wondering how many different parks in how many days in a row
well last summer I broke my old record of 3, I live in sandusky, Ohio right near CP. So I went to PKI, then CP, then SFWOA (SFO), then Kennywood. It was a great trip one of the best times I've had in my life. This year I'm going to do 4 in a row again. SFMM, KBF, Disneyland, and Disneys California Adventure (not particularly in that order).
Do water park's count, ever year we go to FL for a couple of week's we do 1 park a day that's 4 day's for disney then 1 day at IOA and 1 at USF then SW
then we usally do 2 water park's thats around 9 in a row this year we will be adding BGTB for 10 park's in a row can't wait.

I've done four parks in a row once and five parks in a row once in my life.
1987 (four parks): Knott's, DisneyLand, Sea World San Diego, and Six Flags Magic Mountain.
2001: Epcot, SWF, BGT, USF, IOA.
Though in a way, you could say that I went to seven parks in a row in 2001. I did the five above Sunday-Thurday. On Friday, we went to Old Town in Kissimmee, but didnt ride anything. Then Saturday, when I got back home, I went to opening day @ PKD. So in way, that was seven.

In June, I'm going to SFWOA, CP and Kennywood in a span of three and a half days. Then in late July, SFMM, KBF, DCA and Legoland. Next week I'm going to SFOT and SFFT back to back.

"You are the weakest link...goodbye".
In June, I'll be hitting Hershey Park, Knoebel's, and Dorney Park in three days. Another time this summer, I'll be going to PKD and BGW in two days, with the possibility of adding a third day to revisit SFA.

Well, they weren't quite all consecutive, but the most park-intensive stretch I've had was a bit on my drive from CT to CA last spring where I hit 19 parks in 22 days. However, within that stretch, I didn't run more than 5 days in a row at parks without taking a day off.
Just for the record, the itinerary for that one was CP, Day Off, SFNE, Whalom/Canobie/Funtown, LC, Day Off, SFA, Dollywood, Lake Winnie, SFOG, Visionland, Day Off, Jazzland, Day Off, Magic Springs, Frontier City, Joyland (KS), Day Off, Day Off, SFOT, SFAW, SFFT/SWT.
Outside of that trip, I've had a couple stretches of 6 days of consecutive park visits (and have one more planned around SRM this year), but they weren't quite as bad that. One of the few things about college life I'll miss is the ability to plan trips like these.
mike (what do you mean, "over the top?")
11 completely consecutive days if you count water parks. WDW-MK, Epcot, DStudios, AK, Typhoon Lagoon, Blizzard Beach, River Country, Wet N' Wild, USO, IOA, and BGT. Spending two weeks at a Disney Resort is extremely fun...and very expensive.
4 days - Knoebels, SFGAd, Hershey, SFAW

Ah, Amusement Park Visiting Endurance:
My record is 6 days straight, in that time I visited:
Morey's Pier
Mariner's Landing (Pier)
Wild Wheels Pier
Site of Nickel's Pier (Den of Lost Theives)
Playland's Castaway Cove
Gillian's Wonderland Pier
Steel Pier (Atempted to visit, GRRRR)
Dorney Park
Knoebels Grove
DelGrossos Park (Blands)
Lakemont Park
Hersheypark
William's Grove
Dutch Wonderland
After that I don't see myself trying 6 days again, by day 5 I'm pretty worn out. Darnit, my stamina just isn't what it used to be.
I've done 2 5 day trips.
To the original poster: Do days WORKING at an amusement park count. If so I could string about 60, because in 1996 I worked at a park and I think I visited parks on every off day.
Last June I was able to visit the following parks over a period of five days while on a trip to Florida:
Busch Gardens Tampa
Islands of Adventure
Seaworld Orlando
MGM Studios
Old Town
And then I visited Cedar Point the day after I got back, making for six days in a row of amusement parks.

'01 New parks to visit: 9
In December of 1997 I did:
Monday: Epcot
Tuesday: MGM
Wednesday: Magic Kingdom
Thursday: Magic Kingdom/Epcot
Friday: Universal Studios
Saturday: 1/2 day at Universal Studios (This was not planned, but they were giving away tickets to come back on the next day for free.)
I did: Magic Kingdom, MGM Studios, IOA, Epcot, Animal Kingdom once.

On our Florida trip last year, we did the following:
Sun: Old Town
Mon: MGM, Epcot, and Magic Kingdom
Tues: IOA
Wed: Sea World
Thurs: BGT
Seems Orlando is the easiest place to do this, with 7 major parks plus one in Tampa. Throw in Old Town and all of the waterparks, and you've got a boat load of places you can hit within a small area.

The best I can do is 2 in 3 days. 2 days at CP, then on the drive home stopped at PKI for a ride on SOB.

My girl is planning this mean*****3 weeker that started when we found out you can go to all the Paramount and Six Flags everywhere with your season pass.

3/21 SFSL
3/22 SFKK
3/23 PKI
3/24 SFOG
3/25 halfway to BGTB stop
3/26 BGTB
3/27 IOA
3/28 PC
3/29 BGW
3/30 PKD
3/31 SFA
4/01 SFGAdv
4/02 DP
4/03 HP
4/05 SFWoA
4/06 CP
4/07 CP / SFGAm
4/08 SFGAm
4/09 go the hell home...maybe stop at SFMM on the way back from LAX.
Used Coasterbuzz to research all the parks and plan it out. Thanks Coasterbuzz...for making us laugh about love...again.
Now where's my free shirt I'll proudly wear for 3 weeks straight? (Well maybe not straight...see I'm going with this girl...oh nevermind...I mean yes straight...obviously if I'm going with a "girl"...I mean of course I'm straight...I mean, my spoon is too big!!!)
Wait... those parks aren't open in March or April.

Kind of like Monty Python...
"1...2...5!"
"Three, sir!"
"3!"
It's cause my birthday is 05(May)/03/78 and sometimes forms ask me to put it 3/05(May)/78.
And my Dewey Decimal system is screwed, too.
