What they are saying...

I liked meeting new people from everywhere and having very interesting experiences throughout the summer. -- Camper 2006
"""We feel confident that there is no room for improvement in the painstakingly detailed arrangements Ira has made. It will be a great summer!!!"" -- Parent"
"""Our daughter was looking for a teen tour after attending sleep-away camp for 4 summers and we found ThrillCoaster Tours offered a great transition because it will give her the opportunity to travel to amazing locations and be home on the weekends."" --- Parent, Central Valley, NY"
"""Ira seems to have addressed all the concerns we had with our previous camp. Our son is looking forward to the summer now. We know he will have a great time and be safe."" --- Parent, Randolph, NJ"
I went to this camp to have fun and ride roller coasters! Last summer was a blast and this summer was even better!! You also get to meet a lot of really good friends when you go to this tour! -- Camper 2005 and 2006
In addition to Ira, the tour counselors were excellent. We also feel that Ira's wife, Laura is instrumental to making Thrill Coaster Tours a fantastic, memorable program for the kids. Bottom line, this camp company offers a secure way for kids to enjoy aggressive thrill rides without the parents spending hours getting heatstroke while "benchwarming" and waiting for their kids to come off the rides. It's an awesome win-win!
This is the most well thought out and planned summer camp for kids that I have ever found. Ira talked with us in depth over the phone about all the details. He found the airlines and the flights for Carson to take...and found us great deals too. This was very important for us since Carson is traveling from Texas. ThrillCoaster Tours has everything covered. More importantly, I know my son will be under constant adult supervision. They are traveling on a beautiful bus, staying in great hotels, eating three good meals a day and having loads of fun with other kids who love coasters too! As parents of children in today's world, we are always concerned for the safety of our children. We chose Thrillcoasters for all of the aforementioned but we booked his summer camp with ThrillCoaster Tours because we knew he would be safe. Tom and Lisa Austin, Texas

Thank you for offering such a unique opportunity for our roller coaster obsessed teen. We appreciated the fact that things were so organized and we never had to worry about the safety or wellbeing of our son throughout the week. We also very much appreciated the incredible photos that you took. I am certain that there were many endless hours spent editing and uploading. The happiness captured daily was incredible! I thoroughly enjoyed listening to our son talk a mile a minute on the way home from picking him up. Even though he was exhausted he continued to share stories for another 2+ hours. When he went to bed he said “this week was the greatest week of my life”

First time on tour!! We are beyond grateful to Ira and your staff for offering such an incredible teen tour!!!

This year was my 13 year old son's first tour, and he had the time of his life. He is still talking about the best part of the summer, the Get to The Point Tour. Ira, you are wonderful and do a fantastic job. He can't wait until next summer!
"What was your favorite part of ThrillCoaster Tours??? As a parent, it was a tie. It was when they left at the beginning of a session and when they returned home at the end of that same trip. But my most favorite was seeing the kids' faces when they returned from each session as they described their experiences and the tremendous amount of fun they had. -- Parent 2006"
The staff was awesome, definitely no complaints. --Camper 2006
I can't tell you enough how comfortable I felt leaving her in your hands. I knew in my heart (and I was right) that you would take care of her as if she was your own child!
As an aside, my son has participated in 2 ultra expensive summer programs, one a residence program at an Ivy League university, and frankly, only Ira's tour required an 18 page info packet to be filled out before the camp, and only Ira's tour had unprecedented, excellent supervision and security.
The best event was definitely jet boating even though we got drenched and it was cold ..it was something i probably wouldn't do on my own.. The best park was probably Canada's wonderland though I'm in love with Darien lakes ride of steel -- Camper 2007
The trip itself was incredible. The fact that you take them to "real" restaurants and "real" hotels was a real plus for Jennifer. She had a blast!
"""We have been sending children to private camp for over 10 years. We are incredibly impressed with the depth of planning and safety measures ThrillCoaster Tours has put in place. It puts others to shame."" --- Parent, NJ"
I have always loved roller coasters and i find them a lot of fun but i hardly get to go to amusement parks and it was just so great to go this tour gives me an opportunity to go on the roller coasters that i want and with people that like them like me. -- Camper 2006
"""After meeting with Ira and his staff, I have never felt more comfortable about my child's summer before."" --- Parent, Manalapan, NJ"
The staff at Thrill Coaster tours is fun and willing to do whatever you want to do and to help you feel more comfortable while on tour. -- Camper 2006
She had the time of her life and met some great friends. It is something she will remember forever. One of my favorite parts of TCT was looking at the pictures on a daily basis. Seeing those kids having such a great time was a lot of fun! --Mom 2006
"Overall, the value for the money was EXCELLENT, and frankly, I am not sure how you make a profit with all you include in the trip price. Once again, many thanks for a great time!"
