coasterdude5 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Man, the Magic Springs/Frontier City add-on would've been awesome. Still... one trip is awesome too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 ^ Again, please don't focus on the Texas Add-on. It's not planned and it's not for sure that it's happening. Â I probably shouldn't have said anything or just responded via Private Message. Â --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 All trips are now at LEAST half full. Â Scandi only has 15 spots left. Â Get your deposits in quick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelD Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I have two questions about parks on the Deep South/Texas trips;  1. Nascar Speed Park - which one will we be visiting? 2. Schlitterbahn - will this be the one in New Braunfels?  Cheers  MichaelD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolinacaniac Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I would believe that it is the speedpark in Sevierville, Tennessee (Just outside of Pigeon Forge) since it has a credit while most others do not (the Myrtle Beach Location has two of the old Pavilion coasters sitting in the parking lot in pieces), and I think you have the right Schlitterbahn.

supertrooper Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 ^I thought one of the main draws to these trips is to meet new people. I'm not going to know anybody either. Â If I wanted to just hang out at a park with one of my friends, I could do that anytime. I'm excited about the opportunity of meeting new people with the same obsession. I need coaster friends.

SharkTums Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Robb and I sat down and decided that we REALLY like one bus trips, so all trips will most likely be capped at one bus. (We also don't like waiting lists!) Now, buses range in size from 37 - 55 passengers in most places so I can't give exact numbers left because I don't have buses confirmed for all trips yet. All trips are over 25 paid signups each. Scandi is at 35. Â Hope this helps! Â We'll probably have a trip chat this upcoming week so keep your eyes out!

MichaelD Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 ^Thanks guys - I'd guessed it was the Sevierville park because of the credit and because of its proximity to Dollyworld. Â Two more questions if I may; Â 1. Do the longer trips between parks (100-200 miles) tend to be in the evening or early morning or a combination of both? 2. Do you aim in general to get to parks at or before opening time (since that's the best time to get a quick sequence of rides)? Â Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fudgey Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Crap! I beter get my friend to go with me otherwise I won't know anyone  I would also agree that the as well as kick a$$ rides, ERT, lots and lots of extra perks and TPR craziness, the social aspect is the main draw.  If you are on the trip, you will get to know a lot of people - some very well and some not so well. I've made some great friends with people from previous TPR trips.  There are always one or two exceptions (as is the case with ANY large social group of people), which to be fair is normally caused by their own doing but you are ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEED to be made to feel really welcome and to have an awesome time with TPR. I couldn't recommend it enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 1. Do the longer trips between parks (100-200 miles) tend to be in the evening or early morning or a combination of both? 2. Do you aim in general to get to parks at or before opening time (since that's the best time to get a quick sequence of rides)?  Cheers  I've been on 3 trips and never has the morning drive before riding been more than an hour. The longest drives are usually at the end of day (but not overnight) as R&E try to be as close as possible to the next mornings park.  Everyday usually begins with being at a park before opening, as pre-opening and after close are the times that parks offer ERT sessions.  All bets are off on the Scandi trip as ferries (not just buses) are as a mode of transportation .  R&E and will be better able to answer specific bus travel questions once the Trip Q&A is set up.

MichaelD Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 ^Thanks for that - I'd guessed that would be the case as that is optimal for maximum theme park efficiency/enjoyment.  Cheers  Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacemtfan Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I have a quick question... Â My job (as a student tutor for Geometry students) is high-paying ($12 a hour), but I only get the money if someone sets up an appointment with me (which, so far, no one has). I'm sure I'll have the money by the end of the second week of January (when the school semester finals begin and failing geometry students want to study at the last minute). Â I know there really isn't a deadline for the initial deposit, but what if by the end of January, I turn in the initial deposit and then I pay the second payment for the Texas trip the next day?

Plus it would be my 1st time traveling by plane by myself so I'm kind of nervous. I'm really excited though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wood Dragon 1988 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 ^Agreed. Though I didn't do East Coast, I think it is great future trips will probably be limited to one bus. I am a shy person and got to know probably about half the bus in just five days. It was awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supertrooper Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 One bus does sound a lot better and more intimate. I joined ACE a few years ago, in hopes of meeting others and having fun with them. I went to one event, and there were too many people and too many cliques and I didn't really have a chance to get to know anybody. I was disappointed and didn't renew my membership...maybe I just didn't give it a chance. Â TPR just seems like more of a "fit" with me. I hope I'm right.

carolinacaniac Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 See, and here I thought that insted of having fun with the deposit, I simply sent in the sign-up sheet and deposit with a blank sheet (just to help keep the information from showing through the envelope)......oh well, maybe the next payment will be different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
