So, what would be the minimum number that we need to make this trip happen?

2 or more members is the minimum that it will take to make this trip happen and I’m 100% in. Although a few modifications would need to be necessary or keep it the way it is and just pass the expense on.

First Bus Company does offer a bus for 23 people, but I have not gotten a quote for it.

To keep the price at around $200.00 for two nights, we would basically need to put 3 to a room (but if they want to pay alittle more they can still have 1-2 members in aroom) and have around $45.00 to spend on food & drinks for each person, with each person receiving a shirt. We would need around 33-34 members and I Believe we have around 15 members thus far. If we can get more members to attend, then the bus price per member would go down.

Basically and somewhat the fixed costs are the shirts, meals, bus driver tip and the hotel (total cost of hotel room dived by 1-2-3 or 4 members per room). The more fluid cost is the Transportation (total cost of bus divided my # of members going)

I think sometimes members will shy away at first, but when they see the excitment and anticipation of the committed members they will show more interest and will what to be involved in a historic event for PKI Central. And trust me after we all get back and everyone sees the trip reports and the photos, they will wished they had went and would probably be ready to sign up for the PKI Central Trip for 2008, and there is no guarantee of a 2008 trip. The inaugural trip usually sets a bench mark, and usually can’t be matched. As I have said in a earlier post I have planned these trips before for Hockey teams and been involved with planning trips for students to go to NAJAC (National Junior Achievement Conference) and if any one here has been on one of those trips.Then they know how much fun it is to go with a group with similar interest. Cincinnati area has sent a lot of students to NAJAC, maybe someone on here has went in the past. (So are their any turtles out there?)

Reon one other option that you may want to consider on the shirts, is the polo shirts in the PKI Central store, store link here. You could arrange to have your connection put a design onto the back and have the members personal signature names embroidered under the PKI Central logo in the front with PKIC like colors. What ever you decide on the shirts will be fine, just saw these and thought I would throw it your way.

Reon; one other option that you may want to consider on the shirts, is the polo shirts in the PKI Central store, store link here.

One possible design on the back of the shirts could be like a concert tour style shirt, with the park names and dates listed in order and still using PKI Central like colors. Then putting a big red or blue outline of the state of Ohio on the shirt with all the wording inside the Ohio outline. But why stop there, put a depiction of each parks signature Icon where the parks are located on the Ohio map. The shirt would look similarly like the example below;

PKI CENTRAL 2007 OHIO AMUSEMENT/THEME PARK TOUR

Paramount Kings Island Mason, Ohio June 11, 2007

Geauga Lake Aurora, Ohio June 12, 2007

Cedar Point Sandusky, Ohio June 13, 2007

Encore Engagement;

Cedar Point Sandusky, Ohio June 14, 2007

Note; the wording would be spaced out as such; park names to the far left, city & state in the middle and the dates to the far right. Also the top PKI Central line and the Encore line would be centered. The Forum will not let me display it this way.

It may be possible that there could be some interest from other members that may not be able to attend the PKI Central trip, but would like to have a shirt like the ones that we are working on, so they could go to future meet-ups or just to Kings Island for the day and be recognized by PKI Central members. We could sell them for a little extra and use the money to put towards the Charter Bus Fees to help keep the cost down for all the attending members.

Tell me what you think.

Is anyone interested in a shirt?

Reon; if SOB TOM gets to have his white square with an X in the upper left hand corner as his avatar on his shirt. Then I want my avatar to glow and to have Avatar’s eyes blink like my avatar does now . I think when you check the prices to do individual avatars for every one; it may get a little expensive. Because each individual avatar would haft to be captured and then converted into a separate die cast for individual printing. Additionally the cost would be affected by the number of colors it would take to do that particular avatar. The only possible way that I could see this happening is if you did it with a print your own from a computer iron on shirt decal. But your connection may be able to do it for resonable rate (lets hope). it never hurts to ask, Good-Luck.

Reon; I edited my post about shirts style, and put the two post togather.check it out and let me know what you think. seven (7) posts up.

I say, just have the PKIC Logo on the front left and that persons user name under it. Then on the back, have the tour dates.

As for food, I dont think the food should be included in the cost. I think just transportation and hotel. I think a lot of us will have a maxx pass so that covers the cost of the park. I am liking the idea of staying at a ERT hotel at the point.

I also think an actual WEB SITE should be created with a sign up and all the details as they come across. Like a pkictour2007.com or something like that.

I like The Beast.
