personal last day in a park confirmed is Nov. 22 at Camp Snoopy, but I'd imagine if I don't end up at SFOT like I'm looking into that I may make it down to Universal aka my vacation home LOL

MarineLand closes on the Sunday of Thanksgiving Weekend. Luckily, SFMM is open year-round.

I was at Dorney today too. In about two hours I was able to get rides on all the coasters and a few other rides. Got to finish 2005 with Hydra. All I have to look forward to now is a California trip in March.

Castles n' Coasters is open year-round, baby! Too bad it sucks (besides the arcade). I now work about 5 miles from there.

Today was AstroWorld's last day to be open forever. I was fortunate enough to have visited the park yesterday on an insane saturday. The park was crowded, but the air held a fragile tension. The ride ops valiantly worked on consciously knowing that they're last day was in 24 hours.

It was an awkward visit, I'll say that. It didn't feel right to leave the park knowing I'll never visit again. It didn't feel right at all.

Sunday October 30th was my last visit to SFGADV for the year. I finished my coaster year with a ride on Medusa.

AstroWorld closed forever at 6:00 PM today. I didn't want to levae. I couldn't help but cry at the thought of what's most likely to be there next year...a parking lot.

My shift ended at 4, so me and a couple of my former coworkers who got out at 4 as well, went and rode some stuff. We rode Steel Force a couple times, Dominator once, Hydra like 10 times, and Talon 10 or more times.

Talon was the last ride of the season for me. I got to ride it with my former crew after the park closed for you guys.

My homepark this year and the past two years was Dorney Park. I last visited on Saturday, October 15th, which would turn out to be the last park I visited and rode a coaster at this year (I went to Gadv for a season pass but didn't ride anything).

Being that this was the last year Dorney Park was my homepark, and since this was the park at which I first learned to love coasters, I rode all of them but Lazer. Especially though, I got many rides on Thunderhawk, my favorite at the park (RIP Hercules...).

My last and only trip to SFOG this year was last sunday for 3 hours. I really have no interest in going to the back, except for 2 or 3 times next year to see how Goliath is.

Well, for two of my three parks, I can reliably say that my last visit has already happened. For Carowinds, it looks like my last visit was on September 11th. I wanted to get back there, but it is highly unlikely I will get back there before 2006. As for Busch Gardens Williamsburg, my final visit of the year Saturday October 29th. And what a way to end it - two back to back rides (there would have been three, but they would not permit it) on Alpengiest in 34° weather. A blast to be sure.

While I consider all three parks to be my home parks (only 90 minutes seperates the closest and the furthest), my last visit of the year is coming up this weekend, on November 6th (maybe the 5th) to Kings Dominion (that is where one of my two passes were for). I am definitely looking forward to it.

My last day was Sat., Oct. 29 at WoF. It was the busiest I've ever seen it, but I still got to visit all the haunts, and finish up with front-seat night rides on Mamba and Timber Wolf.
