[joz]

Only 2 out of the country, but I think there pretty good: Alton Towers, England once Disneyland, Anaheim twice. Still, I am planning my next holiday, so within the next 2 or 3 years, I'll be able to say Six Flags Magic Mountain, Knott's Berry Farm, Disneyland, California Adventure, Las Vages, Six Flags Astroworld, Six Flags Feista Texas, Six Flags Over Texas, Islands of Adventure, Universial Studios, Seaworld Orlando, Wet 'n' Wild Orlando, Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kindgom, Ghoast Town in the Sky, Six Flags Georgia, Six Flags World's of Adventure, Cedar Point, Six Flags Darein lake and Paramount King's Island. We're also looking at checking out Lake Compounce, Holiday World, Six Flags New England and Paramount Great Adventure. But for now, only the 2 above

[thunder001]

While I have yet to go to any parks myself, the list and time frame that Joz mentioned is about the same for myself. The only diff is that I will start on the west coast with Six Flags Magic Mountian, Knotts Berry Farm etc and will then jet over to see Lance from Screamscape and do the whole Orlando thing with Lance as a guide. Still in planning but am trying to get this done with more ppl than just my family.

I definetly wanna go overseas in the next couple of years. I wanna do the southern californian parks (kbf, dl/dca and sfmm), orlando parks, which would include busch gardens tampa bay. Then if I had the money, Cedar point, sfwoa, pki and kennywood.

I've been to Euro Disney. It wasn't bad but it's aimed at a very young crowd. Space mountain was awesome. 3 loops all indoors with an awesome light show. You start the ride by being shot out of this hugh cannon. The Indiana coaster was cool as well. all backwards with a largish loop. The mine train was also pretty good.

Well I'v had my fair share of parks outside Australia: Disneyland Paris. ( To much Kiddie music Haaa :x ) 1999 Park Asterix France ( I recomend to go to this one ) 1999 Alton Towers ( Great park to cold though, and cues unbareable )1999 Duinrell Holland (More water park , than themepark, good swim area)1999 RatangaJunction South Africa(BEST Themeing Ever Seen In all Parks)2000 Gold Reef City South Africa (Great Rides)2000 De Efteling Holland ( Good park, has character more focus on kids )2002 Six Flags Holland (great park) 2002 WBMW Germany (Lethal Weapon there is a whole new story!) 2002 WBMW Spain (Awesome Rides) 2002 Well Its not much compared to other peoples posts on here. Btw, i'm going to South Africa again in 3 weeks, and i'm goin to see if i can get some photo's of one of the parks there. The scenary is AMAZING and unlike nothing i'v seen in other parks before.

[DJKostya]

When we went to Euro Disney we were supposed to go to parc Asterix instead but it was closed So we got into Disneyland for free cause the travel agency were such retards. I really wanted to go to parc Asterix. I think it's goudrix's run? The big white steel coster that looked awesome

[screammachine]

It's a real shame you didn't get to go to Parc Asterix! Its a really good park! Yeah the white steel ones called Goudirux. Its a really amazing ride. It had it's fair share of inversions. Especially the Butterfly or Batwing (have no clue what its called :oops: ) inversion after the loop, has really good speed on the drop. And it goes over water!. You shoul try and go there next time youre there. Its got a big wooden one called Zues aswell, i would say 1000 times better than BB.

A couple of years ago my wife and I went to USA & Canada and went a bit coaster crazy. Places we went to included: Six Flags Magic Mountain Six Flags Marine World Disneyland Universal Studios Buffalo Bills Las Vegas Santa Monica Pier. We would love to go back. Would like to go to Cedar Point and some more Six Flags.

[beetlecoaster]

I have had 15 parks here in Europe I think. But that number will grow a lot comming years

[stdragon03]

I Have done most of the theme parks part from a few on the westcoast of the US.Last year went to Japan and did a couple which was brilliant and i am organising a trip to Orlando for November which i cannot wait for. Here's my list Disneyland SFMM SFMW Paramount's Great America SantaCruz Boardwalk BuffaloBills Nascar Cafe Sahara Casino Stratosphere tower Fujikyu Highland Nagashima Spaland Most of the themeparks in Australia's Eastcoast

[Kevin Reynolds]

My list: Six Flags Marine World - 9 times... in the past 3 months Paramount's Great America - Once... a year... atleast Knott's Berry Farm - 2 times, But i rode Xcelerator on opening day in the 3rd train of the GP(so it's a win win situation) Disneyland - 5 times Disney's California Adventure - 1 time Six Flags Magic Mountain - 1 time(and i hope never again) Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk - 2 times Sad thing is, some of you have been to way more parks in the US then me and i LIVE in the US.

[rappa]

Got back from my first US (and overseas) trip a few weeks ago... We hit (although I wouldn't call a couple 'parks') Nascar Cafe` Circus Circus Stratosphere New York New York Disneland Park DCA SFMM (twice and I hope MANY times again...the park may be bad but the rides can't be beat!) Universal Studios Knotts Top ride overall - eXcelerator Most amazing ride experience - X Awsome size award - Goliath Freekiest Ride - Scream and the ride everyone must get on - Riddlers Revenge As far as best of a Kind that goes to Goast Rider and Perilous Plunge (ive been dryer jumping in a pool)

[Slick]

As a youth handi-capped thrill junkie i have been very lucky to go to america and spend 8 months at NZ and have been to: Disneyland: 5 times Universal Studios: Once Pacific Park: once i think :x Rainbow's End: once But in Oz: DreamWorld: 6 times (suki-nah!) MovieWorld: 3 times Wet'n'Wild: 3 times Sea World: 4 times

[Guest boycotta]

true slick but its obvious how sqeaky and horrible the thunderbolt looks and sounds. lots of should already know by now that it has always been like that and was built to feel like a wooden rollercoaster. but infact they are keeping the first drop and the 2 famous australian loops but deleting the rest of the ride because of complaints. ciao buonanotte

[bigglesworth003]

Hi new here Disneyland - 16 times DCA(disney's california adventure) - 10 times Universal Studios Hollywood - 2 times Seaworld San Diego - 1 Time and returning next year to disneyland and dca numourous times and universal knotts seaworld

[Nebuchanezzar]

Jeez, it must be real hard for all you people who gewt to go overseas and crap and go to all the awesome amusement parks. May I say I am ridden with jealousy. Does anyone have any feedback on Kumba by any chance?...

[Richard]

This one is a bit old. I never posted the first time so why not. I've been to: Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk (not open at the time, just wandered around the dead park) Universal Studios Hollywood Disneyland Disney's California Adventure Six Flags Magic Mountain Belmont Park SeaWorld of San Diego Circus Circus Nascar Cafe (Speed not operating due to weather) Stratosphere (rides not operating) Six Flags Over Texas Universal Studios Orlando Islands of Adventure Busch Gardens Tampa SeaWorld of Orlando Magic Kingdom Epcot Animal Kingdom Disney-MGM Studios Blizzard Beach (water park) Wet 'n Wild Orlando (water park) Next year Paramount's Kings Islands, Holiday World, Cedar Point, Coney Island (Astroland etc.) and one or two others will be added to that list. Kumba is a great, intense and smooth B&M. As with any B&M it's a great ride, though at the same time there's nothing about it that really stands out. I'd have to say the best thing about it is that it was a complete walk-on for my entire visit, and most reports suggest it is like this on any visit.

[NatDog]

Cedar Point, SFMM & Paramounts Kings Island. If anyone hasn't experienced The Beast at Kings Island, it's magnificent. It lives up to all the hype it gets, it's truley amazing.

[stdragon03]

The Beast is a good coaster but at night is when it comes alive. i was fortunate to ride it around midnight early this year on my trip, a great coaster experience. My park list has increased to another 17 this year From CedarPoint to Knoebels.Next year hopefully returning to Kingsisland,Dollywood ,Holiday world plus Michigans Adventure,Silverdollar city, World of Fun, Sixflags Stlouis and Sixflags Great America.

[NatDog]

Silverdollar City has a B&M sitdown, looks fantastic.
