Fleurlur Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Club TPR events in the UK would be great if you could organise them but if not I'll get my butt over to America to join in those ones =P =D We are working to sort something out during our UK trip this year...no promises yet, but I hope we can work something out! Stay tuned! You're awesome =D thanks for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The above is a list of RC enthusiast events similar to WCB that Club TPR members will have access to? Like with ERT and stuff? For what was it? 70 bucks or something? I didn't even know this stuff was going on! Are these other events as carefully and lovingly planned and executed as those initiated by the Alveys? Robb, you have my respect and admiration. Thanks.

RaptorBoyASU Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Guy and Chuck, Just a FYI, Coastermania ERT isn't usually much of an ERT session at all. TOO MANY PEOPLE. Or at least that's my recollection from when I worked there 10 years ago. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coasterfrk49 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 That's an awesome list, Robb. I didn't even realize that some of those parks are considering having enthusiast events. That's really great to see so many parks jump on board with special events. Thanks for all your hard work, Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockeydad Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I'm so excited I could just wet myself! Seriously though, thanks Robb & Elissa for your tireless work on making TPR the best place for enthusiasts to go. I'm esp. excited about the Beast/Diamondback walkback.

Sue Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 We'll be at Coaster Mania at Cedar Point this year. It'll be interesting to see if attendance is affected at all by it conflicting with Holiwood Nights this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are "park sponsored events" and yes they are similar to what we do at WCB, but they are put together by the park, not TPR. Most of them are more geared to roller coaster ERT and not all of them have presentations, trivia, and scavenger hunts, but that doesn't mean they aren't still AWESOME events!!! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 ^ Just slightly less awesome than TPR events. I am so asking for this for my birthday or on Christmas. Of course, if I get accepted to work at any of the places I recently applied to, first months paycheck is going right to club TPR. As stated by many in this thread Robb, you have my respect and admiration. The Club TPR... the decline of the acer regime Ghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCG2 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 omg cant wait to see you guys over at my home park (Wonderland). Hopefully they've fixed some other things around the park such as the wooden coasters (we really need a GCI, and badly) and made sure Planet Snoopy dosen`t suck.

Pingu1651 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Oh, another question. Do you think there will be regional versions in years to come? Say, the East Coast and Midwest for $30? I know the value would probably suffer, but it's a good idea or those who usually don't go out of state and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Starr Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Oh, another question. Do you think there will be regional versions in years to come? Say, the East Coast and Midwest for $30? I know the value would probably suffer, but it's a good idea or those who usually don't go out of state and stuff. I don't see it happening. It's already a great deal with parks all over the world, plus all the other benefits. There's a possibly of other levels of membership, but I would guess no regional memberships.

RCFreak Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I know the value would probably suffer, but it's a good idea or those who usually don't go out of state and stuff. Actually it wouldn't be a good idea as Robb has said before, a lot of parks are far more willing to work with clubs at a higher price point then one that "gives it away" so he prices it as low as he could already (meaning no you cheapskate it won't go lower ). And really, it would make it easier for them to just have one type of membership per club rather then trying to figure out which side of the country the card is actually good for.

dannerman Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I don't see regional happening, but I could see varying lengths... like $5 for a "day pass" good for only a specific day (may be too much for logistics or might actually hurt the overall memberships since you would essentially need 10 "day passes" to equal the year membership...) Or something like $10 for one month, $25 for 3 months, and then the $50 for the year. But really when it comes down to it... isn't Club TPR just about supporting the site to allow it to function and give us the awesome stuff we crave like the forums, Coastertube, and the trips, and all the perks and bonuses are just fancy, cool, awesome, extras?

He's right. I would give Robb $50 a year just for what we get with the site now. Extra's make it even more magical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
