alilstronger Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I must be that slow... Where do you get the pictures to post on friends pages on FB when they donate? I have looked through both First Giving and Coasting for Kid's websites and can not find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomNick Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Awesome to finally see some Dorney details! And I love the assortment of different coasters this year! That's a cool surprise to see. Can't wait for June 9th!! Besides, I feel like I'm warmed up now after yesterday's Media Day for GateKeeper! By the way, congrats on reaching your initial goal Sue!

TyRush Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Do we have to leave after 5pm? Just curious, i will probably want to leave anyway after that awesome day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alilstronger Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 ^ You do not have to leave. I stayed last year till closing. I am glad to see the assortment of rides this year for Dorney. I am confused why parking is included at some parks but not others? Also we if we have a cedar platinum pass do we have to pay still? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sspaz1000 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I didn't pay last year with my Cedar Fair plat. pass. I told them I would but showed my season pass and they got in. I think it will depend on if this year they have people working the parking who actually know that there's an event going on in the park that day.

Defcon62 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Am I the only one thinking its kind of crummy the park is charging the fundraisers a $15 parking fee? Part of me realizes that yes the park is making a huge donation by hosting the event but I really doubt it would kill them to let participants park for free. Also yay for Geauga Bags o Crap!

jerryd Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I just signed up for Valleyfair this morning after the company's GM said he would support me! After last summer being lost due to moving and other activities, this will make a great comeback and my visit to VF on Saturday made my decision easy to participate! This should be a fun event!

I do agree but after I sat and thought about it. Its not like we are paying to get in (even though I have a platinum pass) and we get free lunch. Even though last year for the same fee we got breakfast, lunch, a t shirt, and fast pass. I think the fast pass was taken away because for one thing at Dorney you did not need it. It was not crowded at all. All that we truly needed it for was the Wild Mouse. Also I think because most people did not stay at the designated ride for long periods of time knowing they could take advantage of the line skipper.

PhantomNick Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 ^ Agreed. And it makes sense that they ditched the Fast Lane offering, since GKTW incorporated that as a prize for raising $1,000. You really are getting so much from the park for participating in this awesome event! Not to mention the great feeling of what you've done to support GKTW!! In regards to the parking specifically, the only thing I find somewhat interesting is that some parks charge for it on the event day, while the majority do not. It looks like Michigan's Adventure and Kings Dominion are the only other parks besides Dorney charging for parking that day. I would've thought Cedar Fair might make a universal decision (all parks charge or all parks don't), but I guess they left it up to the parks individually? Only a little over 3 weeks away! Can't wait!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolercstrluvr Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 As much as I love this event and have done it in the past, it's hard for me to even say that i'm not doing it this year. I wouldn't have been able to even go last year until Robb basically donated the money to have me go. So I don't even know what to do, I want to sign up and attend this amazing event again, but I don't want to just rely on Robb to donate the $75 just so I can go. What is everyone's thoughts on this, should I still sign up or not bother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is everyone's thoughts on this, should I still sign up or not bother? Some options: -I would first reach out to friends/family and see if they would donate before you sign up. I sent a email to specific people at work asking if anyone would be interested in donating since we are not allowed to send a mass email company wide. -Would your job or another local business sponsor you? -I am sure if you come up with a clever game or something along them lines with TPR people from here will donate. -Do you have anything you can sell on eBay or Craigs List? I just made $77 selling my old used iPod Classic on eBay actually. -One last step would be to try a crowd funding website that allows this type of ad. Also not sure if this allowed - Maybe Kara/Robb can answer that? ^ Agreed. And it makes sense that they ditched the Fast Lane offering, since GKTW incorporated that as a prize for raising $1,000.

Can't wait!! It does seem odd they are doing that with the parking. It is just like the season pass discounts. Some of their parks give it out right no matter how much you spend while some you have to go to customer service and buy play money to get a discount.

RaptorBoyASU Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 It looks like Team TPR is doing great across the board. First place at every park that there are participants.....wouldn't it be awesome though if a team TPR member was in the top 3 at every park too? Adam D'Amico is tied for 3rd place at King's Island right now. Who can help push him up into that top 3 for sure? http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/adamdamico/KingsIsland2013 Gregg Condon is only $50 out of first place at Knott's. http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/greggcondon/KnottsBerryFarm2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Hey guys, I'm new to the party but I was waiting for the event details to come out since I wanted to be sure that I could commit and it took them awhile for Dorney. This will be my first year participating but I'm really looking forward to supporting such a great organization as a member of Team TPR! Here is a link to my page!
