How many parks every year?

This year im pushing for: MIA, kennywood, CP, SF:WOA, and PKI. im going to MIA the second of july, CP (2) in october, SF:WOA possibly in august. hopefully we take that coaster trip my parents have been talking about, but they were talking about that before our car got broken into and had 500.00 worth of damage done to it and had a new roof put on. ive already hit hersheypark in April, but they did not open wild maus, lightning racers, or the wildcat, so that kinda sucked.

This year I have only been to SFOT and Astroworld. Im goin to SFOT again this summer and im goin to SFSL and IOA. All this summer.

Last year I went to SFOG and SFDL, and drove by PCW. This year I've been to SFOG and Lake Winnie, and may be able to go to PKI and Wild Adventures. Next year will be "the year." ;)

My two favorite coasters are named Superman.

Legendary, how do find the time and money at your age to do all those places and make so many trips? Do you live on the road or something?

I stock pile money in the winter and travel with lots of friends in the summer to parks which cuts down so much cost. Not to mention having friends in tons of cities across the US saves a lot on hotel bills. :)

Also, I rarely *ever* eat in parks or spend tons of money on souvenirs (I think my X shirt and keychain are the only things I've gotten this year) and I have season passes to every major chain which equals "free admission" now.

So no, I don't live on the road, but sometimes it feels like it, lol.

Gosh you guys! I do not know where you get all of this money to visit SOOOO many parks. I guess that I am just a poor college student. I do have a stinky job at a grocery store though and it does not pay much. I was supposed to work at a golf club.. but that didn't work out. nuff of that

I will hopefully visit three to four parks this season. I already have SFGAM, IB and Cedar Point on the schedule...

-----------------
Off to CP in August, first to IB in July though!! YEA!!!! :-D It will be a good summer!

So far I've been to Astroland (Coney Island), SFNE, and Knoebels. Next Weekend I'm hitting SFNE and PCW. I'm taking weekend trips to CP, PKD, small PA parks, and possibly Dorney Park. Plus a vacation including PKI,SFKK,SFWoA,SFGAm,SFStl,Worlds of Fun,HW, and IB.

Heh. This topic comes up sometimes, although FINDING it using the search can be a pain. See here and here for 2 other times I know of that it came up.

To answer the actual question (which was "how many", not "what parks are you visiting this year?"), I usually hit about 10 parks, although this year the total will be quite a bit higher (13 and counting, with known events like the ACE Europe trip and PPP still to come). And that's with skipping TimbersFest due to lack of time :(
