Coaster Celebration 2006!
« Reply #75 on: January 14, 2006, 12:01:02 PM »
As of right now I plan on attending... but with me trying to find a new job right now, I can't promise anything until the time comes.

It would be really nice if CC attendees got a discount price on QBot's that day, that would make it like ERT all day.

The ERT sessions are hard for me to deicde what would be better.. I like Nitro a lot more at night, but night rides on Ka, El Toro, and RT would be just as good... desicions, desicions... I guess I'll just have to wait and see what the park decides.  8)

As for shirts, I'm game for whatever... maybe we can get it to have the site name and Coaster Celebration '06 on it too?

Yeah, that sucks about Chiller...I hate to see it like that. Hey, so we should get a group picture or something ok. I'll call you later!

Thanks for the heads up.

Hopefully this isn't because of something with El Toro  :shock:

Well, from what I'm reading on rec.roller-coaster, it may be because of Cedar Point! :shock:

Coastermania at CP is also on June 3rd, so the move may be so that people who want to go to both parks will be able to.

I personally don't believe it, but it's a nice thought to entertain.

But why would anyone want to go to Cedar Point when they've been to Six Flags Great Adventure?

The event at CP  is a big event and has been going on for over 10 years.and it's a ACE event not a public event like Six flags will be.
It's that they may want the ACE reps and others there (GrtAdv)

I will be asking these questions this Saturday at Eastcoaster event.

That would be a good question to ask.  I have a feeling that Gadv is looking for some serious backing by the enthusiast community on this ride.  In fact, IMO, the last coaster at Gadv that REALLY interested the enthusiast world was probably Nitro back in 2001 so it has been a while.

It would seem to make sense to make sure this event is available to ACE.

If I am not mistaken (not looking it up right now), the CP event is Coastermania, which is a park sponsered event, not an ACE event.

Ether way, I think it is a good idea to push it off a week to allow those who would travel to do both.  I think they really were hurt last year when Putz had his event at Dorney on the same day as CC.  Alot of folks that would have done both instead had to choose.
The world is coming to an end, I've actually created a blog!

^ Feh..

The Dragster and Millie ERT should be at night, with the Gemini and Blue Streak in the morning. I mean, what's better than night rides on MF and TTD?

When I was at CP, it felt like I had three days of Gemini/Magnum ERT  :roll:

I dont get it, CP has TTD and MF ERT in the morning.

Last year, GADV had ERT on Kingda Ka in the morning! I dont know why they wouldn't want it at night...

Perhaps the beast is more apt to operate in the morning and they didn't want to push their luck....

I'm at Eastcoaster as I write this
The date is June 17th  Saturday
There are flyers and Kristen  also mentioned that El Toro should open late Spring  no date yet.
She also had a cool  Video of construction  from start to topping off  
it shown a lot.
She was very excited out the new CEO and talked about the experience that Six Flags wants everyone to have

Well, we were just going to spend a relaxing week in Pigeon Forge, TN with a little time at Dollywood.  We're going to get one of those honeymoon cabins in the mountains with a jacuzzi inside and a hot tub on the deck.  However, after Eastcoaster, I just have to get to Holiday World and Beech Bend so I think we're going to do a bit of driving to squeeze them in as well.

I have not been at the last years or any other past coaster celebration .
Does this one get crowed as this is open to the general public and it's on a Saturday.

I know there will be ERT  from 8 to 9:30am  then again late at night
and the buffet around dinner time.

thanks

I was there last year on the day of Coaster Celebration, but I didn't register for it. During the day it was a normal spring Saturday, but at night it got real empty so the ERT will probaly be really good in the morning and at night.
