bgwfreak Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Just putting a feeler out there to see if anyone is interested in joining me on my week-long trip next year (my only one for the year). I'm 99% sure this will be the schedule unless something comes up. Anyway...because I bought the MAXX Pass from Cedar Fair (woot!), here's the itenerary. Geagua Lake and Cedar Point are included in a MAXX Pass, but Kennywood and the small parks are not. Dates are still TBD (starts probably the middle of June). Day 1 - Leave from Charlotte, NC and drive 10 hours to Sandusky, OH. (This is negotiable, we could flip Kennywood and Cedar Point, but I like to get the longest drive out of the way 1st). Also I would prefer/consider flying if I can find a cheap flight. Day 2 - Cedar Point - Thursday before Coastermania Day 3 - Cedar Point - Coastermania Day 4 - Geagua Lake and drive to PA and hit one or two small parks Day 5 - Kennywood Day 6 - Drive 7.5 hours back to Charlotte Costs - Flight (if we fly) Rental Car (or we can take your car if you would prefer, my car has 100k miles on it). Hotels - TBD (I normally like nice hotels, but not expensive... like a Fairfield. I've had bad experiences at places like Microtel.) Food Extra spending money Disclaimer - PLEASE READ! While this is open to anyone, if I don't know you personally and not on the internet-only except for a few of you...like Robb would be fine since I obviously know who he is and we've chatted on AIM before. But Joe from ANYWHERE, USA that I've never met or never talked with via PM or doesn't post on TPR on a regular basis...I will have to decline. I just don't want to end up on a 5 day trip with someone I don't know and something weird happens. This is not one of those TPR trips after all. lol Also...if anyone would be interested (that are in those areas) of coming and just hanging out and riding some rides with me that would be awesome too! I love meeting TPR peeps! ANOTHER DISCLAIMER... For legal reasons and for other reasons, this would not be for someone under 21. I really don't want to be calling some kid's mother from Ohio telling her that he fell off Maverick because he was taking a POV. If interested PM me!!! Ask any questions here in the thread.
CoasterFanatic Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 I am really close to all those parks. I imagine that I will meet up with you at least a day or two.
J.R. Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 I'm 99% sure this will be the schedule unless something comes up. Dates are still TBD (starts probably the 1st weekend in June). Day 1 - Leave from Charlotte, NC and drive 10 hours to Sandusky, OH. (This is negotiable, we could flip Kennywood and Cedar Point, but I like to get the longest drive out of the way 1st). Also I would prefer/consider flying if I can find a cheap flight. Day 2 - Cedar Point - Thursday before Coastermania Day 3 - Cedar Point - Coastermania Day 4 - Geagua Lake and drive to PA and hit one or two small parks Day 5 - Kennywood Day 6 - Drive 7.5 hours back to Charlotte Be aware that Coastermania is being held on June 15 (third weekend in June) in 2007. Also, Geauga is having an event ("CoasterExt") the following day. If you're planning your trip around Coastermania, you'll want to move your trip to mid-June. Janna
bgwfreak Posted October 24, 2006 Author Posted October 24, 2006 ^ Cool! Thanks for the info! It's interesting that they moved it since they've done Coastermania the first week of June for a long time, if not always. Ted...No! Not the Zombie!! That would be great if you and Catrina (or just you if she's scared by me) could come up and hang out. Right now I only know of one couple that I'll be hanging out with at CP and of course at this point nothing is definete. ALSO... I've added another disclaimer at the bottom of the first post. Please read this if you are under 21.
ImAPrincess Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 I'm not afraid of you!!! I'm not afraid of anyone...I'm marrying Ted, remember?
SpartanTS Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 bgwfreak, I'm right down I-85 in Spartanburg, SC and i'd be interested in going. Me and the misses have been to CP for 2 str8 summers and have had a blast each time. As far as travel, we drove both times. The first year in my 97 Cavalier with well over 100k miles and last year in my 02 Explorer with a little over 100k. Neither had a problem making the trip, so i'm up for driving.
bgwfreak Posted October 26, 2006 Author Posted October 26, 2006 ^ Just sent you a PM. ^^ Catrina I knew my charms would win you over. Seriously though I loved getting to hang out with you guys at HoliWood Nights. Hopefully it will all work out for this trip next year. Missed you guys at C3. Come on Uncle Sam and employer (whose name can't be entered for fear of lawsuits)...daddy needs money for a coaster trip!
Dailey Enterprizes Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 I can meet you at Kennywood if you wouldn't mind the company of someone under 21. Haha... well I'll be 20 next year, but I live in Pittsburgh and it wouldn't be a big deal for me at all to hang out with you.
carolinacaniac Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Sounds like a cool trip, I would be up for it since the three parks are are fun to visit. The problem is that I am going to Michigan the week before with my girlfriend for her brother's high school graduation, and I don't think I could really justify going on week long trips consecutively to my manager. Although I am thinking about heading down to SFOG in mid-March, and it is possible that I may be flying solo, so if you are interested in meeting upthere or catching a ride, who knows?...... That goes for anyone else too, cause I need to be around some coaster nerds too!!!
