Almost 10 years ago, a couple of my friends and I started going to this car show in the dells. Since then, we have made it our annual pilgrimage to celebrate spring and to eat/drink/yell at cars. I am putting an open invite to everyone to experience this AWESOME weekend. Here's some details. Who: From around here, Jesse, Brian, Myself and Mike B. (sorry, I forgot everyone's screen names). There are a couple of people we no from Wisconsin. Also a bunch of my friends from Chicago. ANY car is welcome. None of my Chicago buddies drive Subaru's. Although they are always interested. What: Classic car show held at Noah's Arc. We usually set up shop on the strip. You will see all sorts of cars. Ricers, Subaru's, exotics, bro trucks, classics, donks, lowriders. Its similar to the Woodward Dream Cruise, just it takes place in "Hillbilly Vegas" Where: Wisconsin Dells. We usually get a block of rooms at one of the Mt Olympus properties. Reason for staying at one of their properties is because you get free access to their theme park. This includes rollercoasters and go-karts. When: Friday 5/16- Sunday 5/18. We usually take Friday off and leave Friday morning and take our time cruising down. Tentative timeline of events: Show up Friday around noon, hit the pool, watch the cars roll in, dinner, etc. Friday night, ?????. We never know what really will happen, usually involves loads of shenanigans. Saturday morning, wake up and go to breakfast. Go out for a "spirited" drive through the Wisconsin countryside. Drive back to the hotel, hit the pool, take a nap, bbq, then reconvene with our lawn chairs on the strip. Saturday night again, who knows what will happen. Last year there was bewbs, a button, cops yelling, and drag racing (not us), and Jeff Gordon. (yes, THAT Jeff Gordon) Its really hard to put into words, but it is a cheap, car filled weekend. Car enthusiasts ALWAYS love this trip. Post up, lets see who is interested. We'll post hotel details, meet spots to go down there and any other questions anyone might have. Hope to see some of you there! Here is a video from 2010. Just look up "AutoMotion" on youtube, you'll get more of an idea of what its all about.
Hey what ever people do when they're away from us is fine. I'm not going to get a ticket though. Anyone underage will not be drinking with us. I know, that dude is weird
It really is best to not be drinking if you're planning on doing any driving at all. A friend of mine got a $500 ticket just for revving his engine a few years back.
Exactly. Most the hotels give you a list of laws and fines for breaking them. In our group, if anyone has even 1 beer they don't drive. Its not worth it.
Yeah the fines there for automotive related stuff is steep that weekend to deter/control behavior but the cops like if you set up street races so they can bust people haha
I've seen this, they love it.... But they hate that they gave a bunch of idiots control of the traffic lights.... We found a work around for that though
How the hell did I miss your post?!? Oh yea, you'd have a blast at this.... Bump for hotels booked. We're staying at Mikinos Village. Others got a room at the Flamingo. Looking forward to this year!
[QUOTE="Bump for hotels booked. We're staying at Mikinos Village. Others got a room at the Flamingo. Looking forward to this year![/QUOTE] What type of room and how much did mykonos village run you? At flamingo for the family suite (sleeps 6-8 comfortably) ran us $360 or a little more if I remember right total for both nights. Also, do you know where to get the automotion coupon books? You get a lot of half off admission to misc stuff and food discounts!
hotel Rome is super weird about requesting rooms next to each other. Everything is close to walking distance, so where ever they put you we'll all be close.

Ours was a bit more than $360. But we get free wristbands to the theme park. the gokarts suck, but are unlimited. So that makes up for it. Also, the wooden coasters are badass. So it's worth the extra money IMO.
I'll just leave this here... http://fox6now.com/2014/03/28/police-lap-bar-failed-in-mt-olympus-roller-coaster-accident/
Well I decided I'm going to this. Just need to call and book a hotel room. Anyone have a suggjestion will prob be just me unless I find some friends to ride with me.
Get a room at Mt Olympus somewhere. You'll get a wristband for the amusement park. well worth the money. Some friends from Chicago have room for another person. If you don't care I can ask them if its cool if you stay with them. We're PACKED in our room, otherwise I'd say stay with us. Also, take Friday off so you can do breakfast with us and caravan down there!
Caravan will work out. So just looked at the dates. Somehow I thought this was in june lol. but since its in may thats good news. Old lady will be coming with. So prob will just get my own room.
Cool, I'll reach out to them. You'll get along, they're all RWD dudes. We pretty much stay put on friday. So finding us won't be hard if you end up getting a room on your own. And most of Mt Olympus is walk-able.
I got the 2 queen with a bunk room so If other people do come we do have some beds avail. They have a good promotion going on right now. Got the room for $117 a night + tax.
nice. Im working on recruiting some more of my friends from another forum that live in tx and mi to come up as well. We will see how it goes. Figure if I can fill my room to we could all stay there for about $60 for the 3 nights and well thats hella cheap lol
yea, you'll love this weekend. Cheap, LOTS going on. So fun. Our drive on Saturday morning is usually the highlight. So really fun roads in that area. Beautiful too
brz will be tuned up and ready to go. If my friend from tx comes up he will prob drive my wrx up there but ill have to see if I can find some one with a loaner set of rims and tires I can borrow for the weekend as I sold all my 5x114 rims and tires that could be used in the warmer temps.
Found the brochure for this year online. Bunch of savings and stuff so you have moar money for car parts lol http://edition.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/Launch.aspx?EID=8013a9fe-9c70-4d86-8168-eba939751ff8
Good friend of ours just called. He'll be in town from California and will be attending this year. Rob AKA nosser2.5 (on mnsubaru) woohoo!
I have open space in my room. Only 100% people in my 6 person room is me and my old lady tight now. 2 co-workers are maybes
