Midwest Bash at Six Flags Great America

[robbalvey]

NOTE - If you are on TPR's mid-america tour, please DO NOT VOTE!

 

ALSO, THIS EVENT WOULD BE OPEN TO EVERYONE - NOT JUST CLUB TPR MEMBERS!

 

 

Hey everyone!

 

The purpose for this post is simple. I need to know if you're interested in Theme Park Review holding "Mid West Bash" at Six Flags Great America this year!

 

It would be on Friday, August 13th.

 

The cost would be about $35 - $40 for season passholders and about $55 - $60 for non season pass holders.

 

It would include morning and night ERT, backstage tours, a group lunch, and lots of the fun you've seen at other TPR Bash events!

 

I need to know if you're SERIOUSLY interested, like actually would be going, not just voting in a poll to vote in a poll, as we need to make plans with the park. So please, vote in this poll and email me at robbalvey@themeparkreview.com and let me know if you'd be interested!

Should we refrain from voting if we're on the MidAmerica tour?

[dandaman]

Sonofa... I voted yes because I'm DEFINITELY interested in this, but I head back to school the week before.

 

Chicagoans, GO TO THIS EVENT. Theme Park Review Bashes are amazing!

If you are on the mid-america tour, please DO NOT VOTE!

I'm not gonna vote cause there is no way I can justify going, but Illinoisians/Chicagians I would vote yes if I were you. WCB was amazing and there is quite a big "crew" of you guys. TPR events are the most awesome things ever, and you would be supporting the site, the park, as well as get to go to an awesome event!

 

THE BASHES AT EVERY PARK EVERYWHERE...TPR EVENTS ARE AWESOME GHOST

[CoasterWarriors]

Wow! Robb must have read my mind somehow and it actually came true! That would be incredibility awesome! I will be in TPR Heaven if this DOES happen.

[traincrossin]

I've been hoping for a Midwest Bash at Six Flags Great America ever since I heard of how awesome West Coast Bashes are. As of right now there is nothing on my calendar so i'm definitely going to go!

[thrillrider]

Count us in.

 

We were planning on doing this park in the next few weeks, but will hold off if there is going to be a TPR event.

[Marky Mark]

Hey Robb...that's a yes for the wife and myself! No doubt!

[tsmcdon]

Yes I would. Already putting in for vacation at work just in case this happens.

[dammie16@vt.edu]

I am not going to vote. I am more then interested and would have no problem going, but I get off work at 6am and its 4ish hours from Sandusky so I wouldn't be there til 11ish. If its thought to be still worth it I will vote officially. Thoughts on potential schedules? Thanks!!

[the ghost]

^ I dont know anything about official schedules, but there is always night time ERT at these things on all if not a vast majority on the coasters.

The midwest bash would be at Six Flags Great America, not Cedar Point.

[Nisshoku]

I'd love to go!

[CoasterBone]

I would be all up in this!

Remember - I'm just gathering "interest" right now. If enough people are SERIOUSLY interested, we can do an event.

If this does happen, I will have to arrange Jason Voorhees to make his appearance. Also will need set up a Salt Booth to sell to anyone who is really superstitious about the day being "Friday the 13th" so they can buy a bag or two and throw salt over their shoulder before every coaster they go on. Hey it's easy profit! LOL.

I believe he's saying that he will be in or near Sandusky when he gets off work and would then have to travel west to Chicago.

 

As for me: I'm somewhat interested in this but not definite enough to vote either way.

[jbarner14]

I was planning on taking a trip out there this year so this sounds like the perfect day to do it!

[Mr. Starr]

I'm interested! As in, if I could sign up now I would, and I would be bringing 2-3 people!

[PAL]

Nope, not this time. We're already committed to an east coast swing a short while later to experience Intimidator 305, and can do only one or the other.

 

Sell it to me. Other than they haven't been, why would someone choose this park over any other?

 

ANYONE who can get there should definitely go. Rob's Bashes are in the not to be missed category.

[kumba830]

After all of your hinting Robb you FINNALY announced it.

I am extremely interested, and most likely should be able to go!

You would need like 10 cameras.

[Six Flags Enthuseast]

I am interested, but I can't find a way to attend. So I checked no. But I still think the idea is pretty cool!
