Theme Park Review's 2008 Group Trips. We need your Input!

[robbalvey]

Hey Great America World!

We're currently in the planning stages for what our TPR group trips for 2008 and beyond are going to be, and we could use your input!

If you are interested in going on a TPR trip next year or in the future, please fill out the following form:
http://www.themeparkreview.com/2008trips.htm

This will give us an idea of what everyone is interested, where you all want to go, and we can start to organize trips based around places you want to visit.

Remember that you don't need to be a member of any club to take part in one of our trips. Everyone from ALL clubs, organizations, and websites are invited! Although do remember we have a limit of how many people we will take on a trip (max. 100 people) so that ERT sessions REALLY are ERT sessions.

We absolutely ENCOURGE members of other websites to join in our fun! You get to experience a TPR trip first hand and you get to bring back great content to post here as well!

Again, please fill out the forum if you are SERIOUS about taking a trip with TPR and thanks again for your input! If you have any questions, please ask.

ps. We'll be at Great America in August! Can't wait! =)

cool, theres a East Coast trip.

[robbalvey]

^ Yup! That's certainly the plan. Seems so far enough people are interested in it.

Thanks for filling out the form. It really DOES help us decide which trips to offer in the future.

It would be cool...but I think there should be a Maverick add on

[robbalvey]

^ Heh...that's this year!

[tp41190]

So, but I'm sure everyone will want to ride Maverick. And it would only be like $150-$200 for an add to Cedar Point....seriously consider it!

Just like you should consider going to the Wisconsin State Fair for the Midwest Trip!

[cycamps]

Are there age restrictions?

[rct2wizard360]

I don't know if you're reading tp41190, but there IS Maverick ERT.

[tp41190]

^thats this year...but it would be cool for both trips.

We have announced our China 2008 and Tokyo 2008 trips. Deposits for all 4 of our trips are due soon, so if you're interested get your deposit in now! And if you are planning to send it your deposit, and have not done so yet, please email me at robbalvey@themeparkreview.com so we can "pencil" you in. This will help us with planning how many buses we will have, etc. You can download the trip flyers here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/trips/

In summary, here are the four trips we are offering in 2008:

Mainland Europe!
June 22nd – July 6th, 2008. Parks include: Disneyland Paris, Europa Park, Phantasialand, Holiday Park, Tripsdrill, Walibi World, Walibi Belgium, Heide Park, Efteling, Toverland, Parc Asterix, Bobbejaanland, Drievliet, Movie Park Germany, and more! 18 parks in total!

East Coast USA!

Parks include: Six Flags Great Adventure, Six Flags New England, Six Flags America, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Kings Dominion, Hersheypark, Knoebel’s, Dorney Park, Lake Compounce, Dutch Wonderland, and more! 12 to 13 parks in total! With the exchange rate in your favor, this is a great way for Europeans to see many of the USA parks at a really good price!

China Trip!

Parks include: Happy Valley, Beijing Amusement Park, Hong Kong Disneyland, Mysterious Island, Fisherman's Wharf, Ocean Park, Sun Park, Chimelong Paradise, Shijingshan Park, Pearl Land, and more! We will even spend some time at the Great Wall and other China landmarks "TPR Style" (meaning we go up to the Great Wall on a skyway and come back down via Alpine Slide!!!) 13 parks in total!

Tokyo Trip!

Parks include: Tokyo Disneyland, Tokyo DisneySea, Tobu Zoo, Fuji-Q, LaQua, Toshimaen, Sea Paradise, Cosmoworld, Nasu Highland, Yomiuriland, and more! 14 parks in total!
