Not making excuses. I'd be going to ZDayZ and whatever this new event is.

I don't think the idea was to have a new ZDayZ. I think it was to have a large Z event similar to ZDayZ, ZNats, etc. that's closer to the northeast area. This is supposed to be in addition to those events and more accessible to the people in the northeast.

Maybe you can find that in the Northeast, but I dunno. Would be interesting, that's for sure.

i agree with that as well. theres plenty of places like that all over PA and also NY. now thinking about it theres also places like deep creek MD that have some potential to be nice venues.

i know of one place about 1 1/2 hours from me that is a ski resort but have tons of summer stuff as well along with lodging is Seven Springs.
PA Pennsylvania Ski Resort | Four Season Resort | Seven Springs Mountain Resort - 7 Springs

i'm sure theres some nice back roads around it. there's places like this all over PA and NY.

ZDayZ's is like 10 hrs away from me so something even half that far would be awesome.

like i said in the comment above theres plenty of places around us that could hold a ZdayZ type of event. all the ski resorts which have some mountain views and roads along with other places as well.

the 10 hour drive to ZdayZ wasnt my problem this year it was havin a place to stay lol

i may make the drive down to GA for znats at Z1 this year.

I believe that he's expressing that there is probably nowhere in the Northeast as nice as Fontana. Even if there is a new event, it most likely will not be as much fun.

easy now lol i didnt mean take it away from fontana. like the others already stated for me is i'm just suggesting a NEW event up north more to gain more peoples interest from up here to participate in something closer and then possibly get them into it enough to travel further and make zdayz and other events even bigger lol

me being on the west side of PA all these events are pretty good hikes for me to get to.

i'm sure there are plenty of places like fontana village up north where we could do this. theres probably not too many roads that can compare to the dragon but i'm sure we could make due lol

The major draw to ZDayZ is obviously having the Dragon, Hellbender, Skyway, etc all right there. There are so many great roads to drive literally right when you pull out of the FVR driveway. It really is the perfect experience for enthusiasts. Not really sure you can mimic this type of event anywhere else. But if you can, I'm IN!

Btw, I'm quitting my day job, selling my house and moving to Robbinsville to become a Dragon photographer!

i agree that there is alot right there and it IS the perfect spot for any car event. i simply was just kicking around ideas for something up north for people here and also to fill the long stretches of time in between zdayz and znats and the other major events for us Z guys.

just brainstorming lol

Zdayz can't get much bigger and fit people on that resort. Z Nationals can't get much bigger, short of Russell buying a larger lot

I doubt that another event will make those events larger. More likely, lazy people like b1ades would go to one of the three, probably not all.

I don't know about that... There were some rumors going around about Fontana's days as host drawing to an end. :P

There still are!

But if they do, the event would still be held in that area.
