I'll expand on Gump's idea. Since the roller coaster season is going to be starting in a few months(May 10th is the big day!), and some parks are even going to be opening in a couple weeks, it is probably a good idea to post this. Basically, post the parks you will be going to and parks you might be going to.

Definites:

Cedar Point(hopefully I break 10 trips here this summer)

Possibles:

Canada's Wonderland(This is all but planned)
Michigan's Adventure(My friend got a CF platinum pass so she will probably take me to a few parks)
Six Flags Mexico
La Fiera Chepultepec(the last two if I go to Mexico City)

The following would all be in the same road trip:
King's Island(I might get to go here with my friend too)
Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom
Holiday World
Beech Bend
Dollywood

How about you guys?

Probably just the usual nothing :/ Nobody in my family is a roller coaster rider. And none of my friends like them either....

Oh, wait. I'll most likely hit up Legoland or Seaworld over the summer with my family. But my little sister is traumatized ever since she rode Atlantis. So she doesn't go on ANY rides. It's actually kind of pathetic. She's even afraid of the Winnie the Pooh ride @ Disneyland.

^BG:Africa!?!? Dude, BG:Europe is the way to go! Apollo's Chariot is freakin amazing! Alpengeist is too, but the cobra roll slams you super hard against the seat.

I'll have my driver's exam on March 19th, I hope I do not fail. Why I'm saying this? Well, I want to drive to Phantasialand together with three friends at April 19th. I will probably also go a second time this year, because I'll get a free ticket again.
Somewhere in May I will go to Hellendoorn, just to get my bingo. Their biggest coaster is Vekoma's Tornado (knex-man rebuilt it).
I also hope to go to two local parks where they have a few kiddycoasters (one is a Butterfly).
I haven't planned anything else, but I assume that I will get free tickets for Walibi World in November again.

Hershey (Fahrenheit too!@#:!@), probably Great Adventure and most likely Dorney. Hopefully we'll go to Coney Island for the Cyclone, and I want to go back to WildWood for the Nor'Easter's new trains.

^LOL i'm luky too if i get to go to one theme park too
I HOPEto go to Alton towers, theme parks in England are getting ridiculosly dere.
Two years ago (I think) I went to southport, we went to go in it, it was £80 just to get in and enough tickets to go on the log flume, something I can't remember, and tramatizer (it was relocated to pleaser beach and renamed infusion)!
And if I'm luky I might also be able to go in pleasure beach with my cousin when we go to ST IVES (Near blackpool, unless its ST annes and ST ives is in cornwall) .

Of course not, the organization always chooses for a cheap, yet comfortable hotel to sleep in. I was on a trip to Heide Park last year, though... and we got to sleep in the new 4 star hotel for free. I can still remember the view on Colossos from my room.

I went there last summer. Everything was nice there, except the Virginia heat and the cobra roll.
