Neat. Makes me want to go ride Bizarro. Hopefully I'll get to in a couple of weeks.

How many parks do you hit up each year matt?

Bubba Z · « **Reply #1528 on:** October 19, 2009, 08:20:48 AM »

That had me thinking since I went on a couple trips with said Matt. I hit 40 parks this year. Knowing Matt, he went a coupe other places that I didn't go. I'm thinking he hit closer to 50. KD, Adventureland, W.O.F , Hershey, Sea side and LC come to mind.

Disneyland , DCA, Knott's, SFMM, Keansburg, Knoebels(2X) , Dorney(2x), Quassy, SFNE, SFKK, Holiday World, KI, Camden, Waldameer, WDW all 4 parks (2x), Sea World(2X) , Universal, Ocean City, Wildwood, SFGadv(8x) , Dollywood, Vegas, Sylvan Beach, Jeepers, Hoffman's, SFGE, Deadwood, Motor world, Funplace, Freestyle park, Family Kingdom Park, Old town, Scandia, Adventure City, BGE and Kennywood. Im shocked I haven't been to Hershey @ all this summer. Looks Like I'll have to do candy land again.

Oh, I almost forgot about Mt. Creek where I almost drowned in the 18ft cliff body slide pool.

*edit . I know I'm going to remember something later again.

AV Matt · « **Reply #1533 on:** October 19, 2009, 10:01:23 PM »

I forgot one: Fun Spot next to Old Town in Florida.

Don't sweat not getting out to more parks. It doesn't make you cool or anything. I just devote most of my spending money to this hobby in lieu of other expensive hobbies like musical instruments, computers, movies, etc... But if I didn't have friends to go with, I wouldn't go to parks as much.

In other words, it's all Bubba's fault.

dkny6363 · « **Reply #1534 on:** October 20, 2009, 12:30:15 AM »

Matt that list made me throw up in my mouth a little bit. I'm not gonna lie.

Dorney x 7+

You know it's bad when Matt loses track of how many times he's been to a park.

WadeJ · « **Reply #1539 on:** October 20, 2009, 05:38:57 PM »

I lost track of my gadv visits. It's at least 15 which is low for me. Too many trips to vegas, bgt, seaworld, universal and disney this year. The other parks cut into my local park time

. At least traveling full time has its perks but geez Matt, that's crazy!

B-mac · « **Reply #1540 on:** October 20, 2009, 06:13:31 PM »

-Gadv visits: 6
visits worth bragging about: 1
-Funtown and Casino pier visits: 15+
Visits to brag about: 1
-Morey's visits: 3
Worth bragging about: 3

The main reason why I visit funtown and casino so much is because I can bike there and I get free rides!

AV Matt · « **Reply #1541 on:** October 20, 2009, 06:50:47 PM »

A lot of my "local" park visits are in the form of just an evening out with friends for a few hours. I'm not a hard core rider all the time. Actually more times than not, I take things at a relaxed pace. Other than for the Coastin' By The Ocean event, every time I went to Wildwood this year was a Friday evening with a couple of rides at most followed by several hours of Flipper's Fascination. I look at it as an a get-together with friends and not "OMG I'm going to the amusement park. I need to ride everything 10 times!"

B-mac · « **Reply #1542 on:** October 20, 2009, 07:06:58 PM »

I'm always like that, Unless I go to a park I've never been to before.

If it's a park I've been to before, like say BGE, Then I go group hopping and meet new people.(It's kind of pointless if you do everything by yourself, my friends call it social suicide.)

WadeJ · « **Reply #1543 on:** October 20, 2009, 07:25:54 PM »

I can't believe I never even played flipper this year

. How did you guys let that happen!

I can picture a mad wife patting a roller against her hand from this post.
does anyone agree?

nitrorox1414 · « **Reply #1546 on:** October 20, 2009, 07:49:17 PM »

Ummmm not really. I see Wade disappointed that he did not play flipper.

WadeJ · « **Reply #1547 on:** October 20, 2009, 08:41:59 PM »

Too funny LOL

While I was really being sarcastic, I really can't believe that I never played this season being that I live less than 1 hour away and had actually been to the beach twice!

Chuck! When are you coming back again?

B-mac · « **Reply #1548 on:** October 20, 2009, 09:17:44 PM »

It's amazing what you miss when you don't have it on your mind.

Bubba Z · « **Reply #1549 on:** October 20, 2009, 11:00:38 PM »

Wade we can still make it , Randy doesn't close till Nov he told us.
