Good news - extra seats sorted on the flight, extra coach sorted on the ground, extra rooms sorted in the hotels, and parks don't mind anyway, more the merrier where they are concerned!

So what that all means is - all 84 of you who have sent me a booking are going on the trip!  Laughing  Laughing

Confirmation letters and contracts will now be printed tonight and I'll get them in the post tomorrow.

Please complete and return as soon as you can.

Fantastic news, well done Nev, Gareth & Mike for arranging it all. Pete is forgetting that he is already in America so he can only go to America on the trip if they come over here first. See our US friends at Blackpool ??

And thanks from me to Gareth "BA Guru" Arkell for all his help over the past few days pulling in favours lweft, right and centre to get the extra seats on the flights.
And Mike in America for changing some of the hotels to bigger ones that can fit us all in!

Hi folks, got me forms today, two questions:

1. how/where do I specify I want to pay the single occupancy supplement of £230? At a guess, I would say mention in the Additional Traveller bit...

2. It says that "you are more than welcome to pay any installment at anytime from now" does that mean that I can send a single checque with the remaining balance?

Cheers,
Andy T

Hi

In answer to your questions:

1) Just include a note with your contract (due to increased size of group "single rooms" are subject to availability, as in some hotels we may need every room!)

2) Yes you can pay the full remaining amount, anytime from now (on one cheque).  BUT, if you don't, you must pay the next instalment by January 30th)

Quick update - there are now 87 members coming!  Very Happy

Is the figure of 87 just those flying out or is that the total including our US Friends? Is this a record for the most brits doing a single trip?
Will the hotels run out of orange juice and waffles - time will tell.

I still can`t believe I`m finally going to ride coasters in America!!  Surprised

Forms have been Posted!!!!!!! £100 raised - £1200 to go!!  Rolling Eyes

I still can`t believe it!!  Surprised

What a shame we won`t all be on one flight. I could imagine the mayhem we would cause the poor stewards.  Laughing

I still can`t believe it - Pinch me, someone, please!!  Surprised

Hmmmm - 87 of us?? Not many rides during the ERS`s then!!  Razz

I still . . . . . (you know the rest!!)

Back seat of Voyage, Ryan?? Hmmm, I don`t think so!  Shocked

40 weeks to go!!

Nev

Just a thought but if we are struggling for rooms in some of the hotels, why don't you get two single occupancy members and put them in the same room....problem solved....I know I know ....pure genius..

Please don't thank me, have this one on me

Don't you worry about that!  You'll get plenty!  In fact at Cedar Point they usually run 3 trains during the ERS's so thats 96 seats!   Very Happy  Very Happy

And on the Voyage, you'll be needing a recovery rest between rides!  Shocked  Shocked

Err yeah, thanks for that suggestion.  That would solve everything.  In fact why don't we go one stage further and put all of the single room requestees in one big room!  Yet another problem sorted!  Laughing  Laughing

Nev might correct me here coz he has the figures but I think we had over a 100 people   Shocked   on the trip in 2001 - nearly two full coaches.  Very Happy   Now that trip was a logistical piece of fun.  Cool  Back then we used 747s where poss and I could get us all on one flight. Now we use 777s and as this has a smaller cabin I have to split up the group.  Cool  But we all end up in the same place so no probs.  Very Happy  Very Happy

Steve,

When the club used to go every other year we would get over 100 people, now we go every year the last few trips have had about 50 members on each trip

Well done to Nev and EVERYONE for sorting out flights, hotels, buses etc - great job!! Laughing

Can't wait to go to all these parks again - particularly Holiday World and Indiana Beach - will be my 3rd time at both of these - they are fab!  Very Happy

And it will be great to notch up another few rides on Voyage - awesome woodie - I rode it 30 times on opening day and many more since - the Gravity Group rock!  Very Happy  Very Happy  Very Happy

And Ryan - I can't wait to ride Shivering Timbers with you - I'm a Michigan virgin!!!!!   Wink This is going to be a highlight for me - I have wanted to ride this coaster for years.    Very Happy

Look forward to seeing all the regulars on tour and all the newbies as well - you'll have a great trip.

***** PINK CONTRACT ERROR *****

On the pink contract it says all monies to be paid by March 3rd.
That is a slight typo and the final installment is MAY 3rd as stated on booking form and confirmation letters.

Sorry!  Embarassed  Embarassed

Sixth club USA trip, can`t wait. The Voyage and Shivering Timbers (my personal goal) on the same trip. Can`t wait to go back to Holiday World and try out the water park this time. Plus going to Cedar Point in a much more relaxed fasion this time. Water park and dozzy wonderings this time.

Cheers Nev.

Contracts sent off. Thanks Nev for arranging it all. Like Stevie says I too can't wait to visit new parks and get to ride new coasters (inc. the acclaimed Voyage and Shivering Timbers).

Another visit to Cedar Point is long overdue Smile as it will be 2 year's since my first and only visit and I've still got to go on MaxAir, Power Tower, Wicked Twister and Maverick! Magnum XL, Millenium Force, TTD and all those other great rides are so worth going back for.

Being more settled in riding coasters and drop towers and such than I was as a newbie, everything will be all the more enjoyable now. Bring it on!

Oh yes - drop towers.

I seem to have lost my fear of them - so probably won't be sitting them out anymore.

(Was at Edinburgh Dungeon yesterday - their finale packs a punch!!!)

Cedar Point should be easy to do all if it don't rain like it did last year. The rides are quick and loading and leaving the stations.
