Plans for 2009
- Thread starter Antinos
- Start date
I don't really have any plans, as well I can only get like max. 4 days off/month work (sort of a state law thing)(excl.weekends) until Sept, so I can't really plan anything 'big'.
That said, I'd love to visit Denmark, well preferably somewhere outside Copenhagen as I've already done Tivoli & Bakken. Oh and Gröna Lund is very high up in my to do list, also as they now have 4 quite interesting coasters. Other than that it will be Linnanmäki at some point, and hopefully Särkänniemi.
Also, I've been looking for quite sometime on some cheap flights to Germany, Netherlands and UK, so it would be great if I could do like a 4 day trip or so, squeeze in a park or two, maybe revisit Thorpe etc.
EDIT: oh and (well this goes without saying), but if anyone those who said they might come to Finland need any help or info feel free to pm me.

Next trip, although not a 'coaster' trip, will include a few parks which happen to be conveniently placed -
Lunapark in Prague, 2 coasters.
Wiener Prater in Vienna, 10 coasters
And Widampark or something in Budapest, with 4 coasters.
In the summer i'll probably be going to FL with Ben, and perhaps Plopsaland, to try out their new coasters. Oh, and Thorpe </3.
I probably won't visit Alton or Drayton much/atall due to me not living in the Midlands anymore!
And of course, i'll be doing the TPR west coast trip. I'm also toying with a Mexico trip 'on the way' to west coast, permitting Neil is living back in Mexico in the summer. But that's just in the pipeline and probably won't happen.
So.... Central Europe, some UK credits and USA West Coast are confirmed.
Mexico and the CF Denmark trip are on the 'maybeish' list, though!

I'll be going to my usaual ones, Thorpe, Chessington and Paultons. Might also go to Alton for my birthday!
I'm trying to persuade my parents to go to Florida for our family holiday this year. They've told me my GCSE results have to be at least as good as my predicted grades. Not sure how we'll have time to book after we get the results, but I'll do my best.

Definite: Six Flags New England
Probably: Six Flags Great Adventure, Six Flags Over Georgia, Canobie Lake Park
Wishful Thinking: Cedar Point
There's pretty much only one park we go to every year multiple times because it's actually near us, and that's SFNE. We've been to SFGAdv two years in a row now, but gas prices could go back up, parents could just not feel like making the six hour drive, etc. We are almost definitely going to SFOG this year over the summer, which really excites me, namely because of Goliath and Mindbender, and hopefully we'll go to Canobie because I haven't been there in YEARS; haven't been on the Cannonball or the log flume for ages. Cedar Point....snowball's chance in hell, but it's nice to dream, isn't it?

Thorpe, Paultons, Flamingoland, Lightwater Valley, Bottons, Pleasure Island, Fantasy Island and, of course, Alton Towers.
Anything beyond that is down to a lottery win!
Will result in at least three new coasters for me though, and about a dozen for the kids (MMF hits 1.10M next year)

At the moment,I'm making plans for a Port Aventura trip sometime in June,and as I've never been before,I'm praying it works out.That's about 90% confirmed so far.
I'd also like to hit up a park in the U.K that I've not done yet,and got Flamingo Land in mind.
Other than that,it'll be Thorpe and Chessie as usual.

Well the usual Alton Towers. I'm not sure how many times, but it'll definitely be more than a few.
At Easter we'll be going down to London for the Thorpe, Chessie and now Legoland and epic London whoring sesh that the pass now offers. So that'll be cool! It was either that or Oakwood. I'd love to go to Oakwood, since it's one of the only UK parks I still haven't been too, but the other option just offers so much more.
Then a very long summer with nothing at all to do. The first summer we haven't been abroad since, erm....2004 I think because we went to Orlando for Christmas that year.
Then once Halloween is here is off to California to go to the Disney parks, Knots and Universal for all their Halloween shenaneguns. Unfortunately, time just doesn't allow for SFMM, which is a shame because I've yet to do X2, Viper and obviously Terminator and all their Halloween stuff too.
Then it's off to Florida for Christmas and New Year, staying at The Yacht and Beach Club for the first time then switching over to Coronado Springs on Christmas Eve because that's when the family come out to meet us, and they simply won't stay at another hotel because they love it there. That will include a trip to Manta, literally. Not faffing with anything else when I can be at Disney. Then we'll spend a day at Universal for The Simpsons, Hollywood Rockit and see the Grinch and do all the cool stuff there is to do at Universal. There isn't anything new at Busch Gardens, so I suppose that'll just get left until next time.
Then it's 2010!
Insane.

I may only go on two trips:
Morey's Piers and SFGAd in April
TPR Texas Trip in July
Those are the only deffinites, but I am trying to hit the Indiana parks and KI as well.
