Do "Non-Bay Area" member's opinions count or are they immediately null and void?

Medusa ERT (assuming it would be offered) is worth the drive up there alone

[jbottgen]

I was thinking about the Bay Area Bash if it was in May again, but right now I am focusing my attention on attending the East Coast Bash during the same weekend.

[R.C.]

I would be interested if I can get the time off at work. Unfortunately I'm most likely loosing my vacation days in May, when my company gets bought out, which means I won't get paid when I take days off...

[Twister II]

I'm interested! I think both parks would be awesome! Would lodging be included?

[robbalvey]

^ No. This isn't a TPR trip. more of a "meet up."

Hitting up both parks in the same weekend is the best way to experience both parks, especially when there's ERT involved!

 

Depending on which way you go, there are several hotels/motels in between SFDK and CGA. Last year I drove almost all the way to CGA, after the day at SFDK, and stayed at a Motel 6 right off the freeway. It worked out perfectly, I had plenty of time in the morning to take a shower and eat breakfast and I was still the first person waiting in line to get into the parking lot at CGA.

[SharkTums]

I would highly recommend the Avatar Hotel near CGA. It's where we stayed for the West Coast Trip and the Bay Area Party Bus Trip.

Like Robb said, this event is open to everyone, not just those who live in the Bay Area.

[DJeXeL]

Thank you guys for putting together a trip even though you aren't able to attend personally.

[MrJazzHands]

I used to go to CGA every year for my birthday when I lived in Cali, so I'm super down for this "meet up".

[AshCampbell]

I would be interested in going to both parks. I'm local to the bay area, so I will not need transport to/from southern California.

[Angry_Gumball]

I'd be game to check it out, as frequent as I go to CGA meeting fellow TPRers would be awesome! And ERT if it happens. Id be interested in both days. I'm due for riding a new attraction anyway.

[Chrisrad]

Wow, just realized I'll be on the East Coast during this trip.

 

Sorry for adding a 'false' vote to the count.

[Twister II]

So who is gona get put in charge of our group so we can start sending apology letters and schedule their therapy now?

[SharkTums]

^Don't worry, if the event goes through one of our trusty Moderators will be in charge.

[Fire2box]

I don't think I honestly would want to go to CGA, but Discovery Kingdom I am completely down for.

 

The dolphin, seal and shouka ( killer whale) shows were a lot better during fright fest too. They got in the water with the seals and dolphins... in October. <_>

 

Hopefully this means this new season will feature more of animal and trainer tricks/stunts.

[Mechanic]

I'm in for both days, and will have to take a head count closer the actual event date. I do want to be sure to catch CGA's last year of operation.

[weathers]

I'd totally go if I didn't have a gignormous east coast thing planned already *cries*

[VegasCoaster]

Since I'm a recent bay area transplant and haven't been able to go to a TPR event due to lack of funds and or time, this works perfectly! I'd love to go. I wouldn't need transportation or lodging due to the being a local.

You sound like you're in the same boat as me. My time and funds are limited, maybe becoming less restricting now that I've graduated from college. Living somewhat in the middle of these 2 parks makes this event quite convenient for someone with limited time...all I gotta do is put in for a Saturday off at work and I'm completely free Sundays.

 

If this TPR weekend falls into fruition, what kind of costs could we be possibly seeing? Would pass holders for either or both parks have an advantage over a non passholder, or would this be a special price for both parks that we'd purchase through TPR?

[CoasterBeagle]

I'm good and considering that cga are still hiring for haunt this year (HR told me) then I think it will still be there.

[rcdude]

I wanted to go to Bay Area Bash last year, but unfortunately the dates didn't work out. This year, I have the same problem. However, I told my Northern California relatives about Bay Area Bash and they seemed interested, so if this event happens and has any special activities that are non-coaster related (such as last year's animal shows), I imagine they would probably go.

[Ace Of Spades]

Not sure how my schedule will work out this year, but I'd take any excuse to get back to NorCal this summer, and this would be perfect!

 

Thanks for trying to get this to happen again this year guys!

[Coaster Palooza]

I would love to go, but I umpire the World Series from August 4-11. I could do the previous weekend (July 30, 31) or the following weekend (August 13, 14). Are these dates "set in stone?"

[SKULLY]

I've never gotten to one of your events and this looks like it would be a great start, atleast in terms of Discovery Kingdom. As mentioned above, will there be many non-thrill ride type activities as it would be much more enjoyable if my very young boy could come along?
