robbalvey Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 -Justin "Thats more like the mid-northeast" Seabaugh Maybe to someone who lives in that part of the country, but remember that TPR has quite a large world-wide contingent of members, so just saying "mid west" is a much easier way to narrow it down. Hell, to me living on So Cal, all those parks IMO are in the mid-west! And who knows, if we can figure out a way to include SFSL or another MO park, maybe we'll add it, but we like to keep our trips so people can fly in/out of the same place and then basically do a circle. --Robb
TheStig Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Robb you have to promise me that if and when the Midwest trip happens, you go to White Castel!!! to be more specific, the one near Great America! If I cant go to Japan, Ill probably do this trip, mostly because I have school around the Japan trip time and Im already going to Spain with my school at the end of the year, but we'll see what happens!

Imhotep Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Wow, the midwest and japan trips sound great, Ill have to look into both of those. ^Of course, white castle is a must!! So much better than Krystal IMO..
SharkTums Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Just a note, I've updated Page 1 with a list and basic details on our trips that have been announced for 2007.
CaseyFish Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 And for those of you who were not on the UK trip but will be on other trips, you must know about the B.O.T.B.C. Otherwise known as the Back of the Bus Crew! If you sit in the back of the bus, oh well you will find out, I am sure you have seen others post about the back of the bus, and I think there is also a video of the back of the bus crew....LOL I cannot wait till the midwest trip, that is definate for me, spain and italy are tentative. I hope the Alvey's will allow me on the other trips, ahahahaha. I could say more but that would spoil some suprises wouldn't it? Take Care, Casey B.O.T.B.C. Charter Member You may know about us, but you have no idea!
Lord Turbine Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 See, I wish I could do Japan, but I can't, damn it.... it's too far.... but I really want to go to Japan.... erggh.... However, I think if it's at the right time of year, I can do the Midwest trip... I'll see what happens, but you may have a Tit on your bus.
Reon Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Like I said, I'll atleast be around for the OH leg. If I can find the funds and save a spot, I'll try to stick around for the rest. I'd love to go back to the Dells...
socalMAN123 Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Finally, a trip that I might be able to go on! My dad says there is no garuntees, but is maybe (0.5%) thinking about going. If we end up going, it will be awesome! ---Brent
CoasterCrazy Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 I'm defiantly going on the Midwest trip and I might go on the Spain trip.
downunder Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 I'd do Mid West and Japan if they were close enough together in terms of dates, if I had to choose I'd do mid west. Like a million other people I hope I get in, might enter the lottery as well.
CoasterFanatic Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 If we can make it to any, Catrina and I are really liking the Spain/Italy trip.
ParkTrips Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 I'll try to go on all three myself, with the Spain one the trip I'd like to do the most (yay for Katapult*), with the Midwest trip being a little lower in preference and Japan being even lower, only because of the time frame. I'll work something out though because sitting at home for these things SUCKS. - Joe *note - I find it funny that, like the UK trip + Lisebergbanan, a coaster that's not even on the "official" itinerary would be the one I look forward to the most
robbalvey Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Like I said, I'll atleast be around for the OH leg. If I can find the funds and save a spot, I'll try to stick around for the rest. I'd love to go back to the Dells... I think it's important to point out that we are not planning on "piecing out" the trips. Which means if you're on the trip, you're on the ENTIRE trip with us. Since we are limiting the amount of spots on each trip to one coach, which means about 50 people per trip, the park perks are only available to those members. We might make a few exceptions, but it will not be a public invite. Just like on our recent UK Trip, if someone wanted to meet up with us for the day, that was fine, but there was no guarantee that they would be allowed into the ERT sessions. If we allowed people to show up for the day and join into the ERT sessions, then there would be the potential for hundreds of people to turn up, and that's not exactly the point of our trips nor is it fair to those who paid the entire trip cost. Our goal is to have trips on a smaller, more personal scope, and to do them more frequently. This is a very different approach to other "club trips" but then again, I think that's what is going to set our trips apart. I hope this makes more sense to everyone. --Robb
CKY Lunatic Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 I missed out on the UK trip. I am soooo in for the US trip.
Loser_nerd Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Will there be an age limit for the trips, mainly the mid west one? Some one in chat mentioned something about having to be 21 or 18.
SharkTums Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 18 will most likely be the minimum age. There may be a chance for 17 year olds, but that will be discussed further in August.
Hercules Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Oh geeze. I guess I better start saving now and keeping tabs on this stuff because it seems like there is going to be a lot of interest for the one that I want to get into.
martinb Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Oh geeze. I guess I better start saving now Me to, I could be up for all 3 trips! -Martyn
benzo41190 Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 For that Mid-West trip (Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, etc) trip....would you have a approximate cost? I'm sorry if its too soon......just a guestimate.
niiicolaaah Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 ^From page one of this thread: More details on all trips including dates, prices, preliminary itinerary, etc to be announced in August.
OzCatter Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Ah, I was already planning on going to Japan for my graduation trip, now I can definatly do it.
okinawaboy11 Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 NoooOOOoooooooooooo I still want a East Coast trip Robb and Elissa!
Louise Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Well, Spain plus Italy is an absolutely given, I'm 100% in for that one. Midwest might be a very strong possibility, depending on the cost. Japan is a funny one for me, it's a country I've always wanted to visit, and I know in some ways it's worth it for just how screwed up the place is, but there aren't really any coasters or parks, other than Disney, that I'd be that excited to visit, so I'm thinking maybe waiting a couple of years and then heading over there on my own. Wouldn't be as much fun as travelling with the TPR lunatics but... We'll see. Three trips in a year on a student budget might be a little much.
