If you planned on driving, you would have to find someway to return a rental car...unless they accept it at another location...do they?

^Nope.
Idea sounds awesome, but a *little* tough to accomplish. Especially since (I don't think) you're graduating until 2012 or so. You need a lot of time to build up that amount of money.

Thing is, America is a HUGE place, and we don't have awesome train systems like Europe does. I think if you want to do an America trip, the best way would be to do the Florida parks, fly to California, do Ca parks, then fly to the East Coast and do theirs. That way you would be in the areas with the most concentration of major parks. (you'd just have to leave out some of the isolated ones) So it would be like three normal trips, into one, huuuuge trip. You just can't see all of America in one trip...it's too big and spread out.

I only concentrate on the major parks in the areas...

Well, I'm just saying if you don't want to spend say $300 on a plane ticket to the South to go to Dollywood, (which isn't that big of a park) you might just want to ignore parks that are way in the middle of nowhere...You could make your trip incredibly cheaper and more possible if you get rid of insignificant parks like that.

That is stillllll a lot of money in plane tickets! I'm not sure how else you would get from place to place unless you bought a car here...also, skip Nevada. It's a fricken dessert. Las Vegas has what?? A couple coasters? Then you have to drive way out in the middle of nowhere to get to that Buffalo Bills place. I'm telling you, there isn't anything (coaster wise) worth going to in Nevada. But again, not to come off as rude, but your probably going to forget about this trip a year from now anyway. Lots of things are going to change by the time you do this trip, anyway. It would be best to save up a ton of money (If you really want to do this trip someday) and plan your trip like 6 months in advanced, and not like 5 years...

How about you start small and just hit the Califorinia parks or just the Florida parks. Wouldn't that be a more realistic trip?

^I agree. Maybe the whole East Coast. California parks rock like no other, but they are kind of out away from everything. The East Coast is a lot closer to Europe, also...which means probably a more affordable plane ticket.

But that`s why I take the East Coast at last so I don`t need to go home all the way from California!

Geez, I think a 4-day trip to Orlando is a lot...

Well, what can I say.. If you want to make this trip a life goal, go ahead and start saving!

Geez, I think a 4-day trip to Orlando is a lot... But this may be a record in the coaster industry! Coasterdude5: Already done that! Phazan (Earlier posts): Ha!I`ve been having the same dream in about 7 years and I don`t think I`m going to stop with it! Plus,it isn`t five years in advance,it`s ten years!
