Trip Plans For 2015

bmac said:
My main focus this year is New England, going to go up there by all means once Wicked Cyclone opens. I also have plans to visit Knoebels and Hersheypark, trying to make them a yearly tradition for my dad and I.

Toss in Morey's Piers and Storybook Land for CoasterCon.
 
Vienna Prater this weekend, Blackpool/Alton in April, Liseberg in May, Tokyo in June and hopefully Florida in November :)
 
This year will be more of smaller trips, scattered around the season, rather that one big trip.

Djurs Sommerland - Probably for the opening day.
Disneyland Resort Paris - May.
Parc Astérix - May.
Hansa Park - Whenever they open Kärnan.
Efteling - July.
Toverland - July.
Liseberg - October, during EAS.
 
This year I'm definetely going to:

- Luna Park Sydney
- Luna Park Melbourne
- Movie World
- Aussie World
- Rainbow's End
 
Quick update;

The Milky Way - Done
Blackpool - Done
South Shields
Phantasialand (booked yay!)
Brighton
North Wales parks
Tayto Park
Dreamland Margate
Drievliet
Duinrell
Walibi Holland
Europa Park or Holiday Park

Looking a lot busier than I initially thought.

Booked up Liseberg, £19.99 flights are just ridiculous. Only staying the one night but got two fullish days so hoping I'll get everything done breakdowns permitting.

Gonna look at Madrid later in the year but been put off by a few people really talking down Madrid as a city.
 
^ Just go for the parks then :p

It's pretty cheap and easy to get around with a car. Plus the parks are fab.
 
Another pro Madrid fan here, sure it's not as scenic as Barcelona, it's more of a powerhouse city but we enjoyed our time there and renfe do a good deal with train + entry to WB Movieworld
 
Madrid is really nice and the parks are decent, I'd definitely go. I'm due a revisit really.

I've booked a couple more Europe trips now to supplement the ridiculous US trip - so I'm going to Copenhagen over the August Bank Holiday, and I'm gonna do Bakken/Tivoli/BonBon, and then Germany/Switzerland at the end of September, hitting up LegoLand/Skyline/Conny/Europa Park.

Yay!
 
Movie Park Germany is pretty much official now for 10 April and will be my first new foreign park of the year.
 
Apart from the ridiculous US trip, I've got a couple of other Euro Trips in the pipeline thanks to some dirt cheap car hire/hotels/flights.
