It’s HalloWeekends Time!

Thursday, September 26th, 2019

September is under way, which means HalloWeekends is here! We are heading to Cedar Point this month and next on our Cedar Point Line Run for their Halloween celebration. Every Saturday, you can join us for a day filled with fun and frights at the Midwest’s top amusement park! You will be able to enjoy all of your favorite rides in addition to Halloween-themed events, performances, mazes, and haunted houses.

Worried about the fright factor? HalloWeekends doesn’t have to be scary! During the day, Cedar Point has The Great Pumpkin Fest, which features family-appropriate fall activities. Included are arts and crafts, trick-or-treating with Peanuts characters, The Great Pumpkin Parade, themed games, and indoor mazes (without monsters, of course). New for 2019 is the maze Hexed Spellbound: In the Dark, where attendees can use a blacklight to explore the witches’ lair to see what secrets lie around each corner.

Looking to be properly spooked? Haunt at HalloWeekends takes place every evening with haunted mazes, outdoor scare zones, spooky live shows, and sinister haunted attractions. One of the new attractions this year is Cornstalkers 2.0: Revenge of the Pumpkin Heads, which is a horrifying corn maze complete with deranged pumpkin heads, farmers, animals, and living corn stalks ready to scare you into never coming back again! Prepare to be terrified as you face your fears!

Whether you attend for the fun or the fright, our Cedar Point Line Run is the perfect option for taking you to HalloWeekends. Relax in our luxury motor coach buses with either music or movies to entertain and enjoy your hassle-free trip to the park! Reserve your spot on our Cedar Point Line Run today for a Saturday filled with Halloween thrills!

Please note: Guests are not permitted to wear masks, makeup or costumes while inside the park, with the exception of children who are participating in the Kids’ Costume Contest.

It’s Time to Fly!

Thursday, May 24th, 2018

The holidays are approaching, and that means vacations are coming! We know getting ready for vacations can be hectic and stressful, but we’re ready to take some of the stress away by being your go-to airport transportation. With our array of vehicles, we can accommodate your every need, from small to large groups, along with handicap accessible vehicles.

If you have yet to book your transportation, we walk you through that process in this article. Once you’ve gone through those steps, your vehicle will be booked and you’ll be all set for your trip! If you’ve booked transportation to the airport, on the day of your trip, your driver will arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled pick-up time. This is to allow enough time for you to get your things together and meet your driver outside of your pick-up location. The driver will then take you to the departures section at the airport and help you unload your luggage with a sendoff for a great expedition!

If you’re booking transportation from the airport, we ask that you do it at least 24 hours in advance. Upon arrival at the airport, your driver will meet you in the arrivals section by the baggage claim. Your driver will help you carry your luggage to their vehicle, which will be parked in the parking structure. Once you are all situated in the vehicle, you will be off to your destination!

Booking your airport transportation with Trinity is the one ingredient that will provide relaxing travel time for you and your guests. We can’t wait to help make your trip the best it can be!

Trips on a Trinity Motor Coach

Thursday, March 29th, 2018

So you’ve planned a group trip that will last two or more days, and you’re wondering how the process works and what to expect…well, we will lay it all out for you! We’re here to provide you with all of the necessary information for what to expect during the process of your motor coach trip so your mind can be at ease when planning.

What to Expect After Booking

After requesting a quote and booking your trip, the motor coach reservations specialist you’ve been in contact with will provide you with a contract/confirmation that contains a trip number, day of departure, and date of return, which is required to be signed and returned. You will also be asked to provide a detailed itinerary and on-site contact, which will ensure there is constant contact between the group and the driver. Once the final itinerary is reviewed, it is sent to our motor coach dispatch department, then a driver is assigned to the trip and given the itinerary. After the driver is assigned to your trip, you will receive the driver’s name, cell phone number, and the number(s) of the bus(es) that will be used for your trip. You will also receive our 24-hour dispatch number in case it is needed. The day before your trip, your motor coach reservations specialist will call you to verbally confirm every detail of your trip is correct.

Day-Of Process

When the day of your trip arrives, the driver(s) will pick you up in your motor coach(es) at the discussed pick-up time and location. You will then be transported to your destination(s). Please note that destinations with travel time longer than 8 hours will require more than one driver for each motor coach. This second driver (or more, depending on travel time) will meet your current driver at a specified location to switch. Since your trip is 2+ days long, you will be required to provide accommodations for your driver at each destination. While at your destination (or each destination if you have more than one), your driver can take you to wherever you need to go – as long as it is included in your itinerary!

After Your Trip

After your trip is over and you return home, you are all set! Our motor coach reservations specialist will reach out to you to see how everything went and for any feedback about your trip.
