Busch Gardens - Saturday 25OCT08
And DCAWD does it again! We're heading to Busch Gardens Europe again, on Saturday 25OCT08.
Drive is about 3 hours each way, we can meet at Hard Times in Springfield in the morning and carpool/caravan from there. (I'll post more details on this, but anticipate leaving Springfield by 8am at the latest)
Tickets are $56.95 through their website, or I can get them for $50.95 through my company. If you can get a check to me (or paypal to include the fees) I can grab a ticket for you as well. If somehow we get a really big group there are group discounts, but I don't know if we'll get to that number.
We have gone a couple times and its always a blast!
Who's in?!?!

Negative. I'm too fucking tall for amusement park rides (the shoulder thingies don't come over my shoulders). I'm down for a 3hr ride, but not if it's just going to be 95 or whatever. Rt. 1 to Occoquan to Manassas etc., and I'm in, even if I just turn around at the gate. :)

Just did King's Dominion yesterday. Now I'm ready to do Busch Gardens so I can compare.

We usually meet at Hard Times at 7AM and then proceed down from there. It's a good location right off 95

Re: Busch Gardens - Saturday 25OCT08
Actually it's supposed to be pretty warm... but wet... and a little lightningy. But I say as long as the park's open, we still go. Just bring a poncho if your afraid of the water.

Re: Busch Gardens - Saturday 25OCT08
A couple of us are getting tickets in advance, and this is the last weekend, so... Rain just scares of the lazy, slow walking people anyways, makes it more enjoyable.

Re: Busch Gardens - Saturday 25OCT08
Well, with the exception of about an hour we had great weather at the park. Sorry so many folks didn't end up making it!

I say screw 'em. Being scared of water means you missed out on Libra Monkee, Sabre, and HappyIdiot in "Three Guys, One Cup".
