Make sure you keep your hands inside the car on the Tornado. I got kicked out of the park for putting my hands up on it.

Seriously?....

I will be attending. Is anyone else going?

I am quite sure there will be other people there.

Terpy, who just HAD to

Wish I could-unfortunately I am working for the second year in a row on that day

Are you serious?

I do know a certain group of people that usually end up getting kicked out for doing some serious snaps on the scooters, but never for hands up on the Tornado. Hmmmm.....

Oh how I miss the flying eagles :")

My kids' baseball league rents out Stricker's Grove at the end of every season for their awards night. Always a wonderful time! I have never seen anyone kicked out for raising their hands on the Tornado, or do any "serious snapping" on the scooters. The only time I saw anyone get kicked out (and deservedly, I must say) was when they changed seats on the train while it was moving by climbing on the outside of the train.

So is this one of the only times to buy a Stricker's Grove shirt like all the "cool" enthusiasts have and very pretentiously wear???....of course making me want one then!!!

^ Oxymoron above, no such thing as a "cool enthusiast"

ZING.

I would like to go, but I don't have the money right now, so I'm working instead.

Hmmm. As one who gave away nearly all his coaster attire some time ago, I suppose this is yet one more sign I am no longer a coaster enthusiast, much less a cool one.

Bumparooney!

Also known as Sunday is tomorrow....See post 1 for details!

anyone know the guy who goes crazy on the flying scooters and even sometimes takes his camcorder on it?

From what I have seen, that doesn't limit things much...

How funny.

The only shirt that I have (and Avatar will probably appreciate) is for Disney's California.... Grizzly River Expedition. It's actually a nice enough shirt that I can wear to work.

You only have one shirt? How often do you do laundry?

LOL

It's actually not a t shirt. We're not allowed to wear t-shirts to work Interp!

Does it cost anything to get on the rides? I wanna ride the Scooters!

Tomorrow it's ten dollars per person total...as stated in Post 1.

No additional charge for the rides and coasters...

Well, I didnt know if their was a charge or not.Usually they do that at fairs so.

Strickers Grove is not a fair.

I was just wondering if they are going to do there customer appreciation day in october again? We went to the family fun day last year and they gave us a flyer with the information on it for a day in october that they were going to be open again. Does anyone have any information about this? I would really appreciate it. Thank You!

Hell, people film and take photos on the coasters, and don't get even a mention about it.

Customer appreciation day is virtually a given. As I get more information from the park, I will post it, as I always do...
