ParkTrips Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 Someone tell Ryan that he needs to wear his RED Heinz shirt that day...
Hercules Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 Ok, wait, so that kid really wants to put the trip on his application for college? Â Say hi to the PETA members over there for the Running of the Nudes before the event. If Larry had impure thoughts about that acrobat at Clark's, I can't imagine what he might think there.
sirdss Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 Hello, Â I'm a bit new here and interested in the trip to Japan next year. I've been wanting to go to Japan for some time but have never been on a trip with a bunch of strangers before. Â How does this work? Is this more for people closely involved with TPR? Â Thanks

SharkTums Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 The trip is open to anyone, anywhere! Â People who know us, don't know us, know TPR, don't know TPR. No matter what you'll meet people with similar interests on the trip and have a great time.
TexTitan01 Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 Ok, wait, so that kid really wants to put the trip on his application for college? Â Â That "kid" was just asking a question regarding his future in the amusement industry, and a simple "no, it would not be of any benefit to mention the trip in college applications" wouldave been fine. You know, maybe I'll just shut up if everytime I ask a question I get flamed... Â Anyways, so it looks like there quite a turnout for these trips. R&E have you gotten any deposits from people outside TPR? Or is that something you'd rather not share.
ELZ Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 Can anyone from the UK trip fill him in on what it was like to meet 50 strangers all on the trip?  Who you calling strange?!  lol  Dude thats actually one of things im most looking forward to! Just meeting everyone! Everyone who goes on a trip like this has gotta know what it's like to have fun! Its not as if anyone is going to be that unsociable otherwise, well they wouldnt be on a theme park tour, and if they are...well this bullriding could sort them out, that or water pistols work well too!  Cant Wait!  Elz

Is this more for people closely involved with TPR?  Thanks  Don't worry about not knowing anyone. Most people on the UK trip didn't know each other and most had never met Robb & Elissa either. You will have a chance to meet others going on the trip here in the forum before the trip too. Besides, we all have some things in common like rollercoasters and visiting theme parks. Japan is an awsome country and what better way to enjoy it then with a bunch of people who have the same passion. This will be a totally awesome trip. I have been to Japan with 116 strangers and to the UK with about 50 strangers so if you have more questions, feel free to PM me or post them here.

Â Take it with a "grain of salt" (cliche, something that you should not use on your college application or resume). If you get to know me, you will see that most of the time I am just joking around and that comment means "No, it would not be of any benefit to mention the trip in college applications." Â However, I say that but you just asked another stupid question. I'm sure that Robb and Elissa do not want to disclose that information, as they have said over and over. Wait until the end of the month. Just chill.
niiicolaaah Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 Yup... don't worry about not knowing anybody... I didn't know a single person on the trip when I signed up for it, and by the trip rolled around I had only met 2 of them! And I had a blast.
roasted_marshmallow Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 Say hi to the PETA members over there for the Running of the Nudes before the event. If Larry had impure thoughts about that acrobat at Clark's, I can't imagine what he might think there. Â Hmmmm... what day is that? I may just have to look into that. Not that I'm into PETA, just that I think it would be fun.
Hercules Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 It's usually the day before the event starts I think. Don't quote me on that though.
coaster05 Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 Yup... don't worry about not knowing anybody...

Â Yeah but you are leaving out the fact that you totally rock. Plus everyone knows that nobody is cooler than teachers.
Carnage Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 It's usually the day before the event starts I think. Don't quote me on that though. Â Which would be partway through the Spain TPR trip.
DerekRx Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 Dude, I'm all about running with the bulls. Sounds like a great injury to get caught on tape. Now all I have to do is find one of my clones to be the stunt double. Maybe I need to look into that Bel Air Steakhouse place Derek, see if he's free.
thomas2 Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 Okay I got some last questions before I deceide to go or not (I admit, I'm a control freak ) Â -Do they have McFlurrys in the US? Â -If I pay this first deposit using Paypall I have to pay 205$? (I'm not stupid, just non-english speaking) Â -I never travelled so far by plane alone and I have to switch planes in Chicago. I did travel by plane alot, but always with my parents. Is it difficult to switch in Chicago? Is that a big airport and do you get lost easily there? Â -I have exact 45 min. between my arrival from Brussels and departure to Cincinnati. You guys think I can make that? Â -Does your english has to be really good to travel to and within the US? Â -Does anyone perhaps know a cheap airline between brussels and cincinnati? Right now I only know SNBrussels Airlines that fly between these cities. Anyone know another? Â Â Thanks for looking!
Carnage Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 -Does your english has to be really good to travel to and within the US? Â Your english will probably be better then 3/4 of the people in the midwest.
DerekRx Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 I think a 45 minute layover is cutting it a wee bit close, especially considering flights begin boarding 30 minutes before the flight "leaves". Add in immigration, possible baggage pickup and redeposit, and I'd say you should give yourself at least 1 hour 30 minutes or even 2 hours between landing in Chicago and departing for Cincinnati. Â Maybe you'll want to look into flying from somewhere else into Cincinnati, like Paris, or London.

Is it difficult to switch in Chicago? Is that a big airport and do you get lost easily there?  For you it will probably be easier to switch in Europe. Switching in America is asking for trouble. Why don't you take a train to Paris and fly direct to CVG from there?  -I have exact 45 min. between my arrival from Brussels and departure to Cincinnati. You guys think I can make that?  No, that will not work at all, you have NO chance.  -Does your english has to be really good to travel to and within the US?  Since you're going on an organized tour, no it does not have to be that good. You should speak enough to get by, but since we will be sorting out all of your park tickets, hotels, transportation, and some meals, there won't be much for you to worry about.  -Does anyone perhaps know a cheap airline between brussels and cincinnati? Right now I only know SNBrussels Airlines that fly between these cities. Anyone know another?   Thanks for looking!  Hope this helps!
gotdane Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 What website do you guys recommend as far as booking airline tickets and at what time? Â I was just foolin' around with some. You can only book up to August 2nd, '07 as of right now.
Carnage Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 Expedia, Travelocity, airlines websites,etc. Just keep checking them and watching the price. Buy when you think it looks good. Â But airfair is a crap shoot, it could go up or down at random times. For the UK trip I had my flight I was watching go up $200 overnight. I scrambled and got the same price elsewhere, but with a worse flight. Â These are all details though that will be gone over many times once the trip forum is setup. Especially closer to the trip. Â You'll find that closer to the trip details like airfair and anything else you can possibly think of will be brought up by someone in the trip forum. Â I spent quite alot of timing reading the UK forum.
larrygator Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 ^^you might want to wait until you know if you are accepted on the trip first, you have plenty of time to plan. For the record, I found excellent airfare for the UK Tirp in mid-February

And asking what they recommended.  And I have no doubt that I'll make it on the trip anyways.
matteocrepaldi Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 It's the first time I'm using paypal so I was wandering: how long does it take for a paypal payment to arrive to destination? How do I know that Robb had received my money? Â Also another question: when will I know if I'll be part of the group or not?
thomas2 Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 How do I know that Robb had received my money? Just PM him and he'll tell you  when will I know if I'll be part of the group or not? Somewhere in October, after the lottery (if that's needed)
