I can't wait for the start of the North East trip!!
Like others have said, if you're trying to decide whether or not to go, JUST GO!! I promise you will not regret it! I went on my first TPR trip last summer to the UK and had such an amazing time! It just adds another layer of enjoyment when you're experiencing a park with other enthusiasts. There are so many different and wonderful people to meet on the trips as well, from those who know exactly how much torque is used on the bolts on the second turn after the third hill on Millennium Force(or whatever, lol) to those of us who simply like to enjoy a ride with bunny-hops and loop-dee-loops.
Plus, Robb and Elissa do such a superb job planning out the trips. They are absolute experts when it comes to visiting amusement parks. I was particularly amazed at how they handled a little snafu one of the hotels made on our trip. Not only did we still get to stay in an equally amazing hotel, they threw in other extras to compensate! I especially loved all of the little surprise bonus stops thrown in along the way(though I know they can't necessarily promise that). I especially loved it when they were able to schedule time for us to get credits at a park that had already closed, so we were the only ones there! It was such an awesome experience!!
