PARKS: THEME PARK & ROLLER COASTER CREDITS

One of my primary loves are theme parks and roller coasters. With two visits to Orlando early in my childhood and a revived love for parks since 2006, I have been a "Ride Warrior" ever since. As of May 7, 2015 I have been to 13 theme parks & ridden 73 roller coasters.  

This will be a growing blog post, which will evolve over time so keep checking once in awhile. The date in the above paragraph is the current update of the list below. Each main bullet represents a park then the side bullet below each park are the roller coasters I have been on at that park. Note that the parks in Florida I have only been in 1998 & 2001 and I was 6 and 9 years old respectively.

NOTE: POSSIBLE PARKS THIS SUMMER OTHER THAN THE VA/MD PARKS ARE CEDAR POINT, KINGS ISLAND, KENTUCKY KINGDOM & DOLLYWOOD. NOTHING IS SET IN STONE AS OF MAY 7, 2016.
