....oh, well....I'll just have to *suffer* with a fine mouse and that awful *ejector air*....pity me...;)

I tell you, Bill... I can arrange for a certain young fellow to meet you in the queue of the mouse. He will add a terrifying element that you can't possibly imagine, right Chris? I wish I had taken pictures.....:(

Yes, Bass! That mouse is unbelievable. It does create real fear. I get truly frightened on that beast!

Oh, I'm sure that gator and Ritalin Boy will get along smashingly!

I wonder how long the Mouse line will be when the PNE is in full swing. An hour, maybe? It's worth it, though.

Well, Chris... last April, during the 2nd weekend after opening, the wait was 90 minutes, as they still were only running 3 cars, one of which sits (impatiently) until the 1st car hits the "brake run." I would love some ERT on that puppy.... imagine all the "buddy configurations" that we could come up with;) Imagine you and Ritalin Boy! Oh! The possibilities!!!!!:):):):)

OK, here is the prices quoted me from the Puyallup Fair for renting the wooden coaster. Rob,drumroll please----------------------------

Aug.24 ,6-10 PM $5,150.00

Sept.3 ,6-10 PM $2,150.00

Do you guys still want to do this?

Rob,there are flat rides there at the PNE, but when you have Coaster,the S&S Tower,the Skycoaster,and Turbo Force,why bother?

Lets' save the Vancouver PNE Coaster before its'too late!

If it can be kept to under $100.00 per person, I'm in.

Holy Crap, that's a fricking lot of money!:( Umm..... can we move it up a week? LOL! I am in, if we can get a tremendous amount of enthusiasts, and/or we can convince Corey to pay for the whole thing!!! Heck, he just might for such a discreet credit, right Corey??? ;) Let's just keep it rolling and see what we can do, and how many we can get in. I suggest we all send Ron an email stating who would come, desired date, and how many people they might bring. We can spreadsheet the whole thing that way? Maybe? Perhaps there is some negotiating that can be done once we have a fair amount of riders committed....

Ron - to be honest its not looking good. To keep it at $100 per person we'd need 51 people...is that a real possibility? How many people went to CAC this year? 20? And moving it to the 2nd will pretty much guarantee that most coming for CAC will not be able to attend, especially anyone who has to be back at work the week after the 24th. I know I can't make the 2nd unless CAC is moved to that weekend.

How this for an idea: an enthusiast event at Enchanted Village that Sunday night! Some nighttime ERT on the woodie, perhaps?

$5K+, huh? And they didn't even bother to ask for your first-born or anything...;). Were they aware that we were talking about RIDING, not buying...lol. Unless we can get a local radio station to sponsor it (only partially kidding), I don't realistically see us getting enough people together to make it feasible for the 24th...

...did we even HAVE a plan B....how is the WW/EV woodie coming along...

Gator - M:TR can always be "Plan B." It rents for considerrably less ;)

Yes, I heard that M:TR has been known to give special seniors rates these days. ;)

I can honestly say that if it's going to be over $30/person, I'm out. It's a good ride, but not one that's $100 worth.

I propose we all go to SFEV after CAC, and then let Rob show us a night on the town in Seattle. :)

You know, that's a pretty good idea! I can dig that bigtime! How's about some ERT on Coaster instead? I mean, come on... That's the ride of choice, anyway. The Puyallup coaster is a wonderful fun little ride, but yeah... that is a lot of money. I guess we could contact that ACE rep for the NW, but how much good will that do? Did anyone post on RRC about the possibilities?

Check out www.proudlock.org/tpa/ for updates on the EV/WW woodie. As of 12/1/02, I haven't seen any movement. Anyone been by the park lately? I don't think they even have a builder yet, personally. I think they have approval, but not final plans. Just my thoughts.

$5,150 for the night? Does that include full service escorts?

M:TR sounds more like "Plan X" to me....then again, YMMV...:)

I am serious about asking for some nighttime ERT on Coaster at PNE. Why not? Heck, we are going to be there anyway. I can't imagine a coaster that I would like some ERT on more....:)

I'd be up for some Coaster ERT on Monday the 25th.

I don't see myself making it all the way from Silverwood to Vancouver in one day, but think Vancouver on Monday is the way to go.

I think a few hours of ERT on PNE's Coaster sounds great! Besides, most people can't handle more than an hour of ERT on M:TR.

It looks as though the proposal for some ERT on the Puyallup Fair Coaster TR is going to be shot down in flames unless we can get at least 100 people to participate. I honestly did not expect this to cost that much. ERT on the PNE Coaster? I'm there! I will let someone else organize this one.

Any ideas on getting that many people to participate in a Puyallup Fair Coaster TR ERT would be welcome. I am not ready to give up on this yet. I would really like to make the cost as reasonable as possible. $51.50 per person is the most I would be willing to spend on this.

Here's a *thought*....is it POSSIBLE that CAC could be moved back a week...don't know what would be involved in that idea, or even if it's possible....but it's better than donating organs for a ride I guess...;)
