Michigan Meetup v3.0

[Charu]

Meetup at Cedar Point?

Eeeeeh...

That isn't Michigan though. That's where everyone goes however if they live in the South East portion of Michigan (Yeah!).

[mellonxcollie]

I'd be up for a Cedar Point trip. However I think we should just get together and party in a more chill environment as well

[dAnceguy117]

cedar point is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING OMG but really is not for everyone. if anything, I think that should be an "also some people are doing this right before or right after" kind of deal.

[dragon890x]

I might be interested in going to a meet up. :O

[cedolad]

cedar point aint bad.

[melonpapes]

im down lol

[DarkManticoreX2]

I've always wanted to do cedar point, It's a bit of a hike from Philly though.

If i were to come down for this It would have to be for at least a few days.

[Rebirth0]

It would definitely be a 3 day weekend thing, most likely. I'd prefer mid August, because its right before I go back to college

[igotrhythm]

Cedar Point is all the way in Ohio. Charu is right, though, it's where everyone goes. Hell, my physics class took a trip down there once.

You try riding a roller coaster while taking g-force measurements. Yeah.

We can chill Friday/party that night. (By party I mean staying up late doing whatever) then cedar point on Saturday.

[cedolad]

If that will be the plan, I cannot attend

That sounds good. For those of us who work retail it can be easier to book week days off work, and I'd imagine Cedar Point would be a bit less busy on week days, so maybe we could do two misc days during the week instead of Friday/Saturday? Also Cedolad must attend !

Chances of me going increase exponentially if I/we can have a free place to stay

[blindreper1179]

My place is always free for friends.

Random weekdays work too. Though, I'd have to request them off. So, I will also need to know ahead to plan accordingly.

[Rebirth0]

So I stop working on August 15, and school starts August 25. Somewhere in that 10 day time frame would be perfect

[blindreper1179]

That'd work for me too since on August 8th my vacation days renew.

[cedolad]

August would be perfect for me, it's a slow month at my job. I should be able to get a few days off.

I would think going to Cedar Point on a weekday would have less traffic in the park.

My preference is that I would start driving on Saturday the 16th, get there that night, and do shit for the next few days. I guess it would still leave a possible weekend day (Sunday) for Cedar Point, but this is the earliest we could probably do this. Me and Izzy get off work at 3 - 4 PM, and it takes every bit of 12 hours to get to Detroit.

We would also be willing to pick someone up on the way, someone who lives in St Louis, Indianapolis, Chicago maybe if we go that direction (toll roads are gay though, don't really want to go through Chicago, I think I-90 has a toll), if they're willing to throw some gas money for our troubles

[igotrhythm]

I know there's some toll roads in the Chicago area. When I drove to Detroit to see the family for Christmas from Wisconsin, we had to take a few, including the sky bridge or whatever.

Haven't been down there in a few years, so I'm guessing that with inflation tolls will be like 50 cents per booth, with maybe 5 bucks for the bridge. It's gonna add up. I'd also advise you to pack snacks, as it's about 8 hours including piss breaks from Milwaukee to Detroit by car, and then another 2 or 3 to Cedar Point.

[Rebirth0]

The only breaks we would take are when we have to fill up for gas (which I think is 3 fillups including the one at the very beginning. I don't mind going through Chicago and paying some tolls if it ends up being faster, since the person we pick up will help pay for shit anyway
