The countdown beginsAs most of you will know from my very long trip report me and Caroline had the times of our lives at Cedar Point in June. So with me getting quite a bit of share money from Tesco (where I work) next year we have decided to go back again, but this time for two weeks and doing a few more parks as well.
This is how our 14 days will work out
Saturday - Fly to Newark then drive to Six Flags Great Adventure 
Sunday - Six Flags Great Adventure
Monday - Cedar Point
Tuesday - Cedar Point
Wednesday - Kings Island
Thursday - Kings Island
Friday - Holiday World
Saturday - Holiday World
Sunday - Cedar Point
Monday - Cedar Point
Tuesday - Cedar Point
Wednesday - Cedar Point
Thursday - Cedar Point
Friday - Cedar Point
Saturday - Drive back to Newark for return home 
The best thing about this trip is that thanks to Tesco Clubcard and £210 in vouchers we are going to be travelling in Club World on British Airways and save £2200
Bring it on

The adrenalines already pumping thinking of those great coasters you will once again get to ride - the magnificent El Toro, Kinda, Nitro, TTD, Maverick, Millenium F, Magnum, so many more.
Got to stop drooling on the keyboard, drool and electronics a great combination do not make.
Have a great time you two, and enjoy flying club class. For myself and other members it must be a case of 'wish we were there'.

Yeah Frosty I really cant wait for it at all, even though there are still 9 months to go 
The final full day is now going to be at Kennywood, a park I have always wanted to go to plus it does break up the long journey back from Cedar to Newark a bit as well.
The most exciting thing is that out of all the parks we are going to the only one we have ever been to before is Cedar Point. Just think of all those different rides waiting to be done like El Toro, Kingda Ka, The Beast, The Voyage etc

El Toro has got to be the king of wooden coasters, although I'm sure Magic would say 'Balder' is king.
I liked Kennywood & it hosts one of my favorite Steel coasters, The Phantom Menace. There's some great rides and a very pleasant water area. Enjoy!

I've only ridden one of those Ryan, Meanstreak, and I think it was more than a little rough - no wonder you like it 
El Toro is a fast, thrilling and amazing experience. I've yet to sample those other coasters.
