Don't do it, it's a trick! ... All footage, photographs and trip reports are fabrications. On the Midwest Trip, we were taken by force to the TPR sweatshop in Indiana where we were fed on nothing but rotted corn & made to manufacture Coaster Expedition DVDs and TPR T-Shirts. What's more Yeah it was a wonderful time. Robb & Elissa are warm & gracious hosts and we are so indebted to them. You should start a life of crime or even a gambling addiction to attend as many of these awesome trips. Really. There is nothing to be afraid at all. _{This post has been edited by robbalvey: Today, 08:18 PM}

I'm curious as to whether "and more" included WhiteWater World and if one of their included meals will be at AOS. Other than that they pretty much have everything covered.

[robbalvey]

We actually have quite a bit of sightseeing and other activities planned into that trip. (Sydney Bridge Climb, Steve Irwin Zoo, etc) Remember that the cost also includes flights within the country. And yes, we will most likely include a water park and other "non coaster parks" since TPR is a "theme park" club and is into more than just coasters! --Robb

[tipsy_bella]

It is everything Australia has to offer. Except Magic Mountain is no more. It's great TPR maybe on their way here - I hope though they don't go home disappointed and compare our little but fantastic parks to USA's awesome huge parks.

[T-bone]

I am pretty certain it's Merimbula's Magic Mountain - http://www.magicmountain.net.au/ and not the old Gold Coast Magic Mountain which has been gone for yonkee's years now.
