2015 It's All Downhill From Here

I finally sat down to tally up the numbers for 2015 and it’s staggering what the Lord blessed me in 2015!  2010 was the last time I was able to take a big trip, and that trip included three parks.

In 2015 I visited TWENTY ONE amusement parks! Wow that’s insane even for me!

These parks I visited for the first time:  Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, Knott’s Berry Farm, Universal Studios Hollywood, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Waldameer, Canada’s Wonderland (1^st international park), MarineLane (2^nd international park), Conneaut Lake Park, Six Flags New England, Knoebels, Lakemont, Quassy, Rye Playland, Go Karts Plus (Williasmburg) and Idlewild.

These parks I made a return visit to: Carowinds, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Kennywood, Six Flags America and Six Flags Great Adventure.

And for the big drum roll please…

I started the season at Carowinds and Fury 325 was my 204^th credit (unique coaster ridden) and I finished 2015 with 276! 

I can’t imagine ever picking up 73 credits in one year ever again. I’m very thankful for the blessings I’ve received this year that allowed me to travel so much, meet Antoine and Chris for the first time, travel to Canada with Shawn (first time in Canada) and just have an incredible year to look back on.

Things haven’t been easy since mom passed last year, but God more than made up for the hurt of 2014 with the blessings of 2015.  My physical challenges are what they are, but wow God has blessed my socks off this year!


I also completed my goal of riding El Toro and got the Bizarro credit to boot!

I look forward to a big trip to Orlando next month and then a trip up to Dollywood for their amazing new wooden coaster later in spring.

By end of 2016 I should be getting very close to 300 coaster credits.

Until next time.
