I still have 2 parks to visit before my season is over...SFKK (last visited in 2000) this weekend and PKI (last visited in '96) next weekend so that will be a total of 9 parks. This has been my most active season ever, and I'm loving it! If all goes as planned for the next 2 weekends, I will cross over the 100th coaster mark.

Nashville needs a theme park!
Edited because I accidentally left out SFWOA...oops!

Cedar Point is still the greatest place on Earth in my eyes, we were there last Saturday and really just walked around and had a ball. My wife won't wait in 2+ hr lines, frankly I'm not fond of them either. So we just walked around and saw the sights. It was great.
Parks that have been deferred to next year;
SFA, SFGAdv, SFNE, Universal/IOA, SeaWorld Orlando, BGT, BGW, PKD, MarineLand (Canada) plus the usual suspects of SFDL, CP, and hopefully SFWoA and PKI again... 2004 is looking great already!!
