This is a thread for theme park aficionados... hence the threat title. I was hoping that I wasn't the only one who loves the feel of a theme park (minus all the overpriced crap).
Living two hours away from Atlanta, I bought a season pass for Six Flags Over Georgia for $50 a few weeks ago, and took my first trip of the season. I actually surprised myself by getting on all of the rides that day, including Goliath (200 foot drop), and Mind Bender (two loops and no shoulder restraint), as well as Batman (inverted), Superman (facefirst), Ninja (jerked around the entire ride, seven inversions), and the Great American Scream Machine (at one point the tallest coaster in the world, now the most painful).
My girlfriend and I are planning on going to Orlando this summer to do some beach hopping, and are planning on checking out Universal Orlando for a few days, when we came across this awesome deal:
$325.87 per person includes the following:
Four nights at the Holiday Inn at the Entrance to Universal (been there before, comparable to the Wingate, not bad at all) = Typically $250 per person.
CityWalk Party Pass = Typically $20 per person.
Commemorative ticket (something about Harry Potter land).
Early Park Admission to Islands Of Adventure = Typically $20 per person.
Scheduled Theme Park Transportation (buses and some ferries I believe) = Typically $30 per person for stay length.
Three Broomsticks Breakfast = Typically $30 per person.
3-day Base Ticket (2-park) = Typically $130 per person.
Total typical = $470 per person.
Now: $325 per person.
Savings: $145 per person x 2 people = $290 total saved. Not bad.
Anyone else interested in some Universal action this summer? We could make a meetup out of it or something haha.
Also, what other parks do you love to frequent, and what do you recommend for attractions and such?
