A few of you know that I will be going with some buddies down to Savannah, GA for a week in June for some much needed rest and relaxation!

This season, I took the plunge and went with the Platinum Pass instead of the usual Gold Pass. This trip will be taking place from Friday June 13th to Sunday June 22nd, with my first trip up to Cedar Point for Coastermania! the week before that on Friday June 6th.

When I requested the time off and paid for the beachfront condo down in Tybee Island, I was set on driving separate and visiting Carowinds. If I have the pass this year, I want to get the absolute most out of it that I invested, right? Now, I'm seriously considering adding Kings Dominion to that list as well. I have come up with an itinerary, which of course is subject to change, but I wanted your input as to if this will be too much or if it should be adjusted. Thank you in advance for your help!

· Coastermania! Event at Cedar Point- Friday June 6, 2014

· Registration for event starts 7:00am, ERT begins 7:30am

TOTAL MILEAGE ON THE WAY DOWN: 1057 miles

We are doing something similar in August.

Hitting the Point first then Dorney, KD and ending at Carowinds.

Then a week in Myrtle.

Might hit one of the parks on our way back home.

Breaks the 11 hour trip up a bit.

If you have never been go to Dollywood on the way back. I know it's not apart of Cedar Fair but I loved it when I went.

Interesting...I will be driving I-75 on the way back. Time permitting I will be golden to stop by Dollywood, it's just a matter of seeing if it's financially possible at this point.

Be aware your travel times are way too optimistic. On I-95, it's very rare there aren't delays for construction, traffic, etc. As an example, I live 17 miles from Six Flags America, all but two of it the Beltway. It's typically a 45 minute trip each way.

Planning on speeding? Don't. The Carolinas are rigid enforcers, as is Georgia, Maryland, etc. I'll spare you my DC camera enforcement sermon.

I've heard Georgia is tough on speeders but so far I have never been stopped. I do whatever traffic does most of the time and that typically has me 10 over the limit. I guess they owe me a few.

That's what I was wondering. Regardless if my plans include Kings Dominion or not, I will be getting on I-64 in Grayson, KY taking that to Charleston, WV and taking I-77 South. At that point the best routing I found was getting back on I-64 in Beckley taking that across to Richmond and hopping on I-95 North to Doswell.

I need to update the maps on my TomTom. Been awhile. Gotta love lifetime map and traffic updates!

When I traveled from that area, that's the route I took--along with the bypass around Richmond.

I'm trying to figure out what would be realistic drive time wise. I will be hitting Richmond, VA and Charleston, WV in the morning hours.
