CoasterFanatic Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 After meeting and hanging out with a bunch of great people last year, I figured let's try this again .... so .... The Second Annual CoasterFanatics/Theme Park Review PPP Breakfast Meet up and put some faces to the names that you have been interacting with for years. Everyone is invited and there is no special membership needed. There are no fees and you don't have to eat if you don't want to. This is just an opportunity for everyone to meetup and get to know each other. When: Saturday October 7th at 10am Where: Knoebels (International Food Court - Back of the park, next to the Log Flume) Why: Because we will all be there anyway. Why not meet up? Who: Everybody. Bring a friend! Cost: Free. The Food court will be serving breakfast starting at 8am. I hope some of you can make it. It will be great to meet you all! Post a reply if you plan on attending so I can add you to "the list". If you have any questions, you can email me at tedcromwell@gmail.com. Roll Call: Ted Cromwell (CoasterFanatic) Rich (coaster05) Melanie (Funky Badger) Rich's sister and her husband Larry (larrygator) Derek Ruth (DerekRX) Chris (HobbyM3) and Stacie Smilek Jay (Hercules) Katie (CoastinKatie) Mike (CoasterManMike) Bryan Wood (TheGreatOne) Scott Dermond (DragonOfFrost) Chuck (Rider117) Carl Merson (CoasterCarl) Going, but definately not doing breakfast: Craig (TokenYankeeBoy) Kyle (RaptorBoyASU) Heath (Rugged One) and Kim See you there!
coaster05 Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Rich (coaster05, UK trip) Melanie (Funky Badger, UK) My sister and her husband who are not members here. We will be a CP the night before and staying in Youngstown Ohio so I doubt if we can make it there by 8, but we will give it a try. We have never done PPP so are other restaurants open befor the official 12:00 starting time.
ImAPrincess Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Sorry I'm going to miss you guys! I like to stay home where it's warm and dry during PPP. No camping for me!
larrygator Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 I should be there, unless my car starts skidding off the road like last year. The rain last year helped contribute to quite a few accidents on I-80
coaster05 Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Larry are you going to join us for frightfest at Dorney on Sunday?
larrygator Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 ^Rich - Maybe, I'll talk to you offline about it, don't want to hijack Ted's thread.
Carnage Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 I would have considered it for sure, as that happens to be Canadian thanksgiving. (so the monday would be a holiday). But I'm more then likely going to be visiting relatives in Indy that weekend. My parents are bribing me with a visit to Holiday World to get me to go.
CoasterFanatic Posted September 14, 2006 Author Posted September 14, 2006 We will be a CP the night before and staying in Youngstown Ohio so I doubt if we can make it there by 8, but we will give it a try. The breakfast isn't until 10am. The food court OPENS at 8am. We have never done PPP so are other restaurants open befor the official 12:00 starting time. To my knowledge, the Food Court is the only thing open that early. It is where most of the employees eat before they start their shifts. Pretty good food at a really good price. Can't beat it. So ... I am going to go ahead and put you down on the list. It would be killer to catch up with some BOTBC peeps.
DerekRx Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Well, since the woman isn't coming now, there's no real reason why I shouldn't be able to make it to the park by 10am for breakfast. Besides, I wanna see some of the BOTBC! Count me in
coaster05 Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Then the four of us will shoot for 10 o clock as it would be great to have a BOTBC table at the food court. Sort of like the cool kid table in High School except this time I will be a part of it.
Hercules Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Chances are, I will be there. Rich - count me in for Dorney if I make it to PPP... that is, if I'm allowed to
Guest Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 I will be at PPP again, but I am not sure if I will be able to make the breakfast. We normally drive in that morning, but we shall see!! So put me down as a maybe!
TheGreatOne Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 As long as my money is good, count me in! -Bryan "haevn't been to PPP since 2003" Wood
Token Yankee Guy Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 I'll be going to PPP with Kyle (RaptorboyASU) tagging along. But we won't be able to make it for the early meetup since we might not get there till at least 4-5pm ish since I gotta pick up Kyle at the airport Saturday morning and it takes me at least 5hrs to get from CT to Knoebels.
Hercules Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 Is there anything to ride in the morning/afternoon? Jay "I'm a PPP newb" Willis
larrygator Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 PPP Info Rides operate as usual from 12-5, with a POP wirstband available for $18 PPP wristband for 5PM-10PM is $15. If you buy them both together it is $31
CoasterFanatic Posted September 15, 2006 Author Posted September 15, 2006 Is there anything to ride in the morning/afternoon? Like Larry stated, the rides will be open Saturday Afternoon. Since the Covered Bridge Festival runs alongside PPP all weekend, there are quite a few people there. The website always say that the rides open at noon, but some of the ones in the parking lot can open as early as 11am. It is a very casual atmosphere. Knoebels doesn't have wristbands but instead uses a stamp. Keep a close eye on friends and enemys, because until the ink dries it can be used as a way to "brand" your foe for the duration of the day. There is nothing quite like having "Phoenix" stamped backwards on your forehead! Over the last couple of years, the nights at PPP have been VERY crowded. If you plan on riding a good bit, you will want to plan on either doing it on Saturday or Sunday afternoon.
Hercules Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 Thanks for the information. I think I asked the same question last year too. Stupid me. Though, I was under the impression that not all of the rides would be running in the afternoon. Thanks for clearing that up.
bgwfreak Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 I so wish I could join you guys. Maybe Derek could teach me how to love beer!
Rugged One Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 Kim and I are coming to the event Ted but we probably won't be rolling in until between 1-2. I think we're going to stop in Selinsgrove on the way there.
DerekRx Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 ^Why not just be cool like me? Breakfast at Knoebels, lunch at Selingsgrove, problem solved!
