Ras 74 Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Just got an e-mail from Jan Beyer requesting where we will be and a roughly date. We have been almost every second year in Billund the last years. There have also been discussed to arrange an Event in U.K. next fall. So what do you say that wants to participate at next years EB Event? Make your vote before 30 September!
Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted September 21, 2009 Eurobricks Emperor Posted September 21, 2009 I was in Gunzburg this year for the 2009 event, so I'd love to see Billund next time. My vote goes to Billund!
Ras 74 Posted September 21, 2009 Author Posted September 21, 2009 Holodoc you live in Germany, stop voting for it
Jipay Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 The logical money-wise answer would be Günzburg, but I voted Billund, as I really want to the see the Genesis.
Holodoc Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Holodoc you live in Germany, stop voting for it Stop nagging me! Seriously I voted... ...BILLUND! Didn´t we say so in Günzburg? And because of our Merlin annual passes I strongly recommend a date around may, 1st. Then we can get into the park for free and spend the money in sets. Otherwise I would have voted for Windsor. The only park in Europe I haven´t been to yet.
Quarryman Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 I thought we agreed on Billund as many of us wil get in there for free due to having the Merlin premium pass? (this is of course if we go before 20th of May). Doing it in Ascension weekend will fit nicely imho, Ascension Day is 13th of May next year. so that's in time for us to get in for free, and it gives us the nice 4-day-Event with only taking out one day of leave from work Anyway, I of course voted Billund, haven't been there since 1988 and it's the closest for me too.
polarbomber Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 i heard there is a new legoland in thailand , lets go there instead
Freddie Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 As I'm likely to go as well, I too voted Billund. Haven't been there in ages, not to mention its within driving distance and I and Quarryman can split the costs if we travel together. For the time being I also second Quarryman's suggestion of event-date.
Morten Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Like Holodoc I vote for Billund, and a date so we can use the Merlin pass from we bought i Günzburg. Looking forward allready. Morten Sonne
Ras 74 Posted September 22, 2009 Author Posted September 22, 2009 That is correct my friends... The Merlin Passes :D So the begining of May!! Sounds good. Will come back with some ideas soon about dates.
KimT Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Billund - we did Günzburg last year and Windsor ins't until 2011
Christian Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 I voted for Billund, since that's the only realistic option for me.
Ras 74 Posted September 29, 2009 Author Posted September 29, 2009 I changed the date for last day of voting. It seems we got a winner in this after all. On thursday I will inform Jan Beyer that we will be in Billund (if nothing dramatic last minute will happend ;) ). I will tell him a rough date as well, end April - beginning of May. This year 1st of May is a saturday. That is bad... So I will be back with a new vote on what weekend this might take place. But I think eighter 23-25 of April, or 30 of April to 2 of May. How does this sounds?
Quarryman Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 So I will be back with a new vote on what weekend this might take place.But I think eighter 23-25 of April, or 30 of April to 2 of May. How does this sounds? I still think 14th-16th of May is the best, but I'll make it anyway
Captain Zuloo Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 I vote Australia! But I figure that won't be happening.
Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted September 30, 2009 Eurobricks Emperor Posted September 30, 2009 I've been looking into the dates. There is a Christian holiday on Thursday 13th of May. So in Belgium (and I assume other countries around also) we'll also have a holiday on that day and the next. For this reason I suggest the event starts on Thursday 13th of May and goes until Sunday 16th of May. It will save me some precious holidays, and I assume it will be the same for other Europeans.
Ras 74 Posted September 30, 2009 Author Posted September 30, 2009 Anyone that knows if our Seasonpasses is still valid to that weekend 13-16 of May?
Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted September 30, 2009 Eurobricks Emperor Posted September 30, 2009 Anyone that knows if our Seasonpasses is still valid to that weekend 13-16 of May? If the Merlin permium pass which Quarryman mentions is the same as the seasonpass which you mention, then things should be OK. If you guys bought those annual passes during last years event it should be OK (last year the event started 20th of May). Of course, I suggest you double check as I'm making assumptions. I thought we agreed on Billund as many of us wil get in there for free due to having the Merlin premium pass? (this is of course if we go before 20th of May).
Holodoc Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Of course, I suggest you double check as I'm making assumptions. I will call Legoland later about that. If the Merlin passes are still valid on ascension day and the days around (what I expect), I would prefer that later time for our event. It's a lot easier to get a day off if there is a "bridge-day" (meaning the friday between ascension day and the weekend). The weather is hopefully more sunny then too.
Quarryman Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 I've been looking into the dates.There is a Christian holiday on Thursday 13th of May.

For this reason I suggest the event starts on Thursday 13th of May and goes until Sunday 16th of May. It will save me some precious holidays, and I assume it will be the same for other Europeans. Exactly the reason why I proposed those dates, getting 4 days off while only spending one precious day of leave. (and for us Norwegians it will be a super-weekend as the Norwegian national day is the Monday after, so that's another day off ) Anyone that knows if our Seasonpasses is still valid to that weekend 13-16 of May? Just checked mine, it says valid until 21st of May 2010. (or rather "gueltig bis", but Google Translate assures me that means "valid until" )
Morten Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 One comment. We need to have a work-day there, so if possible we have a change to do something special in there park etc! Morten
Holodoc Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 There is a Christian holiday on Thursday 13th of May. So in Belgium (and I assume other countries around also) we'll also have a holiday on that day and the next. One comment. We need to have a work-day there, so if possible we have a change to do something special in there park etc! You lucky Belgians! In Germany the friday is a complete "normal" working day (a lot of people take one holiday-day though, but officially it's a working day). I don't know if this is the case for Denmark too. If yes, we have a solution for your problem, Morten!
Ras 74 Posted October 1, 2009 Author Posted October 1, 2009 Billund 2010, here we come!! So can we settle the date 13-16 of May as well? I will take that as a preliminary date so far. Will inform Jan Beyer today as well. @ Quarry:I assume we can trust the translation there ;) If not Holo (ze German specialist) has any grammar to correct
