I made this thread to reflect on what each of us did this coaster season. I know, it's sad, but it's only about 5-6 months until they open again. Also, I made this to show what exciting events which happened at your home parks. Some of you lucky ones live in the south and get to ride your coasters all year round :P.

Some of our parks are closed, some still open. For me, SFSL closes next week. Overall, this season was 100% amazing. I went to SFSL 15+ times, CP, and WoF. This year I rode some of the greatest rides in all of America including TTD, Maverick, Mill. Force, Raptor, Magnum, Mantis, Mamba, Patriot, Prowler (voted best coaster of the year), and many others.

At SFSL, many exciting things happened including Wahoo Racer, Mr. Freeze repaint, and Glow in the Park Parade. Next year, I am looking forward to see what will happen with Screamin' Eagle and the Twisted Twin Trains.

Thats enough from me, what happened during your 2009 coaster season? What exciting things are you looking forward to next year? Post it!

I don't know of any parks in the south (other then the flordia ones) that stay open all year.

Freestyle Music Park, Time Machine was great.
Dorney Park, rode one of the best inverts in the world and didn't even know everyone else liked it so much till later. Rode my first hyper, Steel Force, and my aunt died.
Carowinds, ummm, went with my friend lol.
SFoG, Awesome park and Goliath is awesome.
BGE, Got my last rides on BBW and got the best night ride ever on Alpeingiest.

I increased my count from 23 to 54.

Yeah, and I'm looking forward to Intimidator.

SFFT, went with school band, rode everything.
SFOT, first time there, Mr.Freeze is epic.
CP, first time with a early pass, best time there yet.
CW, not as good as I remember, only thing I like there was Behemoth.

I can't wait till next year to ride the Intimidators.

I went to SFMM a ton. Got to ride Terminator on opening day. Awesome.
I went to CP too this summer, which was pretty awesome. Mav, MF, and TTD were simply amazing.
Thankfully, SFMM doesn't have seasons ;) I'm looking forward to the new coaster coming in 2010...

Well...

I went to sfot twice, my favorite coasters being Titan, and Mr. freeze. And I went to IoA, Universal studios, and Animal Kingdom. Dueling Dragons, and Hulk were awesome.

Next year I should get to all the major parks in Texas.

Kings Island(Marching Band trip. performing at a local high school.)
Kings Dominion. (Intimidator 305.)
Carowinds. (Intimidator.)

Should be an amazing year. JUNIOR year FTW. can't wait for the band trips.

Kings Dominion, many trips and some of the best rides on Volcano and Dominator were spent today (the last day that KD is open). And we've got Intimidator305 to look forward to....can't wait 'till next year.
Busch Gardens, I had a great time there, some of the highlights being Griffon in the back seat and Apollo in the front.
Cedar Point, the first time I went there and the best coasters I've ever ridden. Period.

And next year, there's a tiny chance that I'll be getting a trip to BGA......;)

Well, Rode Griffon in the front for my first time. (in May)
I Went to Disney World for 10 days and spent a day a Six Flags America.

Next Year:
BGE (Go every year)
KD (Intimidator 305) (Will be my tallest coaster!)
Hershey (Have Family up there and Fahrenhiet!)
Also I might go to Orlando in 2 years and hit Disney (5 days) Universal Studios (2 or 3 days) and Sea World for MANTA! If we don't go then the year after that. My parents said within the next 2-3 years so ya.

It's been a pretty good year for myself, I increased my count by 94...


...I take alot of pleasure, yet am kind of disgusted in saying that. I know there is never too many credits, but that is the very maximum for me in one season. OWAIT, I may be going to SFMM and Knott's before January 1st, 2010. Wow.

^^How do you find the money to go so many places?

Oh yea, at Carowinds I thought Carolina Cyclone had de-railed but it was really a snag or something in the chain and I got stuck on nighthawks lift.
At SFoG, I rode the worst coaster ever (Georgia Cyclone).
