Here's a trip report of a trip I did last year. This includes some stops for food and shows, including walking from Bat to the SC smokehouse. I didn't walk all that fast either, at least, compared to malem and stashua123 (except for riding Beast, AE and Banshee all at night).

Got 11 pages of Google map directions. Entirely avoiding the PA TP except when going to NJFTP and maybe Philly. Hershey only needed 1 page. Turns out the road my hotel is on leads directly to HP. Huzzah! I am taking a slightly longer way to Knoebels, one that looked less curvy than the shortest route. Packing most of my stuff today since I have a rehearsal tomorrow and a concert Wednesday.

BTW, I thought of a more creative way to showcase my 100th credit.

Though early, the weather for my trip is looking rather promising, especially in Erie.

So with Waldameer and Knoebels being free admission and parking, how is re-entry handled at both parks?

USA Today reports 6 injured, hospitalized. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2018/06/14/florida-roller-coaster-derailment-daytona-beach-boardwalk/704121002/

Update- KK will be pushed back to July. I've just had too many things pop up recently to fit it in this month. I'll probably go for the end of July. Here's my itinerary for the trip- Friday- Leave Cincy at 5:30-5:45 am, get breakfast en route, get to Erie/Waldameer between noon and 1 pm Saturday- Travel to Allentown early, planning on a similar arrival time, options thereafter include Dorney's or Hershey's water park, explore Allentown, or venture to Philly Sunday- Dorney Park (changed since I got an unlimited ticket for Knoebels only good on weekdays, Knoebels will be where I get to my 100th credit) Monday- Hersheypark, aka, the best day of the trip Tuesday- Knoebels Wednesday- Six Flags Great Adventure (may be subject to change based on weather, may place NJFTP on the day with the best weather but I'm still keeping it on a weekday, this park is also likely where I get my 100th in that event), I am prepared to get a Flash Pass if necessary Thursday- Back to Cincy

No disobeying the 11th Commandment please.

The Eiffel Tower is also your friend in eyeing queue lengths quickly without having to traverse the whole park. For most of the park at least.

I may have to push KK back to Wednesday now.

Great, now Knoebels is teaming up with Hershey to troll me with food/dessert posts.

This is a question regarding Six Flags Great Adventure- how many trains will each coaster run during the week?

^They listed their new water coaster under their roller coaster listings.

Hersheypark, I love you tons, but you go to your room and think about what you did. http://www.hersheypark.com/rides/search.php?ride_type[]=1

I ain't gonna lie- part of me wants to re-visit Michigan's Adventure when I do CP in late July. Muskegon has been growing on me. EDIT: There is a slight miscalculation on my part regarding my 100th coaster location. I did the pay one price thing for Knoebels which isn't valid on Sundays, so I will be doing Dorney on Sunday and Knoebels on Tuesday, so Knoebels will likely be the site of my 100th credit, thus, either Twister or Phoenix will be my 100th.

I'm gonna rank the parks I've been to so far. 1. Dollywood 2. Hersheypark 3. Universal Studios 4. WDW- Magic Kingdom 5. Cedar Point 6. Kings Island 7. Holiday World 8. (Paramount's) Kings Dominion 9. Michigan's Adventure 10. Six Flags Great Adventure 11. Kentucky Kingdom 12. Coney Island Distant 13. Kennywood

I've been hearing from some HP fans I know that Hershey has been eyeing that land for quite a while.

If they put a flying coaster on Millennium Island, then they should have Millennium Force thread through a huge pretzel loop. Just sayin'.

The only time I'm using it is from Allentown, PA to Jackson, NJ and back. Otherwise, it's gonna add a significant amount of time going all around that, and with Six Flags Great Adventure likely being last along with me being a bit on the tired side by then, I'll take anything quicker in terms of driving. My hotel is already close to 2 hours away anyhow via the quickest route through the PA and NJ turnpikes.

Massachusetts silver2005, avoiding one word posts.

EZ Pass acquired. Just gotta get a rental car.

^Thanks for finding the High and Mighty theme. I've been searching for that song for YEARS.

Yeah, for some reason, Red beats Blue to the lift and that pretty much determines the race right there.

Next Monday is the first of my trips- a short day trip to the Hartland. Will be posting my trip report here. Also- ACE discount> out of state discount. Hoping Thunder Run's new train makes it even better. Don't really care about the status of T3.

My parents as well as all the coworkers I talked to about this still think Kentucky Kingdom is operated by SIX.
