It's the frustration of this hobby 😂
As you plan your trip I'd seriously consider a tour of the parks in Pennsylvania. There are so many gems hiding at little places that don't get mentioned a lot. Knoebels is a must visit park if you're over here..... But Waldameer, Lakemont and Kennywood have serious gems.... That's not even mentioning the mecca that is Hersheypark.
If you have any questions as you plan your trip I'll be happy to help.... The east coast is my domain lol.
