ATTENTION: Teams participating in AZ regional
 

Team 60 has contacted Castles n' Coasters, a small mimiature golf and ride amusement park in Phoenix and they have offered to open their facility to us on Thursday March 11th from 6-10 pm if we can guarantee 300 people attending. We would definitely like them to open their park to us.

The price per person is only 10 dollars for unlimited ride use and unlimited miniature golf.

If you or your team are interested, please post the number of people that would be attending. If the total is 300 or more, we can call and confirm this date.

For more information, please check out www.castlesncoasters.com.
If you have any additional questions, e-mail me at mandy@team60.com

Thanks!

We'll go.

I probably have 29 people going.

Re: ATTENTION: Teams participating in AZ regional
 

Are you able to get Phoenix regional participating teams contact info, and send an email to all of them?

Re: ATTENTION: Teams participating in AZ regional
 

Hmm, we may be interested in attending, I will find out soon and let you know. The only problem I foresee is that normally Thursdays we work well until the pits close at 8pm making everything work and testing things....

So even if we were to say we would be going, there is no guarantee.

Re: ATTENTION: Teams participating in AZ regional
 

Ok so ive been to castles and costers before and let me say its a fun time.
Minigolf=Fun
Small coasters so you wont barf afterwards= fun
arcade= fun

fun+fun+fun= good time to be had by all

Re: ATTENTION: Teams participating in AZ regional
 

You are referring to this Castles N' Coasters , correct? - http://www.ddrfreak.com/locations/lo...cationID=38 8

If so... well, I hope our team will go, and I've passed along the information to one of our teachers. We'll let you know if we plan to come along.

Re: ATTENTION: Teams participating in AZ regional
 

Hey no problem. Just let me know by at least next Monday (the first).

This is how I think of it... not only little roller coasters and arcades and golf, but it will be open to ONLY FIRST people that are going to the AZ regional! It's like one big FIRST party!

And yes, it is that Castles n' Coasters

Re: ATTENTION: Teams participating in AZ regional
 

Cyber Blue can go 30.

When will we know if this is a definite or not so we can make alternative plans?

Thanks

Re: ATTENTION: Teams participating in AZ regional
 

I am hoping by next Monday. That will give teams some time to think everything over, and for me to confirm/cancel with the park.

Re: ATTENTION: Teams participating in AZ regional
 

Anyone else thinking about doing this?? March 1st is tomorrow... :eek:

Re: ATTENTION: Teams participating in AZ regional
 

alright, so now I have about 110 people that want to go
I am still waiting on responses from a few teams, so I will definitely need to know by Wednesday.

I've contacted most teams, and if I missed anyone, let me know!

Re: ATTENTION: Teams participating in AZ regional
 

Ok, we have 14 people that could go. However, we can't guarantee anything, because as I said earlier, Thursday we usually work all the way up till the 8pm deadline. So unless something dramatic happens and our bot works perfectly at our first regional, we probably won't be able to go.

Re: ATTENTION: Teams participating in AZ regional
 

okay, so up to now, I am at about 200 people that can go. I need about 300, and I am still waiting for a few responses, but if anyone knows any teams that haven't said anything, pester them for me! haha!

I'll keep y'all posted

Re: ATTENTION: Teams participating in AZ regional
 

I really hope you get enough people to do this. Maybe you can persuade them to let us do it with only 200 some people. I can't wait to get on the Freefall ride. Do you know how high it is?

Re: ATTENTION: Teams participating in AZ regional
 

I HEREBY CHALLENGE EACH PERSON READING THIS TO SPIN ME OUT ON THE NASKARTS OR OTHERWISE BEAT ME IN A RACE. I HOPE TO SEE CHALLENGERS THAT NIGHT.

HOW CAN YOU FIND ME? NAMES CHRIS. I HANG OUT WITH TEAM 696 (CIRCUIT BREAKERS) WE HAVE A INDIAN GUY WHO WEARS A TURBINE. ASK FOR ME! I'M WHITE AND PROBABLY ONE OF THE TALLEST GUYS THERE!

Re: ATTENTION: Teams participating in AZ regional
 

ILL BE THERE!!!! :D

Re: ATTENTION: Teams participating in AZ regional
 

I challenge you to a duel!

Re: ATTENTION: Teams participating in AZ regional
 

Hey Amanda

Any word yet?

Thanks
Scott

Re: ATTENTION: Teams participating in AZ regional
 

Alright, stats are as follows:

I have confirmed with the park, and they are opening for us. I am still waiting for a list of ides that will be open.

The park will open from 7-11 now (to allow some tams time to finish up with the pits, if they need to)

The cost is still 10 dollars.

I have contacted all of the teams in Az, and have not yet recieved responses from many of them. If you know a team near to you that is planning to attend, invite them. Invite anyone you can! It should be a great time, and the more the merrier!

I am going to see if I can get an announcement of some sort at the regional in the morning Thursday, or at closing ceremonies (assuming they have them).

I'll be in the pits ALL WEEKEND! Come by and say hello!

Amandy,

I will be glad to print up some flyers that can be handed out on Thursday. How many would you like?

Re: ATTENTION: Teams participating in AZ regional
 

YAY!!!! This is gonna be awesome, my team is going to have a blast. Thank you guys for the oppurtunity! :D ...k, ill calm down now...:cool:

LOL, see ya'll there!

Re: ATTENTION: Teams participating in AZ regional
 

I dare ya to ride freefall as many times in a row as you can. :D Or how 'bout a duel on the GoKart track. This'll be awesome!

Re: ATTENTION: Teams participating in AZ regional
 

LOL, deal

Re: ATTENTION: Teams participating in AZ regional
 

Well, let me see... it would be beneficial if each team could have one.. so that's about 40, and then if parents or spectators want any... I would say about 100. (of course you can add to this number as you see fit... I don't want you to have a huge amount of flyers to print off) If you would like any help, I would be glad to! Just let me know!

Re: ATTENTION: Teams participating in AZ regional
 

Wow, this is going to be AWESOME!! I am so going. I am on team 330. I can print out flyers also if you want. I know alot of the judges at Phoenix also. Should we invite them?
Thanks for heading this up Amanda. ;)

Re: ATTENTION: Teams participating in AZ regional
 

Can't wait for Arizona guys :) Don't hesitate to say hi to me since I'm horrible with faces... just look for the blue hair :]

Re: ATTENTION: Teams participating in AZ regional
 

I take that challenge. :cool: you got nothing.... =P

Re: ATTENTION: Teams participating in AZ regional
 

Hey guys... I know you're gonna hate me for this.. the park changed the time again. They keep calling me and telling me different. However, I have come to the FINAL time now. I promise. I hope..

it's 6:30 to 10:00. They can't keep the ride park open on a school night.. yeah.

oh, one more thing. this just occurred to me... if you are from an AZ team, feel free to invite kids from your school! The more people that come, the more that get to see what FIRST is about. That's a nice marketing/recruiting technique.. (too bad we live four hours away...)
