Because this isn't completely vague at all. :roll:

Dollywood is amazing and why would you ever question going there? They have a great collection of rides, but are lacking bit on flats and the food is phenomenal.

3 parks could be any 3 parks besides Dollywood in the world.

The UK is far better than Dollywood if you're looking for a nice pot of earl grey tea.

That hasn't been confirmed yet for all you know it could be a flat ride.

I'd do the Virginia/Carolina one. You'll get tons of good coasters and I'd probably rather that then Cinnamon bread.

I dunno, I've heard that that cinnamon bread is to die for. It might be a deciding factor if I was in this situation :lol:

TRUUUUUUUUUUE

Take it from someone who has eaten the bread of life and food of the gods. Dollywood is much better because of the atmosphere and the rides.

The cinnamon bread is so good it makes you violently ejaculate and can be used as a substitute for Eucharist.

Take the 3 park trip, I305 will make the whole thing worth it.

I didn't think driving 5-6 hours to King's Dominion alone would be worth it, but after riding I305, worth it is an understatement. Plus, you're getting to ride F325 too. I would do the 3 park trip. Plus, don't you want to compare Sheikra and Griffon? (Personally I prefer Sheikra, but you know... opinions)

Same here, it's why my coaster count is low. Still though, do the the park trip. You won't regret it, unless you want cinnamon bread

You can probably do KD in one day. Carowinds, I'm not sure, and you will definitely need to stay 2 days for BGW

Why do you need 2 days for BGW, that seems like the quickest of all them.

I think you should take the Carowinds-KD-BGW trip and hold off on Dollywood until next year since they might be getting a new coaster in 2016.

The coasters is what I care for

You pretty much answer your own question:
If you care for the coasters. Do your 3 park trip.
If you care for a great park with a great atmosphere and some extremely fun rides. Go to Dollywood.

Depending on the day you can do Carowinds (literally everything) in 1 day. It used to be my home park before moving to Georgia and I use to go all the time. Usually the crowd isn't to much even on the "bad" days. Longest wait I have seen was for Nighthawk and it was 2 hours (which is ridiculous) because they were running 1 train. Usually the wait is around 30-45 minutes for the major rides. and 5-30 minutes for the other rides.

However due to Fury 325 I have no idea if the waits would go up or not. I wouldn't think they would since everyone wants to go on Fury but I have not been since Scarowinds last October so who knows. I am planning to go in August with TTD03 again.
