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.

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?

Thanks for the heads up.

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

Hopefully it is not because of ET... unless of course they are moving it earlier

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.

WadeJ · « **Reply #80 on:** January 14, 2006, 09:28:45 PM »

fyi - I was joking lol

There is no known problems with El Toros progress at this time...

Here come the rumors LOL

GADVwow · « **Reply #81 on:** January 14, 2006, 09:32:54 PM »

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

---only partly kidding...

ChuckR · « **Reply #82 on:** January 14, 2006, 11:14:18 PM »

Also when CP is 10 hours away!

PcMan · « **Reply #83 on:** January 31, 2006, 12:45:53 AM »

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.

WadeJ · « **Reply #84 on:** January 31, 2006, 09:57:47 AM »

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.

Cyclonic · « **Reply #85 on:** January 31, 2006, 11:54:12 AM »

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.

PcMan · « **Reply #86 on:** January 31, 2006, 03:07:18 PM »

^ 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:

ChuckR · « **Reply #88 on:** January 31, 2006, 11:49:03 PM »

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...

GADVwow · « **Reply #89 on:** February 01, 2006, 08:26:34 PM »

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

PcMan · « **Reply #90 on:** February 04, 2006, 02:05:58 PM »

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

ChuckR · « **Reply #91 on:** February 04, 2006, 04:30:12 PM »

Thanks for posting that. I saw that video during the student Media Day for Toro, it was really good!

June 17th is a bummer since Rich and I will be on our honeymoon at that time. I really wanted to go to CC! :cry:

Sue

CoasterPete · « **Reply #93 on:** February 07, 2006, 02:00:34 PM »

Well Sue, that's a pretty good reason for missing it.

Lori and I will have to take a few extra Rolling Thunder rides for you guys.

Me and the boys are going to TRY and attend the wedding! I assume you and Rich have coaster honeymoon plans or, are you doing the traditional style honeymoon?? LOL Rick and I tried honeymooning in Atlantic City but, we ended up in Wildwood instead ! :shock:

coastersue · « **Reply #95 on:** February 07, 2006, 03:12:13 PM »

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 to convince my wife to let me go. Even though it is just 15 minutes from home, she will be 3 weeks from our due date, sooooooo....she might want me around!

coastermom · « **Reply #97 on:** February 22, 2006, 08:13:21 AM »

I think we have a sweet 16 that day i am not sure man that stinks every year I want to go and last year hubby refused and before that we always had some event june is always a busy month AHHH

PcMan · « **Reply #98 on:** March 02, 2006, 11:55:24 AM »

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

ChuckR · « **Reply #99 on:** March 02, 2006, 01:04:59 PM »

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.
