SharkTums 204 Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 Our trips are a little different to how the ECC does them. If someone from the local area wants to come and meet up with us, they are more than welcome to come hang out with the group, but they wouldn’t be able to partake in any ERT sessions, meals, etc. Part of the appeal of our group trips is that an ERT session will NEVER be more than 100 people and it makes for a true ERT instead of some sessions I’ve been to where you end up waiting in longer lines than during normal park hours. With nearly 25,000 members to TPR now, if we allowed locals to join into our ERTs I worry that we may end up having double or even triple the amount of people. Having said that, we did allow locals to meet up with us in Europe since our group was only 50 people and that went fine since our entire group was never over 75, so it might be something we will work out closer to the date if the east coast tour doesn’t sell out. Keep an eye on the forum for up to date information. And as always, we welcome anyone to come meet up with us during the normal park hours and say hi! Hope you understand!

Jakizle 11 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I am VERY interested in the East trip, and my parents seem pretty cool about it, and asked me to print off the flyer. Hopefully I'll be able to join! I am also interested in the Texas trip, but would be more interested in meeting up at one of my SA parks than attending the entire trip as I will have gone everywhere by then. But all that stuff comes later. Thanks R&E! Link to post Share on other sites

OzCatter 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 The Europe trips is going to be my bullseye, I got $250 coming to me anyways from owed money, and I gotta get a new job anyways. I hope that this can work out for me Link to post Share on other sites
JimmyBo 4 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I'm not going on a single trip next year because my parents won't let Robb and Elissa be my parents for two weeks. It's that they don't trust me it's just that they don't trust Robb and Elissa! ^Sarcasm for those of you that don't get my sense of humor. I'll be on the Europe trip and I'll bring you the deposit this weekend. Ryan, Silent K or as I now call him after the Spain trip Sleepy K, will be coming to Europe as well!

spongeyguy 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Hey maybe I can meet up with you on the east coast trip.

redfoot12 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Argghh--looks like the best I may be able to is the Texas trip. Really wanted to go on that Europe trip. I take it that the Southern Cal trip won't happen in 2008? Link to post Share on other sites
Foolilo 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Hey whoever reads this first. It says in your flyer that anyone of the age 16 or 17 must be personally approved by Theme Park Review before being able to attend one of your trips. I was wondering how you guys manage to do this? And how would I get approved? Oh yeh, there's a small misprint in the flyer's fine print. It says we would get back on Sunday night 8/17/07. Link to post Share on other sites
AtomixIGN 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I'd kill to grab my girl and go on the east coast trip.. Lot of days. I'd pay 500 to 1000 per for two to do the NJ PA part of the tour. i imagine that's the 4 nights part of the trip. Link to post Share on other sites
robbalvey 89 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Oh yeh, there's a small misprint in the flyer's fine print. It says we would get back on Sunday night 8/17/07. You've been disapproved. --Robb Link to post Share on other sites
SharkTums 204 Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 Yeah, it's looking more like SoCal will be 2009...but there is still a chance we will do it in conjunction with the normal SoCal March events in 2008. Link to post Share on other sites
redfoot12 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 ^ I was actually surprised at the thought of you two running 5 TPR trips in one calendar year. Don't spread yourselves too thin! I'd love to meet up with you guys at KD and BGE if I can't do any of the other trips. I've been to those parks so often and on dead days that ERT wouldn't be missed by me. Hopefully KD will have a new really good coaster to offer (even if I think it'll be GL's Dominator). Link to post Share on other sites
spongeyguy 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I know this is off topic and im sorry but is KD suppose to get a new coaster? or is there any talk of it? I know they were bought and all that and they expanded the water park but are they getting another coaster as well? Link to post Share on other sites
RIP Psyclone 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Aw, I was really hoping for "Schwartzkopf shuttle loopers around the world"! I'll try to do one or the other. Link to post Share on other sites

No idea, but this really should go into the "Rumor Super Thread" and not the 2008 trips thread. --Robb Link to post Share on other sites
philthephorce 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I'm aiming for the East Coast trip! How fast do spots usually go? I probably won't be able to deposit anything until the end of the week. Link to post Share on other sites
SharkTums 204 Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 ^That's not a problem. Everyone has an equal chance of making it as long as your deposit is received by the end of September, however, it helps us out a lot the earlier we get all the deposits so we can start working on all our options to make sure everyone who wants in, can get in!

hyyyper 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Ok, wired the deposits on both trips. You should get it by the 27th. I had the awesomest day at Toverland last July....i wonder what a whole trip would do to me... Link to post Share on other sites

Dirk_Ermen 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 awesome trips there, i'm first heading for the europe trip. Maybe me and my mom could join the east coast trip. Let's first see if i can get permission to join these trips. They look tons of fun! Link to post Share on other sites
Nightmare500 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I'm planning on taking my first TPR, by heading to the east coast. I'm trying to talk a member or two from Coastersims.com into going; just because I know them a lot better than this bunch of people. Link to post Share on other sites
gotdane 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Europe 2008 is sounding like its going to be ridiculously awesome. Now I just have to tell my grandparents I'll be going to Europe with you fools instead of them next summer. Link to post Share on other sites
Chrissie 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Hey guys, Im really interested in doing the east coast trip, however I am planning on going to Summer Camp next year and at the moment do not know when my end date will be. I don't want to take up a space but if at a later date I know I can make it and there still is space, can you still sign up? Also, say I finish camp the day after the trip starts, would it be possible to meet you all there?(if there is space of course...) Link to post Share on other sites
