I know that Dollywood/ACE is having an (Smoky Mountain CoasterStorm '04 - info here -> http://aceonline.org/flyers/coasterstorm04.pdf) Event on Friday March 26th, 2004 for a Preview that day. This is the day before their Passholder Day which is on Saturday, March 27th, 2004. And Opening day a week later on Saturday, April 3rd, 2004.
I haven't heard/read anything from or about Hershey Park or Knott's doing/planning anything, *yet*, for Storm Runner or Silver Bullet!
I just love those Theme Park-Coaster-Charity Events thingees... besides, I need some good (high $$$ Charity Auctions) Tax write offs for this year!
Thanks, in advance for any info!
I was thinking more along the lines of the Cedar Point-Top Thrill Dragster / Firelands Redcross VIP Ride Auction Event from last year (2003).

Dollywood and Hersheypark havn't done Chartible Coasters in the past, but it doesn't nesscesarily mean they won't. We'll just have to see.
Dollywood also has the Dollywood Foundation, which donates books and other educational material to kids in the area.
Note that all registration checks will be held until the status of the event is confirmed on or before March 23.
Does this mean you are going to the event, Kevin? I think Charlie wants to go as well. ;)
Joe, who agrees with Kevin who agrees with Robert
LOL
Joe: You do look good for a 28 year old.
GCI *is* building it...;)
Likely the park is being "optimistic" when talking with gamndbndr...
Kevin, congratulations...on BOTH fronts...:)
bill, thinking Dollywood might want to "consider their options"...;)

So are you guys saying that the official Thunderhead opening date of April 3rd is no longer going to happen???
All I said was that the event on the 26th isn't going to happen...geez.
And as far as who to listen to on this board on this subject, I'd just like to vouch for coasterpunk (seeing as he's the only one on this board who actually works for GCI) or myself, because let's just say, I know a guy. ;)
And Dan, I'll take your bet!

I had the pleasure of meeting "that guy you know" at PPP [where were you?] and we talked about Thunderhead. Please tell him that not only will it be in our 2005 Wood Coaster Calendar but it will be featured prominently on the cover as well! And it's not the only GCI in the calendar.
Ciao ;)
