I'm going to Cali to Knotts and Sfmm later this month and even though I'm excited. I'm already looking towards next year. I told my mom about a trip to Indiana Beach/Holiday World. Since I am from Ohio, I figured it wouldn't be that out of the way...I guess I was wrong. It looks like it will be 7/8 hours to Indiana Beach. Then from there, 6 to Holiday World. Then after that, another 7/8 to get home. I dought my mom will support this idea and I was wondering if you guys have a better coaster trip or maybe an easier one.
We were thinking about Six Flags New England this year but that fell through after we got tickets for our 2 week trip to Vegas/Cali/Cruise down to Mexico/Knotts and Sfmm.....lol.
So I thought maybe next year we could go to Sfne, Sfgadv, and possibly Kennywood/Hershey/or Knoebels. I was hoping on Kennywood even though I've been there a couple of times. I just wanna ride Phantoms Revenge/Jack Rabbit all day. This trip would be a bit longer, but it would be free of charge at all of the parks except what ever our 3rd park is.
I was also thinking about Michigans Adventure, but that would only be if they get something new next year because it seems a little out of the way.
If you can think of any other good trips from around Akron, Ohio and visiting 2-4 parks but probably 2 or 3. We'd like to save money though considering this huge West coast trip will drop us to the ground. Thanks.

It's 106 miles to Indiana Beach. We've got a full tank of gas and a half-full cooler of cokes. It's light, and we're wearing Disaster Transport 3-D glasses....hit it!
Always leave the negative opinions from the critics at home and form your own opinion. With that said, if you havent been to SFKK before, even if it gets negative reviews, you should still at least give it a chance. So in conclusion, why not try these parks since you have done PKI before.
HW, SFKK, and Lesourdesville Lake Park.

Boy we have some small minded peeps around here. UGH
Anyway Lesourdville Lake is not worth a trip by it self but its great to take some time out during the day at PKI and going to Lesourdsville for a couple hours. Its less then 30 minutes from PKI. Anyway they have a very unique John Miller out and back woodie, the Screechin' Eagle that gives Cyclops air on every hill, along with a Pinfari Zyklon.

While Holiday World looks like an outstanding park with outstanding coasters, the problem with them is they do not have the single position lap bars

IB has free parking and In My opibnion is the better park. Sure HW has two of the best woodies on the planet but thats it. The atmosphere is nice, free pop and all but there is not much there to spend more then a couple hours for unless you go to the waterpark.
IB on the other hand has 5 coasters, 1 of the best woodies on the planet, an S and S Double Shot, the original shoot em up dark ride, a great atmosphere and cheep prices. I could spend all day at IB. HW on the other hand is better suited for a SFKK, HW all in one day trip. Excpet for SRM of course.

If we do go to Indiana I know my mom will want to go to HW too. So maybe even a 4 park trip which might include Cedar Point too. We'll go to Cp anyway sometime next year as we always do, but it could happen I guess.

I have these same debates with myself all the time. I've not yet been to alot of parks, but I plan to go to all of them eventually. I've always had a great time at a new place just because I'm experiencing something new. I'd flip a coin and head towards any park. You can catch the other ones later. Your doing new things and I think that is what is important.
