^ The drive to your room is definitely an important point. I've reserved a room in Williamsburg because the inconvenience of a long drive on Saturday is not as great as it would be for me to endure a long drive on Sunday when I'll have much less energy by the end of the day. Just my reasoning behind things.

I Love Donkeys!

I think i am going to go both days... Wanted to know if anyone is coming from NC and wanted to car pool... Also were is everyone staying overnight? Does anyone know the best place to stay? I have been to both parks before but i have not been to an TPR event and just trying to work out all the details.

I've gone pantless!

There are some hotels near BGW, but there isn't much else out there (mostly offices). There are more restaurants on Richmond Road, Williamsburg's main tourist area, so you might want to concentrate on staying there.

2 questions?

1 I didn't purchase the fast pass options for this event either day. Can it be added now?

2. What the heck is a TPR Water Challenge?

^
1) Not sure, but an email to Robb or Elissa couldn't hurt.

2) TPR Water Challenge is exactly what it sounds like. You ride a coaster with a cup of water. Whoever comes back with the most water wins. Most people don't come back with a whole lot of water in their cup.

I've done two Water Challenges and both were amazingly fun. Hopefully there is one coming for ECB.

Heard today that BG has announced Mach Tower will be down indefinitely. What will happen with the scheduled ERT on Mach? What will it be replaced with. Thanks.

^I wouldn't worry too much, I'm sure they will substitute another attraction if Mach Tower is down.

It usually involves a cup of water and a roller coaster. The idea is to make it back to the station with some water still in the cup.
