Anyone really looking forward to a specific ride or park that they are planning to go to that they haven’t been on/to before?
For me I’m heading to King’s Dominion and Busch Gardens Williamsburg this week and I’m super excited to ride the restored Grizzly… and hopefully, if the gods are willing, I’ll finally get on Pantheon which I’ve been to the park 3 times for and still haven’t been able to get on it.
Honestly my goal for this year is just to actually get on a rollercoaster, and it’s not looking like even that will happen!
Wish we lived somewhere with better access, but it is what it is. Next year, baby.
What region are you in if you don’t mind me asking? I know there are parts of the US that have a severe lack of coasters and I’m sure other countries have the same.
I’m North East England, so there are a few places we could visit (although no easy new credits). But the parks are getting pretty expensive here (transport even more so) and given that we just got married and went to Eurovision it’s hard to justify. You know how it is!
Hoping to start venturing across into more European parks from next year though. Sadly it’s no longer quite so easy these days.
Certainly… I haven’t quite hit that point here but I have already cut some specific parks out of normal plans because of unjustified costs and I am also no longer that person who just automatically clicks renew on season passes each year with the prices going up all over the place. As for getting to parks I am lucky to be in a region where I have lots of parks that aren’t right by me but easy to do in a day so I consider that a huge blessing.
Up until Friday it was Wildcat’s Revenge for me and it 100% lives up to the hype!
I’m really hoping I can get up to SFDK and ride V2 now that it reopened. For personal reasons I can’t travel anywhere besides my two home parks and I haven’t been on V2 since February 2020.
I’m trying to lose enough to get the Hollywood Dream credit when I go back to USJ this fall. I missed it earlier this year but was able to ride everything else. Those dang B&M hyper seats are not forgiving.
Good luck! On the plus side those are as comfortable as it gets for seats/restraints once you do fit.
I’ve been on other hypers just fine, I’m not too fond of them personally. Never really liked any b&m seat.
I find the B&M hypers very comfortable personally but their horse collars kill their rides (honestly I think they are comparable to Arrow trains, just not as aged). Their vest restraints are one of the better moves they’ve made for inverting coasters though (compareale to Vekoma MK1212 trains IMHO)
In September I’m going on holiday to Singapore with friends so we’ll be visiting Universal Studios Singapore while we’re there. I think its the smallest of the Universal parks, but it’ll be my first so I’m really looking forward to it!
