After an inordinate amount of time, I am very pleased to be able to get this invite out to you. It’s been a tough one. Visiting the Northwest of the US and Canada is the trip I have personally wanted to do for 20 years, be it privately, or with you. US trips are relatively (and I mean relatively) easy to create, you pick an area, mark in all the parks, draw a line, or a loop that goes to the parks, go in June, and you’re done (sort of). This trip could not be done like that. There are parks that only open at certain times of year, and it isn’t June, there are parks that go to weekend operation just when other parks are opening. It was a planning headache. But here we are, a few years later, and the plans seems to work. As getting to this area of the US is so difficult, I wanted to make sure we covered as much ground as possible, so you’ll find a nice selection of Alpine Coasters, a heritage park, fairs, and parks both big and small. Plus, there’s one day spare in Seattle to do some “touristy things”, or just rest. The highlights of this trip for me include Playland, including the PNE Fair, Washington State Fair and Galaxyland (sadly sans Mindbender), but there’s a lot more besides. We haven’t been to North America for many years – mainly due to the fact we’ve been visiting locations elsewhere around the world – but the trip back does seem long overdue. With so many new rides opening there since we last visited, it probably won’t be long before we head back to other areas as well. This is a unique trip that will hopefully add a lot of interesting coasters to anyone’s coaster portfolio, which includes mine. I have never been to any of the parks we’re visiting, so am looking forward to this trip as much as anyone else I suspect. I just hope to see you there.       We have moved over to the new booking system now where it is all done online, for those of you that wish to see the 'traditional' invite please click here.
