Coaster Celebration 2006!

The Date: June 17th!

http://www.sixflags.com/parks/greatadventure/ShowsAndEvents/index.html

I didn't see this posted yet and, I know it is quite a few months away but, I want everyone here to keep it in mind because we would like to try and plan some things to kill the non ERT time. All ideas/suggestions are welcomed and, would be appreciated!

I will most likely be there. I have the car, I have the cash. What's stopping me? Nothing. I will finally get to meet everyone at once!

I'll be there. I'll have to put in a vacation request though.

I'll be there
- food
- 2 Hours ERT on toro
- Discount for season pass holders

I didn't go last year as they wanted around $50 and I was already on Ka around 65 times along with a few others on this site weeks before .
But I'm not missing a chance to ride Toro for 2 hours
also did I mention Food.

I went last year and it was a blast. The Nitro ERT at night was amazing, even if I did lose my keys and cell phone, and everyone was waiting in line for KK during the morning ERT so we went off and rode everything else alone since we already had enough of KK during the commercial.

Medusa, only people on the train
RMT only people
RT I was alone on one side and jglonek alone on the other. We really did race each other.

Great pics
yes I see some familier faces on that train
I think I'm on the right 3rd from the back blue shirt first pic  

those 2 days are the best times I ever had in riding coasters (or at least the most intense rides) in being a ACE member for the last 21 years

I have a few here.

Thanks for sharing those pics

I was soooo bummed that I couldn't be there for the shoot becuase I couldn't be 100% sure on 2 consecutive days.

It would figure that we ended up doing the GK shoot anyway on the last day of Ka's shoot (it was fun watching that chopper).

Back on topic... I plan to be there :)

All of us really need to try hard to support this event by being there.  I know its on the verge of disappearing (again) so lets show them how much we appreciate it!

I am with you Wade, part of me wanted to kick myself for choosing the GK commercial instead but, I wanted my kids to take the oppertunity to earn their own season passes and, experience something cool in their young age. I almost always put my kids before myself but, I also knew I'd get my share on media day :)

Wade is correct, please get as many people as you can to partake in Coaster Celebration. Attendance is important in keeping this gift from the park returning every year. :)

I  WILL be there this year 100%
I will try to bring some friends who have not even been to the Park in more then 10 years.
I keep telling them about these World record rides  they don't know what they are missing.
I'm a ACE member  how did you others get invited for the Ka shoot  ?

I will be there and yes they will have to kick me off the ride also

Note: I called the phone # for this event and they are closed till 1-3-06
anyone know details other then what is posted on the web  ?

Besides ACE, there were limited "by invite only" guests at the shoot.  The majority of which got in through this site  :wink:

I'll likely be a ACE member before CC2006 as well.

As for the details, they tend to get drawn up in the week or 2 before the event.  This has a lot to do with how many people register, the new ride opening, etc. :)

Ughh, couldn't it be one week later?  That's my finals, although hopefully I'll be exempt from all, I think I'm gonna need to take two.  I might have not been able to anyway, but it was so awesome last year on Nitro at night and Rolling Thunder racing.  I'd love to do the event again, especially with something to fill up the empty part of the day.

It is going to be awesome to have a majority of the people from the site at the park hanging out for the day. I can't wait for it :)

Hopefully we can tie in something we did with central last year at this years CC ;).  Bri and I from ECC were on Medusa during last year's ERT all along ;(.  And it broke down with us on the breaks...good times.  Hopefully KK will be squeezed into this ERT as well.
Great Adventure...taking over the world one record at a time.

Lori and I were there last year and we'll be there again this year!  Rolling Thunder is her absolute favorite coaster so with El Toro along side, we'll have a blast again.  

Good idea Di trying to plan something mid-day.  Last year, we ended up just walking around aimlessly waiting for night ERT.

We may be there.

Were actually re-thinking our 2006 plans right now. Well, for one we may not be in CA in a few months and second since Josh isn't 54" yet (and still a little timid when it comes to BIG coasters) we are thinking that SFGADV may not be the best park for this year. They don't really have anything that is 48".

I was not there last year but do they give out name tags ?
I know it's kind of corney but at some ERT or ACE events they do.
I know at the Feb. Eastcoaster event in Allentown (indoor event) they show the name and town on the tag.
It helps sometimes with sparking up a conversation and seeing that you only live a few miles from another attendee and sometime surprised that someone came from Florida or England.
I will bring at least 5 people or maybe more.
