Most Parks You’ve Done in One Road Trip?

Opening at Lake Compounce and getting to Clementon with less than 45 minutes to go before closing (enough time to ride J2 four times, and that's it) and as I had been to all the parks but Clementon before, I didn't need all day at them, I was with another enthusiast who had been to most before as well and he only cared about getting credits in. I think the Wonder Wheel was the only non-coaster we did that day (spending the entire next day at Great Adventure to 'relax')

This, because I was on that trip. It was exhausting, but fab! And lol at the "Kings Dominion parking lot" comment. I305 just sitting there neing illuminated by lightning, taunting you!
 
This thread makes me wonder how many parks one could visit in a single day. Someone should definitely attempt a world record.
 
I think it's probably
Walygator
Phantasialand
Europa Park
Didiland
Holiday Park
Toverland
Walibi Holland
Driveliet
Efteling
...and a fair in Luxembourg
2 of the party also did Amsterdam Dungeon.

Summer 2010 <3
 
Apart from the big 8 in Florida (which doesn't really count as a 'road trip', I know), my own record is a fairly pathetic 5, which was just a few weeks ago on this years Ghosterforce trip. They were Efteling, Toverland, Phantasialand, Movie Park Germany and Walibi Holland.
To be honest, I'm not sure I'd want to do much more than that in a single trip. You folks that have been on these epic, 3 week expeditions - doesn't it get a bit repetitive after the first week? Not having a dig, just wondering how long it is before the 'coaster fatigue' sets in and you actually start yearning for a day off?

I find that depends on what sort of things you're doing with the time.
I feel like I could go forever if it was all single decent parks with something really standout every day.
The fatiguing bit is generally the travel faff in between or the trying to pack in as many things as possible.
I have found myself growing tired of the extra rushing around for insignificant creds on the longer trips, but only if it's impacting on the better stuff.

Technically I didn't do Coney Island for a week after La Ronde because I was sick of doing parks. And some days were dedicated to driving cross country. But they were all on the same trip.

Forgot to add Baja Amusements, Jolly Roger Amusement Park, Jolly Roger At The Pier, Trimper's RIdes and Kings Dominion (again) after Morey's Piers.
 
It would have been that RMC crusade trip we did a few years ago:
  • Six Flags St. Louis
  • Silver Dollar City
  • Six Flags Over Texas
  • Six Flags Fiesta Texas
  • Kemah Boardwalk
  • Galveston Pier

That trip was amazing. <3
 
I think it was the German/Dutch trip I did a couple of years ago, that had the most amusement parks visited in a single trip, but most of them were pathetic crap, so meh...
Trampolino
Phantasialand
Efteling
Avonturenpark Hellendoorn
De Waarbeek
Amusementspark Tivoli
BillyBird
DippieDoe
Efteling again
Slagharen
Toverland
Movie Park Germany
+ 2 major German fairs, Cannstatter Volksfest and Oktoberfest
+ 4 smaller Dutch fairs (Hengelo, Wijchen, Gouda, Weert)
+ a couple of spiteful parks;
Klotten was open, but the rides were closed due to rain
Schloss Beck, that I knew was closed, but walked up to it, since I had time to kill before MPG opened
Plopsa Indoor Coevorden, that I couldn't get the bus that would get me there (it was some sort of a call bus thing, but the number didn't work for me)...

So, what's that, 11 parks and 6 fairs? Decent :p
 
2014 featured:
Pleasurewood Hills
Fraispertuis City
Europa Park
Holiday Park
Tripsdrill
Nigloland
Bagatelle
Dennlys Parc

All in one trip. I think I had more stamina in those days!
 
My mammoth European rail trip (in the spirit of the topic if not technically a road trip) took in fourteen parks (Plopsa Hasselt, Bobbejaanland, Prater, Familiepark Neusiedlersee, Legoland DE, Skyline Park, Märchenwald im Isartal, Mirabilandia, Fiabilandia, Movieland, Gardaland, Europa Park, Phantasialand and Jardin d'Acclimatations)

Though, in the space of two days, it was almost beaten by our ridiculous south-west cred run at eleven (Flambards, Camel Creek, Brean Leisure Park, Milky Way, Big Sheep, Animal Farm, Crealy Adventure Park, Funder Park, Adventure Wonderbland, Clarence Pier & Hayling Island)

I believe this is my longest as well. Tied with
Cedar Point
Kings Island
Kentucky Kingdom
Holiday World
DollyWood
Carowinds
 
I never really do massive trips. I prefer shorter ones, because then the parks still feel exciting. After a while I feel that I kind of grow numb. Anyway, I guess my UK trip had the most:
Cannon Hill Park
St Nicholas Park
Drayton Manor
Alton Towers (2 days)
BPB
Thorpe Park
Chessington
Wicksteed

Closely followed by my recent Scandi trip, which had the most major parks:
Tivoli Gardens (1.5 day)
Bakken
Tivoli Friheden
Djurs Sommerland
Fårup Sommerland
Liseberg
Gröna Lund
 
USlive from a few years ago..
Lake compounce (spited by quassy)
SFNE
(Coney island spite)
SFGA
Knoebels + Dorney
SFA
Hershey
Kings dominion
Busch Williamsburg

And I added a few days and did
Kennywood
Cedar point.


ECC us trip a few years ago did:
Great escape
Story land and funtown splashtown
Canobie lake
SFNE
Quassy and compounce
RYE and Adventureland
Coney island

and I added
Gillians wonderland, playlands castaway cove and Moreys piers (all in one day)
Hershey
and SFGA
 
Somewhere between 15-20. I hit up the Jersey Shore with 10 parks in one day which helped boost the number. I forget specifically the number but I do remember 10 in one day. That was quite fun basically bar hoping from park to park.
 
3 in a day, twice in one trip. Dorney, Knoebels and Hershey one day, Quassy, SFNE and Compounce the other. 7(8) parks total, also grabbed SFGAdv and a +1 at some castle place.
