Carnage Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Wow that seems expensive! Plus add to that these trips are in the middle of summer when parks are It might seem expensive, but it's a very good good value for what you get. In fact if you priced out this trip on your own, I suspect it would cost more then the TPR trip. The cost of rental car, hotel, and admissions really add up. Though, you might be able to do it for cheaper if you crammed 4 people in a hotel room to split costs. But even then, you'd be missing out on all the perks and ERT, so it'be debatable if it would be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supertrooper Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 The longest wait I had was around 18 minutes for Titan. What a specific estimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Like Larry said, we really can't do a group trip early or late in the season. Too early and you miss rides that don't open on time or have issues (I believe last years ECC US trip missed at least 3 credits because of this!) and too late the parks start closing midweek. The trips are a very good value for what you get. You really can't compare them to any other club trip. Try one out sometime and you'll see why we have over 90% of trip participants come back on another one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet many others can agree with this. But seriously....5 parks all around a MASSIVE state with special perks, transportation, accomodation...and entertainment for that price? Deal.

fmulder21 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I went to Six Flags Over Texas. I am only interested in watching pictures and reports when you guys come back. Do not do ERT on Texas Giant, I had massive head ache. And I blacked out on Titan. Shockwave ERT is da bomb!I hate the damn thing....! Till i sat in the front seat! it was a blast. I was expecting to have broken my pelvis after the last times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try one out sometime and you'll see why we have over 90% of trip participants come back on another one! I can attest to that. I remember telling someone shortly after I returned from last year's Behemoth/Flyer trip: "That was a first for me; I've never written a $1,000 check to anyone before and then thanked them for taking it."

deano Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Awesome Robb, I wish that one day my wife and I could join one of TPR's trips, unfortunatly though, we are unable to head the USA this year. On the other hand, If you wanted to fly for 20 hours for only 2 credits, then come on over to Perth, Australia for the next TPR trip, Adventure World awaits all TPR members, (your dissatisfaction is guaranteed).

Joe21498 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I would love to go but I am a un-employed auto worker from Mi right now, so if anyone would like to donate to pay for my trip then sign me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozart67 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Hope you all have a great time on the trips. I still feel like a nard for having to bail on the Texas Trip, but it turned out for the best, financially, health-wise, etc. Have already started saving up for next year and it looks as though my wife (who rode her first coaster--Boulder Dash--in 30 years last year) may be joining a trip also. Live to raise hell and remember it well Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
