ECC Trips

From time to time during the year, members of the European Coaster Club are invited to participate in trips to ride roller coasters and other thrill rides all over England and the rest of Europe.

A trip will normally spend one or more days at a park and include food and at least one ERS (Exclusive Ride Session, where a ride is given over for a period, usually an hour, for the exclusive use of ECC trip-goers). Sometimes, some "extras" can also be arranged, such as a "behind the scenes" tour. The detailed trip invitations (issued a few weeks before the trip) explain what each trip includes.

On this page you will find reports written by Club members about trips they have enjoyed and information about forthcoming Club events. If you like what you read why not join the European Coaster Club now and you'll be invited along to the next Club trip!

As usual, all ECC members will receive detailed printed invitations to all Club events by post, but if you have any questions about Club trips or suggestions for future events, please email the trips team

Of course, all the trip photos are available in the Photo Gallery

Future Trips

If you're interested in what trips we are planning for the future, please see our Future Trips Schedule where we list all our planned trips, no matter what their status.

South Korea & Japan 2009

5 - 20 September 2009

After the hugely successful 2005 trip to Japan, it was only a matter of time before we returned. We wanted to visit the south of Japan, and in doing so we realised it would make sense to include parks in South Korea. This includes Everland, which is home to T Express, the Intamin coaster that recently topped the Internet Wooden Coaster Poll. In Japan we'll hit a lot of parks that weren't on the 2005 trip, plus just a few that were.

Invites and Application forms for this trip have been emailed to the PDF list and will be included with the next issue of First Drop. You can also download a copy from the PDF Library.

Deadline for applications: Friday 20th March 2009
