2004 New England Trip

At Deno's there's more than the Wonder Wheel. Don't miss Spook-o-Rama, an original PTC dark ride.


How the heck did I miss that so many times? I honestly had no idea that was even there!

Looks like I have even more incentive to get myself over there next summer...

I don't know, Rob...it's right across from Wonder Wheel's ticket booth ;)

Oh...and it's a PTC Pretzel dark ride....wanted to make that clear.

Last time I was at Coney, we completely missed Deno's, so I can understand how I missed it THAT time... but I can't believe that I missed it in previous years.

Is the ride any good?

Yeah...it still has all the old original stunts. IIRC most of the inner walls have been removed so it's now one large room, but it's pretty dark.

There was also a very large [and odd] outdoor section of track that was removed many years ago. It went in a straight line at least 100 feet along a brick wall behind some games and food vendors, did a u-turn, and then came all the way back [facing a brick wall], went thru the station, and into the dark portion of the ride.

That's some ambitious trip. I know you won't take my recommendation, but I'd only do half those parks and slow down so can actually enjoy that the parks have to offer. Plus, it's good to leave yourself leverage in case of the unforseen, especially weather.

But have fun!

Now THIS I can plan. Dude, I can get you to all of those places in less than 72 hours. But why did you leave out BGT, SFFT, KBF and the PNE?

Wow...

How long do you intend for this trip to take?

With out any down time for a recharge of sanity, the mininum would be 15 days by my count. And that does not include travel time from where ever you are, to your first destination, and then back home after your last stop.

As my earlier post said, this summer my wife and I did a "New England" trip. Just that little bit was extremely exhausting. The out line you gave would put me in a straight jacket, intensive care, or worse.

One thing I have learned... Don't get greedy!

IF I were looking at visiting all of those parks (and keeping in mind that my location is PA) I would break it down into several trips... 3 days trips (HP,DP,GrAdv), 1 Mid West Trip (CP, SFGrAmer, SFWoA), 1 NJ trip (Morey's, Sea Side Heights), 1 NY-CT trip (GE, LR, LC, Rye, Coney), 1 New England Trip (SFNE, Canobie Lake, Funtown) (maybe combine NY-CT and New England into one).

I would have to do that for both sanity and budget (you know how much that mega trip you outlined would cost?)

I normally take 9 day coaster trips but I hope do this trip in 11 days by 4 10 hours work week before and after the trip. I from WI and VF is my home park so I can't break up the trip in 2 or 3 day trips.Florida Georgia trip is in 2005 with SFNO and PCW side trips.Out west trip is 2006. On my coasters trips some times I hit 2 parks in 1 day like SFA and HP one time and HW and IB another time.I said in another reply I go after the coasters but I like Haunted or F/X houses too.

I think with some careful planning he may also be able to fit WDW and Alton Towers in. But I'll leave that up to you, Rob.
