I'm trying to plan my next Roller Coaster trip. I have always enjoyed coasters, but have just recently got to the point where I try to plan trips to ride new coastes.
<BR>
<BR>I'm trying to plan my birthday trip, but I don't know where to go.
<BR>
<BR>In the last year or so I have been to Six Flags Magic Mountain and Cedar Point.
<BR>
<BR>What would be the next best park to go to??
<BR>
<BR>thanks

I'd recomment a swing through PA. You can start at either end. Parks are listed from West to East.
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>Kennywood (Pittsburgh, PA)
<BR>Hershey Park (Hershey, PA)
<BR>Knoebel's (Elysburg, PA) <- Best Park
<BR>Dorney (Allentown, PA)
<BR>

<BR>If you're gonna do that, you might as well hit CP again and then SFWOA, right into those parks.

It depends on how far youre willing to travel. Im trying to figure out a way to go to Michigan's Adventure, then to Gurnee, Illinois for... well you know... then I'll make my way back to NJ stopping at major parks in Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. I hope I can do it. Itll be awesome! The best part is, my parents said it might be doable!

Ok, maybe I should give you guys some more information.
<BR>
<BR>My birthday is in December (I know the most parks are closed then, but are any open in November?) And I live in South Carolina. It will probably be just an extended weekend trip.
<BR>
<BR>thanks

<BR>May as well add...
<BR>Lakemont Park (Altoona, PA)... good "half way" point between Pittsburgh and Hershey, and it doesn't take long either (did 13 coaster rides + a handful of flat rides in a little under 2 hours)
