I like the tailgating idea, maybe if the park would be willing to let us CC members tailgate the the night before In the parking lot.

ha, nice. Hmmm... maybe they will let us set up a single grill the night before if we get enough people involved. Big cookout style dinner, a little bit of tailgating, a drink or two, and wake up in time to witness history.

I grill out on the grills they have at the campground each time I have went... Was actually considering going camping next weekend. I will likely campout for SCarolina Coaster Classic as well... A camp out for opening day sounds fun, but it will be cold... I hear opening day will be earlier next year... :)

I've never been invited to any media day. I wish I was in ACE. I think I'll join at some point. I would have enterd the giveaway, but I'm not 16. :cry: I would do anything to go to media day. Any ideas?

Did you email here, facebook, or twitter? I'm just curious.

I spoke with her after the announcement yesterday. That's when she gave me the media kit and I mentioned the media day. She said that she's pretty sure that media day will be a few days before opening day.And anyone there that day will be the first to ride Fury, before the GP. She also mentioned that, usually, Enthusiast groups are invited to the media day. Don't hold me to this though. This is all still preliminary and could change by early next year.

What do you mean by "Media Kit"?

It is basically a flash drive with all of the ride info, animations, images, logos, etc... I told her I was filming the entire announcement for YouTube and she said that I should grab a media kit.

This may be off topic, just following the current convo, but does it bug anyone ( no pun intended ) else that the logo in the "surprise picture" they took as we walked in doesn't have the 325? Just curious because it kinda kills me.

Jay wrote:Everyone else got one or two of the flash drives as well. FamousAmos thinks he's special because someone from the park told him to get one. The rest of us managed just fine without directions, or needlessly bothering important park personnel.

:crazy:


I am no more special than anyone else here. I have nothing to brag about. I was asked a question and I answered said question. But no harm done. :)

Let the coaster get built first. We've got about seven months before opening day.
