How often do you visit parks?

How often do you visit a theme park? I go about once a week or once every other week. On a good week i'll go two or three times. If I am on a park trip it can be up to four or five. So how often do you visit parks?

P.S. I don't know if this is in the right forum, please move it if it is not.

To GADV (homepark): Around 10x a year

To DP: Once

Then...

If a road trip: Up to 2 or 3 parks

If a flying vacation: Up to 5 or 6 parks

Then, if we have enough money, I usually make another weekend out of a park like SFNE or HP.

I usually try and go about once every two or three weeks. It gets tough sometime between balancing (or trying to) three jobs, parks, and a social life. It may get cut this year because of gas prices since it takes me about 3 hours (about 160 miles to Carowinds, 200 miles to Kings Dominion, and about 250 miles to Busch Gardens) just to get to my two closest parks. But sometimes they are more frequent, especially if I am out of town (such as a two for two where I drive out of town, then hit a park for two days, then return home).

I usually go to Carowinds about 2 or 3 times a month maybe more.

And during the summer I normally visit about 3-6 parks each summer.

A park on Spring Break, two to three in the summer and one on Fall Break.
Now for the break down...
SFoT - once or twice
Frontier City - once
Cedar Point - Once (or some other park on the way to PA or in Ohio.)
That's about it.

I should have my license this summer (Test is in 2 weeks) so I'm going to buy a season pass to 6 Flags, and try to get up to SFNE every weekend, and go to Great Adventure at least a few times, absolutely have to go once this summer (Kingda Ka!!! Rip off of TTD, but I loved that ride)

But in previous years we went to SFNE 2 or 3 times, Great Adventure once, Lake Compounce once or twice, and 1 big family road trip. Last year was Cedar Point!!! (Previous years- Orlando, Williamsburg, Lake George, etc.)

Usually 15-20 parks per summer, in increments of 3-5 per trip.
