My name is Chance, and I am new to The Season Pass. I ran into Doug at Holiwood Nights and decided to come check out the site. Thus far, I am impressed and actually like the smaller size, its a nice change of pace compared to Coasterbuzz where everyone seems to hate new comers.

Anyways, I am going to school at Iowa State University in Ames, IA for Mechanical Engineering. I grew up near the twin cities in Minnesota so Valleyfair has always been my home park and I have spent too many days there to count. A few years ago I began traveling to other parks and began the transformation into an enthusiast. since then I have racked 150 coasters at 27 parks.

This summer I am taking a MASSIVE trip all over the eastern half of the country and would be glad to answer any questions about it!

I look forward to becoming more involved here!

Hey, I just listened to your review of Seabreeze this morning and I must say I am now rather happy I added that to the agenda.

Given your location and avatar I'm going to assume that you have been to several parks on the coast... what are some of your favorites?

Welcome! Valleyfair is my home park as well. Nice to see another Minnesota native!

Minnesota? NEVER! Wisconsin, but I literally live on the St. Croix, so Im closer to Valleyfair than the Dells.

But yes, I will be going do Darien as well. My trip starts this Friday at Six Flags St. Louis for Daredevil Daze on Saturday. It wont be done until right before school starts up again around August 21. If anyone would like to meet up along the way (or offer me a place to sleep/shower) I'd love to meet some fellow enthusiasts!
