RCCGB FORUM

Coaster Police

Hi all,

I've spoken to a few people about this already (smiler, Stevie B etc.) as they are reasonably close to Devon on the M5, however, it appears that there is a little known about Go Gator coaster on the pier in Teignmouth.

I have spoken to the owner of this, and he's happy for a group of us to come along and ride it. He has also said that he'll have some fun and get the local press involved for a bit of publicity as he doesn't often get groups of people from a coaster club turning up to ride a go gator!!!

I have arranged with the owner to do this the weekend following the Blackpool Bash... so the date will be Sunday 26th April 2009.

The pier/coaster opens at 10:00 so, we can all meet there for a take over of this, and a bit of fun for an hour or so. There's not much else there, so when we're finished, we can head over to Crealy (just the other side of Exeter) for the rest of the day and show some support to this Park also to make a day of it.

So there you go. Smiler etc are up for this, so if you are interested.....let us know below and i'll add more info nearer the time Very Happy

No there is not much at Teignmouth Peir, so I would highly recommend a visit to Crealy as there is plenty there for adults and children.

I have been twice and it has certainly changed over the years.

Check out the website at www.crealy.co.uk/devon

I`m in for this trip. Vicci may come along but wants nothing to do with the publicity or riding the Go-Gator. LOL
Says she is going off to do something else or hide. But up for the trip and Crealy. Needing the Crealy credits and hope to do the park before they have problems and have to remove the rides.

Could be a nice little club mini trip at this rate. Very Happy

Steve, surely you cannot place the London Marathon over the chance of scoring a Go-Gator? Where are your priorities son? Laughing

Okie dokie - now the Bash is done, some of us have a Go Gator trip to look forward to Laughing

First Trip of the GGCGB (Go Gator Club of Great Britian*) Shocked

*Blackpool Spelling of Britain

I'm going to call the owner this week to give him an estimate of numbers, and looking back through the thread i'm confused as to who's going Rolling Eyes

Confirmed - Me, Smiler, Jess, Nat, Steve B, Happy Helen, Coaster Andy (+2)

Maybe's - Dan, Adam, Mark, Vicci (??)

So what i'll do is say about 10 of us ish. Everyone's welcome, so if anyone wants to just turn up on the day - the more the merrier!

Anyway, simply meet at the Pier at 10:00 sunday morning! After i've spoken to him, if there's more to add, i'll post here.

Once we're done and have all experienced the thrills of a new Go Gator, we can head to Crealy for the rest of the day.

Spoke to the bloke today for final confirmation... I said there would be about 10 of us, maybe a few more, maybe a few less.... he seemed surprised that 10 would turn up! Hehe!

Anyway, he said that although he may consider installing a new grip rail, if it's damp we can't all go together, so I explained that we know the perils of overloading a go gator, and we'll all be fine.

Anyway... meet at the Pier in Teignmouth at 10:00 Sunday morning (26th April)... the pier opens then, so we should be scratching by 10:15.

See you there if you're going.
