125 Roller Coaster Challange

 

I started listening to the Trimmed and Stapled Podcast which is the podcast for the 125 Roller Coaster Challenge.  It is a fun podcast about theme parks and roller coasters.  I like that they seem to like all the aspects of theme parks and not just the roller coasters.  There is something about listening to a podcast out of central Pennsylvania warms my heart.

I just made a post about how I plan on getting 30 new roller coaster credits this year. Listening to this podcast made me think of what I would have to do to get 125 coaster credits in a season.  I If I was going to do this in one year, it would be tricky.  I'm looking at this right, I think it would take me at least ten weekend road trips to do this.  If I took a week long coaster trip I might be able to do this.  

Below is one version of how I could ride 125 coasters in a year.  Let me know if there are other trips I should think about.
