Next year will be insane for my amusment/theme park trips. Im going to Cedar Point, Kings Island, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Knotts Berry Farm, Disneyland, Walt Disney World and Sea World Orlando.
Brandon! First let me say a special thank you for your continued contributions to this channel! I plan on going to Cedar Point, Kings Dominion & Busch Gardens Williamsburg next year. I live in Orlando again, so Epic Universe was always in the plans! Thank you, and Keep Riding Coasters!
If I had to pick the top 5 EPIC theme parks that people must visit during the 2025 season, here's my personal picks: 1. Universal's Epic Universe (Orlando, FL) 2. COTAland (Austin, TX) 3. Six Flags Great America (Gurnee, IL)- tied with Lost Island Theme Park (Waterloo, IA) 4. Busch Gardens Williamsburg (Williamsburg, VA) 5. HersheyPark (Hershey, PA)
Went to Cedar Point the final day it was open in 2024 and plan on spending some serious time there in 2025. Going to go 3 days myself in May to ride the rides my kids won't ride which is about half of them.
Epic Universe for sure, after I come back from Germany though for study abroad. I think I’ve sent my family so many videos of updates about the park that they gave in and wanted to go see it too. 😅
I hope to get to Epic, but it might be a hard one to do because I expect them to sell out for a good part of the early season. I do have plans to get to Florida next year though. I am sure I will get to Cedar Point, but when I am torn wait for Sirens Curse and potentially miss out on Top Thrill 2 or go early to insure a ride on Top Thrill 2.. I live too far to get there twice. Six Flags Great America would be potentially part of the Cedar Point trip..
Great list. Our whole family will be visiting Epic Universal in November 2025 and can't wait. The only park I wouldn't have included is Lost Island. What they built is beautiful and it has a certain level of potential, but it was crazy to build it in such a random area. Way too isolated and I would never go that far for just that park. Too, there's not a tree in sight and looks incredibly uninviting. Carowinds in Charlotte would have been a good choice for the list. Still, really enjoyed it.
I am doing Busch Gardens Williamsburg Memorial and Labor Day weekends, and will probably throw in a pit stop at KD or one or both trips. King's Island during Burger Week in July. Cedar Point after Siren's Curse is open. Canada's Wonderland at some point. In August I am going to a gaming and retro computer convention in New York, so I am doing a day at Six Flags Great Adventure. Thinking of maybe NE, Great Escape and Lake Compounce as well, have to see what I can actually fit in without using too many vacation days. Might try to do Epic in December. Would like to visit Lost Island and AdventureLand in one trip, or California's Great America and Six Flags Discovery Kimdgom, if I have time. I am also doing 2 Vegas trips, so I really need to strategize how to schedule my vacation days to fit as much as I can.
@KeepRidinCoasters BGT is my home park, I know a ton of people there would love (and agree) with that shirt. I'll pick it up for my Christmas gift to myself and promote it at the park 👍🏾 Meanwhile, Happy Holidays to you!
Just wondering is Cotaland Amusement Park open yet?? Can’t find website and only a few photos, pictures on Facebook. Thanks in advance. I understand why you and almost everyone else would put Universal at number 1. I myself it would not, is not on my list because I am not rich. Canada’s Wonderland would be my number 1 hands down. Outstanding List
I can't wait to experience Siren's Curse. Im glad I got on TT2 two days before it closed! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to your family & all the subscribers in our coaster community. 🎄🎁

Hey Brandon! Heard that Nighthawk closed, but thanks to your advice, I got a few last rides on it before it closed! Tysm!
Perfect :) Happy for you!
Honestly glad to hear about Nighthawk but was surprised by Drop Tower and Scream Weaver
Love this video Brandon!
Thank you my dude! :)
@@KeepRidinCoasters I think that this new video is awesome!!! 😎😎😊😊👏🏻👏🏻🎡🎢🎢🎠

Love the attention you gave to Lost Island, and way to promote #Iowanderlust!

6:56 NO, Alpenfury features 9 INVERSIONS! (The Fire Serpent & Ice Winder flip to 90* between each half, similar to Untamed's Double Inverting Stall)

I will be at Epic, Cotaland, and Cedar Point in 25.

Whatever happened to that one-off Jinma launch coaster that was supposed to open at OatL?
Might have to pick up that #1 shirt with Gwazi on it!
haha, yeah I didn't know if anyone would buy it but I wanted to check and at least see. Hope you are well my friend - thank you :)
