Well, we need someone who is enthusiastic and what not to be a theme park organizer for the Americas. This is harder than the European theme park organizers since there's a whole lot more gorund to cover. If you feel that you are truly capeable of motivating people into going to theme parks as a group of coastercrazy.com then post your name up. We'll take a vote and pick maybe one or two or even 3 to work as a team in American theme park organizers.

This sounds like it could be fun except that I live in Minnesota, with only 3 real parks near me, unless I could organize meet ups without actually going on them [lol].

I might be able to work some PA parks and others in the area in the coming months. Depends on my car and job hunts paying off. I will let you know.

If I cant then next year I will be able to, that is if you still need someone.

i'd suggest breaking it up into regions. rather then keeping it simply as America.


like make California, Arizona and Nevada one zone.

Minnesota, Iowa, North/South Dakota, Wisconsin one zone.

Ohio, Indiana, Michigan one zone.

etc.

This cant really work in the US in my opinion. The UK peoples are all relatively close. Nobody here is close to a group of many parks except the socal people.

I agree. And not only that, but there is no way the organizer would be able to attend all the meetups.

I think with the States being so large you should try to get 2 or 3 and split things up into regions.

That way you can avoid this distance thing and another important aspect is, say if I was, I know quite a bit about the states around me. So having someone within a region could and should have better knowledge of the area and thus better able to plan a trip.

Just reinforcing what I didnt read above, lol.

Im new here, but I live and travel every year to theme parks inside a 6 hour drive to me. This would include: Kentucky (SFKK), Ohio (CP and KI), Virginia(BGardens), West Virgina(Camden Park), Tennessee(DollyWood), North Carolina (Carowinds), Georgia (SFoG, Indiana (Holliday World).

Saying the above, I will/have traveled to each in a years time, but this year I skipped a few due to fuel cost. But if we did break up the US in groups like ACE does, I would be more than happy to take Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio.

SFKK is closest to my home, however Kings Island is my home park. Ive completed my tours this year but next year comes quickly!

That sounds like a good idea. But I guess when the season is going to start up again. I sense the coaster season for the east coast is coming to an end soon for this year.
