Title: PPP 2011?
Post by: chilled182 on September 06, 2011, 10:54:47 PM

Having worked my entire summer away yet again.. I'd imagine just about every junkie I know from the amusement industry says the same thing about PPP: Thank god its in October!


Is anyone going this year?

Depends how much I beg... probs like a 5% chance, lol.

Yours or Hannah's, Bubba?

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: Bubba Z on September 08, 2011, 10:39:28 PM

Mine.  Hannah's is during the CP Birthday weekend.

Post by: AV Matt on September 09, 2011, 01:15:01 PM

That's what I though. What's going on with your birthday this year? We should go to Lake Compounce again. ;)

Hopefully they even manage to fully recover after this flooding for PPP :(.  Hershey isn't looking too much better either.

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: Bubba Z on September 09, 2011, 02:20:42 PM

I did buy a LC season pass last year that I never used. :(      Knoebels will be open!!!  Hershey.... maybe by Christmas.

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: AV Matt on September 09, 2011, 02:22:27 PM

I bet they will be reopen next weekend. Knoebels is sadly used to this, despite this being the worst flood they've ever had.  PPP will happen.

Awesome! I wondered if anyone got a pic of that! Hahaha.

Worse than the flood in the 70's?  Those markers are unbelievable to look at.  I was there for 04.. the park was half opened the very next day. 


Di, where are you guys camping!  I think were right behind the office.  The whole ecc crew is going.. it's the only real event I can still get to since taking my job at Clementon!

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: DianaR on September 09, 2011, 08:15:58 PM

We don't camp Nick, Rick and I are to old for that lol!!! We make it a day trip believe it or not. :)

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: chilled182 on September 09, 2011, 08:24:07 PM

Hey day trips are all I can usually muster out these days.. I know how you feel!

Well regardless, you have to let me know which day you go ( Im assuming Saturday?)

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: WadeJ on September 09, 2011, 08:33:19 PM

Checkout their facebook for pictures.  I'm well aware of how often this happens there but just judging by how bad it's been everywhere else, I was concerned this time could be bad.

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: AV Matt on September 09, 2011, 09:34:10 PM

This is worse than the record flood in the 70s, but they've have almost as bad floods since then and haven't had too much trouble getting right back on their feet.

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: dkny6363 on September 12, 2011, 08:11:58 PM

34.7%

They are hoping to be opened by the 17th, and 18th.

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: AV Matt on September 13, 2011, 12:20:27 AM

Come on, you can do it!

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: Edwardo on September 13, 2011, 11:55:36 PM

At this point, unless airfare comes down significantly on the flights I want (I don't want to fly in saturday morning and leave sunday morning like last year), I probably won't be going.  May go to ATL that weekend and get my DDD credit instead.

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: dkny6363 on September 14, 2011, 12:04:04 AM

dinners, drive-ins, and dives?

Title: Re: PPP 2011?

Dare Devil Dive :-)

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: dkny6363 on September 14, 2011, 09:49:42 PM

Knoebels is open this Saturday.

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: Edwardo on September 14, 2011, 10:12:37 PM

It's official. I'm not going to PPP

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: Bubba Z on September 15, 2011, 02:21:50 AM

Skooters are still closed. Still waiting for the floor to be waxed and the motors to dry out.

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: AV Matt on September 15, 2011, 01:20:42 PM

Can you imagine going there without Skooters? Oh man! :(

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: dkny6363 on September 15, 2011, 08:36:11 PM

0 skooter rides lifetime... lol

I was only aware they were special as of last year. The same time I was learned about what flyers are. Not sure how I messed that one up. I think it had something to do with long lines, and even frozen apple cider played a roll.... lol

Matt next time you go to Knoebels PPP or otherwise. If they have that cider, you get that cider! lol and DO NOT get the green apple jolly rancher fake crap.

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: AV Matt on September 15, 2011, 10:49:43 PM

Not a fan of apple cider. :(

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: B-mac on September 15, 2011, 11:41:18 PM

I looooooooooooooooove Apple cider. And I love sparkling Cider eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnn mooooooooooooore.

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: dkny6363 on September 15, 2011, 11:44:21 PM

but it`s an apple cider slushie... its not as harsh as drinking pure apple cider.

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: dkny6363 on September 21, 2011, 08:38:16 PM

41.87 percent chance

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: AV Matt on September 21, 2011, 09:09:58 PM

The odds are getting better! ;)

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: dkny6363 on September 21, 2011, 10:00:05 PM

Only slightly... Who else is going. I might be riding solo. 5.5 hrs each way... this is why under 50 percent.

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: WadeJ on September 21, 2011, 10:22:37 PM

I was considering but now dropped down below 30% not that I have a crazy travel schedule in October.

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: dkny6363 on September 21, 2011, 11:10:56 PM

Wades under 30.... I must then drop to 39.213 ;)

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: AV Matt on September 21, 2011, 11:15:06 PM

AV Matt isn't enough to get you there?

Me, Bubba, Frissbeking, and about 50-60 of our friends.

Your cousin can't make it this time?

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: dkny6363 on September 25, 2011, 11:05:14 PM

"50-60 of our friends" includes you and anyone else I left out. Besides. I didn't know if you were going for sure. :P

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: Millennium Force 44 on September 26, 2011, 01:56:05 PM

excuses excuses... jk but yes I will be there. Not sure if I am staying over somewhere or anything, but will definitely be there for Saturday.

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: Ogolo on September 26, 2011, 06:07:29 PM

Since I never reserved a room...I'm probably just doing a one day Saturday trip.
Sorry no camping for me!

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: AV Matt on September 26, 2011, 06:59:57 PM

If you don't go both days, you're doing it wrong. Just sayin'...

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: dkny6363 on September 26, 2011, 08:36:14 PM

Hey Matt, did you guys ever get that fire going?!

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: Bubba Z on October 18, 2011, 06:17:38 PM

Title: Re: PPP 2011?
Post by: AV Matt on October 19, 2011, 07:22:54 AM

Actually, our friendly neighbors got the fire going while we were inside the tent about to go to sleep. lol
