ECC Alpine Adventure

£195.00£890.00

Hello Everyone,

Following a recent survey conducted by our chairman, the findings indicated that there was a need for more shorter trips—if the members want shorter trips, of course we will oblige. So here is the first offering.

We’re thrilled to take you on a 5-day adventure to the DACH region, where we’ll explore parks in Austria, Switzerland (for the first time!), and even take a quick detour into Germany.

Our journey kicks off in Vienna, where we’ll meet up at Prater in the afternoon at 1:30 PM for an exciting, guided tour of the park, complete with a few roller coaster rides to get the adrenaline flowing. This will be followed by free time to explore the park at your own pace before settling into the hotel. The next morning, our coach-based tour begins with a visit to the enchanting Familypark. This will be followed by an afternoon visit to the ice cream factory (Eis Greissler Manufaktur) to explore the adventure park and go on the ice time travel tour. We might even be able to sample some ice cream while we are there 😉

Day three takes us to Fantasiana—those who were on the Coaster Rhapsody trip will remember that we had a fantastic day at the park where we had one of the best ERS ever on the now-defunct “Wild Train” coaster. The park treated us like royalty, and we can expect a similar experience this time around. We are certainly in for a treat. Later in the day we shall hop over to Germany and sample the charming Freizeitpark Ruhpolding. We have visited Germany many times in the past, and every time our trip routing has eluded this park, so now I’m glad that on this trip we are rectifying this.

On day four, we’ll start the day by experiencing what Freizeitpark Familienland has to offer before heading to Switzerland. It’s a long drive, so we’ll break the journey by stopping and riding some of Austria’s thrilling alpine coasters along the route. Finally, the last day sees us visit the beautiful Conny-Land with its weird and wonderful Pax coaster. We then move on to the final park of the trip, that is, Ticiland, a small family entertainment centre.

The tour will conclude at Zurich Airport at 5:30 PM.

The trip includes visiting some charming parks and riding some wonderful coasters. Some of the coaster highlights on this trip include Vienna Looping, the brand-new Mack Custom BigDipper, Hochschaubahn (the 1950 scenic railway), Olympia Looping (the Schwarzkopf classic), Rattenmühle (the Gerstlauer bobsled), “Helios” (the brand-new Mack Stryker coaster), and Cobra, a Pax shuttle loop.

This is a coach-based trip that starts in Vienna and ends in Zurich. You will need to make your own way to Vienna and make your own arrangements back home or onwards to your next destination from Zurich Airport. If you are arriving early and require a hotel room for Friday night, please let us know as soon as possible (email tripbookings@coaster.club) and choose the options listed below in this invite, as rooms are limited.

This promises to be one heck of a trip. It would be amazing if you could join us on this wonderful Alpine Adventure.

See you all in Vienna….
