Wood Dragon - there were at least a half dozen university age people on the Spain Trip that fit in fine with the 30-40 year olds.

Maturity level is more of an indicator if you will fit in than age.

Aye, ideally you'll have a mental age of ten or less :D

Just curious, just a suggestion- have you guys ever thought about doing smaller 2-3 day group trips in a small geographical area so that us poor college students can join in sometime too?

^Spots depend on how many deposits R & E receive. Trips will never exceed 100 participants.

How many parks is it now on the East Coast Trip that are opening new roller coasters next year? 6?

Six Flags New England (Batman Dark Knight)
Six Flags Great Adventure (Batman Dark Knight)
Hersheypark (Fahrenheit)
Knoebels (Flying Turns)
Dorney Park (Voodoo)
and probably Kings Dominion (Dominator)

Add that to the fact that Busch Gardens just added Griffon, this trip gets better and better. Great choices and timing there R & E.

Well, I am an 18 year old from the US, and as you can see, have not posted a whole lot on this site.

My plan was to do a TPR trip next year for a couple reasons: To meat other cool enthusiasts, and enjoy a stress free trip (which I can't seem to accomplish when I have to plan my own trips).

I sort of decided to do the Texas one, but now that it is cancelled, it looks like the next best possibility is the Euro one (which has better coasters anyway) considering I live on the east coast and have been to most of those parks.

My question is, as a 19 year old next year, will it probably be hard for me to fit in with the general demographics of the group? Basically, do any people my age do the Europe trips? I have seen young lots of pics of young people on the Midwest, but few and far between in Spain and UK.

So thanks, and again, if I am just asking a repeated question, just guide me to where the answer is!!

Hi,

I thought i'd put my two cents in here because i was in exactly the same position as you leading up to the Spain trip. I was worried about the general age of the group and weather i'd fit in with all these people who seem to know each other so well and I assumed wouldn't have time for anyone else.

Thankfully i was wrong, everyone was really nice and accepting. I didn't feel the fact that I was 17 held me back or stopped me from getting along with anyone on the trip. Like Larry said, it's more to do with your maturity than your age...

I had a great time on the Spain trip despite there being very few people my age. It really was a fantastic group socially, so I wouldn't be worried in the least about the age of people on the trip :)

But just incase you are worried, assuming I get on the Euro trip, i'll be 18 then so at least there's one person your age!

And I will be 19 to... So, don't worry, but let us hope more youngsters will join...

I was planing to join the spain trip, but for some reason i though i would be "alone" if you know what I'm talking about. So I'm happy to see more people around my age who's joining...

And Wood Dragon 1988, you can always hang out with me (but so you know, I'm shy :oops: )
