Need Help with Eastern Coaster Trip Part 2

I would definately go with SFNE and Lake Compounce because they are two of the best parks and I can't wait to get back there this summer because it has been way too long. SFNE has S:RoS which is an amazing coaster and my personal favorite and LC has Boulder Dash which is a great woodie in my opinion.

So I would go with SFNE and LC as two great parks to visit. Believe me, they are well worth it!!

I'm thinking about a trip to Holiday World, Michigan's Adventure and Six Flags St. Louis instead.

bleh, you dont want to do that.....*COGH* SFNE&LC *COUGH*

hmmmm....I do think I want to do that. I'd be riding 3 of the top 5 woodies in the world (according to amusement today). I also might hit Paramount's Kings Island instead of Six Flags St. Louis.

Just to let you know Michigan's Adventure is a bit of a detour from the other parks you're debating going to. I think a trip to Indiana Beach would be closer, but of course its all up to you.

Yeah, I was actually thinking about Indiana Beach. Is it a better choice than MA?

I haven't been to either yet, but from looking at various places online they look to be on about the same playing field.

Hard to say...As a park, Indiana Beach runs CIRCLES around MichAd. But MA has Timbers, so you'd miss that coaster.

Indiana Beach has *tons* of charm and Cornball is absolutely great. If given then choice, I would most likely go to Indiana Beach, but on the other hand, there is no ride quite as impressive looking as Timbers.

Do both, they're only like 3.5hrs apart. :)

You are comming from KC right? If so you can drive to SFStL do the park and drive home in the same day (I do it the other way around - drive to WoF several times a year)

MiA is nowhere near Holiday world or Kings Island... Your best bet would be to fly to Louisville (Southwest - you can usually get really cheap rates) and do HW, PKI, and Six Flags Kentucky.

Indiana Beach or Michigan's Adventure? I'd pick IB every time, even though Shivering Timbers is one of my personal favorites right behind The Legend.

Michigan's Adventure (apart from ST) is pretty much a bore as far as park experiences go. Indiana Beach, on the other hand, ranks right up there with the likes of Knott's, Knoebel's, and Kennywood as far as places I would like to spend the day at.

I also should mention that while I don't like Michigan's Adventure much on the whole, I have no problem with traveling three hours one way to ride Timbers.
