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.

Oakwood Overnighter 11

Friday 31st July - Sunday 2nd August

For this year’s Oakwood Overnighter we have managed to bring back an old favourite - the Hydro ERS. We had to stop this a few years ago due to its opening in the afternoon, but the park has agreed to get it ready for us in the morning. To make the ERS more memorable, and who can forget those in 2003 and 2005, we will be awarding a prize for whoever dresses in the most "interesting" way for the ERS.

For those new to the Club and the event, the trip is called the “Oakwood Overnighter” because those who are willing to can camp in the park itself. We create a full camp site (with toilets, water, lights and a large screen video) on a field within the park. This means that you don’t have to seek out accommodations after a potentially long drive down.
