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.

The Welsh Weekender 2010

Friday 6th August - Sunday 8th August

Those eagle eyed amongst you may have noticed that the trip has had a name change this year. After 11 successful Oakwood Overnighters we have added something special for 2010 hence the name change to 'The Welsh Weekender'.

For those new to the Club and the event, the trip used to be called the "Oakwood Overnighter" because those who are willing to can camp in Oakwood Theme Park. 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 accommodation after a potentially long drive down. This year’s trip is a little different as we will be opening the campsite after 6pm on the Thursday evening to enable people to enjoy a full day at Oakwood on the Friday.

New for 2010: Just under 5 miles away from Oakwood lies Folly Farm Adventure Park, home of Europe’s largest undercover vintage funfair. The trips team have organised a two hour exclusive park session at Folly Farm on their fantastic historic preserved fairground rides after the park has closed to the public on the Friday.
