I would say go to SFGAdv, SFA, and maybe Dorney.
Not a bad route... SFA to Dorney is about a three hour drive and Dorney to SFGAdv is about an hour and 45 mins. A total driving distance time of 4 hours and 45 mins. By comparison, SFGAdv to SFNE is a total driving distance of 5 hours (SFA straight to SFGAdv is a little over 3 hours).
In my opinion, it's all what you're going for, if you're going for the coasters, go for SFA/SFGAdv... if you're going for the quality of the parks and don't care so much about the coasters, go for SFFT/SFOT.
If you can't stand the heights, get out of the line.
I've been to SFoG twice and no Deja Vu but I got lucky to ride it at SFGAm. Thanks for the imput. I'll cross my fingers I'll have some cash to go to Coaster Con this year and I don't work. This could be an awesome two weeks!!!
Gonch tells me I should say that even the not-so-good parks are improving. I heard it was true at SFKK from last year's visits, then I experienced it myself in May. Hearing good things about SFMM and SFGAdv, and to a lesser degree even SFNE (which I guess didn't have QUITE as far to go, LOL).
Not hearing much out of SFA at all - IMO, a place with notoriously good coasters and poor mgmt. for quite a long time. Frontier City and SFDL, no longer part of the chain (addition by subtraction).
Overall, it looks like even the "not-the-best" parks have either gotten better or been sold off. If Snyder had gotten here sooner, we might have been able to improve those parks too. ;)
Hey, Gonch, remember...they have to be small denomination, unmarked bills. :)

Don't even try telling me SFNE is Better than SFA after working at both, SFNE might have a better ride selection but SFA runs them way better. SFNE has the worlds slowest attendants.
SFA has actually been running things somewhat well this season from what I've heard as well as experienced....they did beat out all the other parks attendance wise on memorial day so they must've done something right.
Now if they can just get skull mountain open,I'm headed there on saturday so perhaps I'll be in luck this time.

When did you work at SFNE? This year they added single rider lines to all major attractions including of course SROS and all rides run at max capacity.

I live 2:45 mins from gradv and 30 mins from SFNE so there is no way it is a 5hr drive and I have gone to both parks on the same day.
that's something you'll want to do AGAIN, even after you have all the credits..
A man of my heart...count another vote for heading south.
...everybody has been nice and left out the Pennsylvania suggestions...but I am hoping you are factoring in gas prices...don't know how many you have in your party.
You say you "love wood." Pennsylvania is the place to be...I said it...go on now!
Or you could go to the Dells...?
