Hey guys! I have a question for you, what parks have you guys been To?
Are you roller coaster veterans? Or N00bs?
And if you haven't been to many parks, What's YOUR home park? What Parks do you need to go to before you die? How Often do you visit Theme Parks?

I myself have been to all Southern California Parks, and last year I was able to go to Cedar Point, lifetime Goal on that one. But I visit theme parks randomly, maybe 4 times a year to 0.

Are you guys the same or way diffrent?

I've been to the Orlando parks minus fun spot and water parks(not really a fan), most NJ boardwalks, Great adventure, and every park in PA thats east of the Susquehanna River( Kennywood and Waldameer are the 2 major ones I have not gotten to). This doesn't really count but I was at the gas station across from King's Dominion once during the off season, it was also 2:30 am so I couldn't see a good deal either
What are these for?

god, I've been to a LOT. Wild Waves (Home Park), Playland, Luna Park (coney island), Cedar Point, SFMM, Disneyland, Disneyworld, Knott's Berry Farm, Universal Studios Islands Of Adventure, Busch Gardens Tampa / Williamsburg, Europa Park, Alton Towers, Rainbow Magicland, Liseberg, Holiday Park, Gardaland, Fun Forest, Enchanted Forest

Probably forgetting a few. I've been on more than 150 coasters

At this point I only go to a theme park maybe once or twice per year, but I make the most of it!

I've only been to Kentucky Kingdom, Holiday World, Kings Island, and Geauga Lake. I've only been to Geauga Lake once, in 1998, well before I became a ride warrior. I visited Kentucky Kingdom loads of times since it's my home park, and since it just reopened I can do it again. Besides Kentucky Kingdom, strangely enough the park I visit most often is Kings Island even tho Holiday World is closer.
Parks I would most like to visit before I die: Cedar Point, Dollywood, Beech Bend Park, Hershey Park, Busch Gardens Tampa, and Silver Dollar City come to mind.

How do you guys visit? Road Trip? Multiple Parks in one vacation? Or just over the years have been visiting parks for a long time one by one.
The parks I have to visit before I die are Hershey Park, Canada's Wonderland, both Bush Gardens. I think I can do a Road trip to several Six Flags because if you have a year pass, you can go to all of them. Besides many six Flags are near major cities I would like to visit Like New York, Boston, Chicago. Its kinda a cross country road trip with theme parks along the way! But its a ton of gas and driving.
I have to visit both Six Flags Texas Parks, there definatlly on the list. and Great Adventure. TORO, must ride before I die, or before it gets too old and gets lame like most legendary woodies.

But much respect for you guys who have visited all those parks, you truly known what your talking about when people argue which coasters are better. You have to ride them to judge them! I finally did that when I went to Cedar Point. And I hope to keep riding more and visiting more like you guys!

God that must suck, not being able to do what you like to do because you don't have transportation. I will literally cry if that day ever comes for me.
I've always wanted to go to Alton and Thorpe. They seem like the most fun parks. Hopefully I can go someday!

There are still some areas of North America I have to visit. North East + Canada (think Waldameer, Canada's Wonderland, La Ronde) and SouthWest (Dollywood, Carowinds, SFOG).

I started going on coaster-based vacations since 2008 and I've been on 3 TPR tours so far.
