HoliWood Nights and discounts for CB Club members

Hey Bruce... are you gonna bring those killer hotdog thingamajigs again? Those were tit.

I'll be there. Promised.

Camper? Brian, Rob, Tim, Frank, Kyle?

Santiago? ;)

Love to, Matt, but I'm afraid we're going to be scheduling a 'Special Delivery' for that weekend, or the Tuesday immediately following the weekend. I don't think this one's in the cards for me. And here I am just hours away. If HW were as close to home for me as it is for Bruce I might've been able to make it (lucky nice jerk).

Sorry, Brian. I forgot about the special delivery you're expecting. How about May 6th then? :)

And Rob--definitely! We gotta get Santi out there! :)

I just got off the phone with him. As far as I know, he's IN! :):):)

Now I just have to figure out where to fly into, and if I'm willing to pay extra to fly into a close airport, or actually make my first trip to SFStL.

Robbio, highly recommend SFStL...and St. Louis isn't THAT far from Branson, either... ;)

The girls and I are a' campin. :-) I can't wait!

Rob, if for some reason you decide to fly into Charleston let me know. :-)

-Tina

Rob..I will have everything needed and more!!

This time I'm coming actually knowing others which makes it even better for me. You guys made it an extreamly great 1st event for me last year and I know this year will be even better!!

Brian, I won't rub it in then getting to see the Voyage being built every day I drive by then, sound good??!! :)

Matt...I am 100% going to be there May 6th on opening day, hope to see you and many others there then as well.

Bruce

I'll look forward to it, AND I'll say it for everyone now that Matt, and Bruce, along with others might be on my "list" for quite some time, actually having the gumption to beat me to Voyage!

Bastards!!!!! :)

Love ya too, Robbie. :) :)
I'll be sure to warm her up for ya. :) :) *** Edited 1/7/2006 9:19:17 PM UTC by Acoustic Viscosity***

This will be my first coaster event. I have booked my flight to Louisville and now have my hotel reservations. I can't wait. Hope to meet some of you guys in person. FYI-One of the local hotels that I checked is already full.

Am I correct...is Coastermania at CP the first Friday in June? If so...is anyone else thinking about making a nice long trip out of this with these two events?

I think the Coastermania date is tentatively set for June 3d.

I'm so coming.

count me in. :)

QUESTIONS:

> is the friday admission to the park (part of the $37) only valid after 6:00 PM once the park closes to the public, or do we get the entire day, too? [the park seems to open at 10AM that day)

> hotels in the area? can i book any online? personal recommendations, best value, etc? i'll do a little searching tommorow, but if anybody knows the area well or has been there and can help out that would be great.

thanks!

You will be. ;)

SFDL,

looks like you mostly figured out the hotels on your own. From what I hear the baymont is usually the hotel of choice. However, the real fun is had at the campground at Lake Rudolph. Their King size RVs are the tit. I really glom onto them.

As for admission, if history is any indication, the admission package does not include all day admission Friday (And heck, for $37, why should it?) However they'll usually start letting folks in by late afternoon (An hour or 2 before park close). Your club membership gets you $24 admission if you want to get in all day Friday. Normally I'd say that may be overkill, but I have a hunch the park will be seeing bigger than normal crowds next spring. We'll see.

Oh wait, you'll see. I won't.

Santa's Lodge is not booked - they won't take reservations until after February 2nd (I think that is the date). They haven't set their rates yet for May.

Bah. I'd love to go, but it won't be happening unfortunately. Maybe next year.
