It's great to hear that WPI will be joining us. Now let's see if we can get any of their compatriots to join them. The weather will be warm, rides will be fun and the event will be unmatched. C'mon on up, it'll be a blast. There are still spots left.

Re: Canada's Wonderland FIRST event in June
 

Due to a scheduling conflict with their High School graduation, Team 48 has informed me that they will not be able to attend the Wonderland event. :(

Re: Canada's Wonderland FIRST event in June
 

^^ 1241 will be there thought we haven't paid yet but from what i heard from our teachers we will! ^^

Re: Canada's Wonderland FIRST event in June
 

8 hour drive isn't that long jessica! I mean, IRI is 11 at shortest for me, and this will be my second time making the trip. I'd LOVE to go to the wonderland event, but the only way I can is if someone a) can give me a ride and b) i can crash in someone's room for the night or something. OR shyra can use that money order for not coming to nationals and buy me a plane ticket! oh the possibilities! :D if anyone knows of a cheap way or someone from jersey going up lemme know asap!

Re: Canada's Wonderland FIRST event in June
 

Disregarding the fact that the school does not usually allow "field trips" in June, Code Red will be unable to attend due to the desire to hoard as much money as possible for next year, which we are short of at the moment. Sorry. I wish we could attend.

Re: Canada's Wonderland FIRST event in June
 

thats unfortunate for both 48 and 639, i would have loved to have seen a mini rematch of Canada. im surprised no one has mentioned SAT's being on that same day too. personally im going to be missing out for the morning and early afternoon portion because of the, but ill be around for saturday afternoon and all day sunday =).

honestly, if you have just a hint of love for canada, you gotta make it up to this event. Wonderland is billing itself as the largest collection of rides and amusements (or something of that like) in north america now!. how that beats out disney or six flags, i have no idea. but come and see for yourself!

Re: Canada's Wonderland FIRST event in June
 

9 SPOTS LEFT .. so far it looks like it is going to be an awesome event! .. i will be volunteering there so say hi to me !!!!

Re: Canada's Wonderland FIRST event in June
 

It looks like 88 will not be able to make it this year... It would be a lot of money for us to go up there, and we can't miss any school even if we wanted to go and finals are around that week... :( I was hoping we could go but I guess not... hmmm... Maybe next year...

Re: Canada's Wonderland FIRST event in June
 

Has your group worked out any deals for hotels in the area? We are currently looking to make reservations and I wanted to check before I went forward with anything. Basically I've been using hotel info off the Paramount website to find nearby hotels.

If anyone knows of which hotels are good (and not so good!) and could let us know, that would be great! We can't wait for this event!
