US Nationals 2011

[Kian]

It doesn't take *that* long to get from Washington to BWI. You remember how short our drive was, right?

Probably the best 4 hours of my life.

And solve cube...

And solve cube...

I don't think that can be done on top thrill dragster.

I did it on another one at Cedar Point, The Iron Dragon.

you live in jersey. just go higher and faster on kingda ka.

 

[waffle=ijm]

but I haven't rode on top thrill dragster yet =(

 

[masterofthebass]

its like 95% the same thing as kingda ka. Just a little smaller. So you haven't ridden 5% of top thrill dragster yet.

Oh man, I totally have to get to cedar point while I'm there. We have top thrill dragster's predecessor, Xcelerator, at Knott's Berry farm here, but it's like half the height.

 

[pjk]

Woohoo, I can almost 100% go

Awesome. I'm hoping to make it, but not positive yet. If I'm still in Colorado when you head to the US, you're welcome to come visit. Do you plan to do a small US tour?

 

[Forte]

i don't think i can go ):

 

[TheMachanga]

Those pictures on the homepage, can we view all of them (or previous ones)?

I will be there to once again claim the UWR for orangina.

You have some competition this time.

I've just been stealing them all from Jaclyn's facebook album. If anyone else has good pictures from Nationals last year feel free to send them our way and we can put them in the rotation.

Good idea. Here: http://www.cubingusa.com/usnationals2011/gallery.php

 

[Branca]

I'd probably go.

I'm doing quite a large US tour... (bit of an Arnaud you could say ) Working at a summer camp in PA (most likely, could be in neighbouring states but it's looking that way atm) for June and July, then heading to Nationals followed by some East Coast for a couple of weeks. I have some family in Ohio that my Dad would like me to visit I think, as I've never met them, so I'll probably do that, but I LOVE ROLLERCOASTERS so that suggestion makes me happy.

Have some post grad investigations to be doing on the East Coast then I'll probably then go to Canada for a week or so, maybe two, then head West Coast for a few weeks. I don't have to be back here until October, so money permitting, I'll be away for quite a while and be able to see a large bulk of what I want to. Thank you for the offer of a place to stay Pat, I know how much you love Colorado, so I may well have to let you show me how awesome it is!

As I know, er, very little-nothing about America, suggestions for where to head would be most welcome. Maybe not in this thread to avoid clutter though

PS. I absolutely loathe driving and avoid it at all costs, so I would be extremely surprised if I convinced myself to hire a car

In America, we rent them

Well, if you think I am going to be walking on sidewalks and putting trash in trash cans, you have another thing coming

 

[Whyusosrs?]

Working at a summer camp in PA (most likely, could be in neighbouring states but it's looking that way atm) for June and July,

/me proceeds to make reservations at every summer camp in PA.

Nationals are coming again so soon! I think I might be able to borrow a car and go.

And put our luggage in the trunk.
