First park for the 2002 season?

2 days ago I rode the Screamin California, Materhorn, Space Mountian, and Mountian Railroad. I had to get a jump start on the season. I am trying for 30 new (to me) coasters for the year.
-----------------

My first park visit of the season will be Oaks Park in Portland, OR. I'll be there for five days (Feb. 18-22) and the park won't even be open for business (except possibly the rink).

PKI.....then CP......then California 4 the first time!:):)

well, i was going to SFA first, but ive read in previous posts here that they dont open till April 13th....so it looks like ill be hitting PKD opening weekend:)  and im going to try to get to Ricochet as soon as they open the gates...all my life, ive wanted to be the first GP on a new coaster on its opening day.....i am determined to make that happen this year!! :)
-----------------
ROLLERCOASTERS....BETTER THAN OXYGEN BABY!!!!!!

I think I'll most likely get to PKD first (on opening day 3-23) in which case I guess Volcano will be first (I hate waiting for this ride).
I'll hit Ricochet sometime that day.

However, I am considering taking advantage of BGW's "EZ Pay" option on their "Platinum" pass. Since I am going to SWT this year and its conceivable that I could go to BGW 4 or 5 times over the next two years the pass seems worth it. Especially since I dont have to drop all the loot at once AND I didnt even figure in the free parking yet...If I indeed do this, then BGW will be my first park on their "Passholders Only" day St. Patty's Day March 17. And I guess my 1st coaster would be Big Bad Wolf (trying to 'beat the crowds' :))
