Question 2009 C.P. III Meet?!?

Already have people pm'ing me about the 3rd Annual HHR Cedar Point Meet so let the discussion begin.
One thought we had for next year was doing 1 day where we Island hopped. The have a ferry that takes you to a couple of the islands around the Cedar Point area including Kelleys Island and Put In Bay.
For those of you that received the Lake Erie Shores and Islands Guide in your Goody Bag you can get some ideas from there as to what things you might like to see/do next year
Dates?!? This years date seemed to be pretty good to me. Thoughts? Number of Days for event?

OMG! The ferry from Hell!
The small one to Kelly's Island that is. Rode that thing years ago, I thought I was going to die.

We like the Island hopping idea alot. I also think we should direct more time to karting, since that was a huge hit too! Hmmmm.....maybe a competition? This was a great date to have it too, plus if you stick with the same weekend, most can really start their planning then. I know you can put Bob and me down as for sure's!!!

Yes! the same date would be nice n convenient. We do vacation pics @ my job every January, plus it goes by seniority. So the sooner I know the sooner I can try 2 put something down on paper.

Not to mention the Friday after the 4th of July was dead in the park and made for riding the coasters a breeze.

Lucky, of all the times i've been to cedar point, over 10 times now, i've never had a day like that. I've had the occasional quick line but then i've also done the 3 hour wait for millennium when it first opened...

On a side note, just throwing an idea out there. Would it be too hard to do 2 cedar point meets in one year? One reason being i wasn't able to go this time, i had just gotten the hhr, and my parents were here that weekend, but the other reason being it looked like a heck of a time.

I know they take a ton of planning, but wanted to ask. I have yet to ever go down for one, but i hear the halloweekends in the end of september and october are supposed to be a blast. The park is open different hours, does a whole halloween theme and often has people dressed up in costume etc. Hillsdale's new orange SS and Punkinhead would fit right in there...

So yeah, i know it's probably not feasible, but wanted to ask anyways.

Start a thread and see what happens. Unfortunately, it looks like I wouldn't be able to attend. Got back to work yesterday to find out that I no longer have a job We were all temp to hire and one of the departments just lost their contract so they are taking over our jobs

I agree. Lets call C.P. III for July 9th - 12th, 2009. May switch it up a bit but that is a Thursday through Sunday. Take Thursday for C.P., Friday for the actual meet, Saturday to Island Hop, and Sunday to chill and get ready to head home.
