I'm planning on it, but nothing 100% confirmed till I'm there.

First time for me too.

The Reess Family will be there! :-) Can't wait!

AV Matt · « **Reply #3 on:** July 02, 2010, 11:54:10 AM »

Then add your name, DIana!

Are just the boys coming along?

1) DKNY6363, aka derik, aka Canada + his knoebels virgin Cousin also from Canada.
2) AV Matt
3) Edwardo Clint (he's coming or I'm gonna kick his butt)
4) Diana Reess
5) Rick Reess
6) Austin Reess
7) Dane Reess
That's how it's done.

And remember, the following day (Sunday) is Hangover Day and is not to be missed if you can stay in the area. Skipping it for other parks is just wrong! You get the same great handstamp deal as you do on Saturday and the park is usually dead. Getting the final ride of the year on the Bumper Cars is a blast. Last year we got a quadruple length cycle (over 10 minutes of insanity)!

Sunday is my thanksgiving. MY's cousins wife is PISSED! haah that means my job is done. But I actually have to wake up super early on the sunday to drive home for my own gathering, and to get him to his.

AV Matt · « **Reply #5 on:** July 02, 2010, 04:27:04 PM »

Ah bummer. That's too bad it will have to be so rushed for you.

dkny6363 · « **Reply #6 on:** July 02, 2010, 05:09:47 PM »

on the bright side I get home from a 5-6 hr drive, walk into a house smelling like turkey, stuffing, pumpkin, and apple pie... could be worse.

Does Knoebels have a dog sitting service? Or do you just tie them up too wood supports?

AV Matt · « **Reply #11 on:** July 03, 2010, 11:22:58 AM »

No, we let other people watch the dogs while we ride, lol. At PPP, Rob and I both know about 50 people there, and it's usually not hard finding people who want to play with the dogs for a bit. Knoebels is a haven for dogs. You'll see hundreds of them there.

That said, I may do what Rob did last year and save Charlie's appearance for Sunday when we're not in such a rush to say hi to all of our friends visiting. Sunday is a much more laid-back atmosphere.

Robert T Ackerman · « **Reply #12 on:** July 04, 2010, 11:11:34 AM »

Yeah, Sunday was certainly the better choice. It was dark, much more crowded, and I wanted to get my riding on Saturday night. Sunday, I think I only rode a small handful of rides and just let Kumba meet everyone. I also had an actual killer hangover on hangover day... go figure

AV Matt · « **Reply #13 on:** July 05, 2010, 02:43:53 AM »

Gee, I can't imagine why.

How busy is PPP in comparison to a weekday in the summer?

PPP is not about how busy or not busy the park is (in recent years it has been very, very busy....the park is open to the public nowadays).

It's about the experience, which cannot be duplicated.

AV Matt · « **Reply #17 on:** July 06, 2010, 12:39:46 PM »

A weekday in the summer is typically lighter on the crowds (except for bargain nights), but many/most of the people at the park during PPP are there for the coinciding Covered Bridge Festival, not the rides. So the lines aren't much worse/different. Trust me, you'll get a LOT of riding in if you're there all day. The only ride that may be too long of a wait would be the Motor Boats, which I highly recommend you go to first thing at opening before it gets a line. It's a quirky ride you probably won't find anywhere else.

WadeJ · « **Reply #18 on:** July 06, 2010, 02:21:44 PM »

I likely won't be losing my PPP virginity this season either. I have a trip to Vegas already scheduled for work and a family vacation as well right around that weekend. And somewhere in there I need to squeeze in HHN as well. October will be busy!

DianaR · « **Reply #19 on:** July 06, 2010, 05:15:15 PM »

I'll vouch for that!! There is something about PPP where everyone is harmoneous and enjoying the park even if people are there that they may dislike. I've yet to see an un-happy guest during PPP. I just love getting to see my out of state family/friends! Oh and my kids and husband love the park to.

Just got home from a 2-hour stop with Shoe. We rode Phoenix 4 times, Twister once, Bumper Cars once, Cheese On A Stick and Shoe finally experienced Fascination and a round of Coverall even. Great little visit on our way back from Kennywood, which was awesome as well, despite getting poured on last night.

I'm gonna have to take a roadie with you guys sometime in the future, I really want to hit up Knoebel's when flying turns finally opens...

AV Matt · « **Reply #24 on:** August 22, 2010, 10:02:56 PM »

Don't hold your breath on it opening anytime soon. Black Diamond is most likely going to take official riders before the KFT does.
