Most parks are winding down their 2012 season and have move to their Halloween operating schedule. Now is a good time to start thinking about next year. What trips do you have planned for 2013?

Right now we're looking at:
A spring trip to Texas:
Six Flag Fiesta Texas
Sea World Antonio
Six Flags Over Texas

A fall trip to:
Hershey
Knoebels

A winter trip to:
Las Vegas
Six Flags Magic Mountain
Disneyland
Disney's California Adventure

Sounds like a really good year. Six Flags Fiesta Texas is personally the only Six Flags park I really love. Have fun on Iron Rattler! As for me, next year I intend to work at a theme park all summer. My top two choices are Disneyland Resort and Cedar Point.

I have a feeling Iron Rattler won't be ready when I visit so I don't expect to be able to ride that for some time.

Living in Florida now, I'm spoiled with year-round parks. We have annual passes to Busch Gardens Tampa and Seaworld Orlando so we go there most often as both are about 90 min away. Also, since Seaworld is currently doing an overhaul of the penguin area into Antarctica, we don't plan on returning until after it's finished. I haven't been to any other parks in about 4 years (except Wild Adventures this past March) and I am planning on expanding that next year.

June 2013:
- Carowinds (my last visit was in Oct. '08; my friend's first visit)
- Cedar Point (First time for us both)
- King's Island (Also first time for us both)

Besides that there will be a day trip here and there throughout the year to BGT (spring break, late summer0 & SWO (late summer) as we're able. We are supposed to be moving to Tampa next year so trying to save for the move. Between Christmas & New Years we usually go between BGT & SWO; with new year's eve at Seaworld.

I know for sure I will be going back to Cedar Point for Gatekeeper.... I also jumped the ball for the six flags pass so after this weekend's trip to SFoG I will likely want to go back, possibly next year. I would LOVE to go to SFMM and Knotts next year as well. I also wouldnt mind Busch Gardens Tampa & Williamsburg. Of course Dollywood will be in a trip for me next year because I have had a pass the last 2 years and I renewed it again. I wouldn't mind King's Dominion as well because I haven't been for the revised version of the curve on 305...

We loved Universal Studios so much this year that I have a feeling we're going to end up making a 'side trip' down there again once the new Harry Potter expansion opens.

Since I can fly to Orlando cheap and my sister and her family live there, I want to do a long weekend down there for BGT, Sea World, Legoland and a pickup of credits at the smaller parks in the area.

I'll likely hit up SFoG, Dollywood, and KI/BGW around their opening. And of course, Carowinds.

I'm really wanting to do ACE's Germany trip, but it'll depend on if I end up getting another job and have time to take off, but that's the main plan.

If I go to Germany, then I plan on hitting up Cali (North and South) over a week or so in the fall. If Germany doesn't work out, then I'll do Cali as soon as Full Throttle and Gold Striker open.

I'll very likely do Holiwood Nights, and on that trip I'll likely hit up Beech Bend since its been a while, and Kings Island again like I did this year for more Diamondback.

My nephew wants to go on another coaster trip next year, so I may take him and my youngest nephew to Kennywood and Cedar Point. Definitely going up for Gatekeeper.

Then if I can get to Chicago, that'll make me happy.

Heck, I'm still planning on this year. Going to Vegas in December.
