Suggestions for future EF locations
CleanerWolf:
While driving back from Magdeburg to Berlin, my co-driver Charon mentioned some interesting location - Tropical Islands.

It's a very very large hall, the largest in the world which is now used as some kind of holiday refugium with lots of plants, pools, bungalows and campsites. There are some stages, bars and restaurants too. Around the hall are some more hotels and campsites. It's hard to say, whether there are enough beds for 1000+ people, more research about this would be needed. Prices are moderate, because TI still suffers under lack of visitors.
A downside may be the climate condition, because they keep the temperature in the hall at 26 degree celsius, which could be problematic for fursuiters.
I am not sure about dogs being allowed... probably not in the pool areas, but I couldn't find specific information about that.
What do you think?
Any other ideas?
I am sure, there are better places than Maritim Magdeburg, we just have to discover them :)
Edit:
Ok, it seems, that dogs are NOT allowed in TI, so no suitable location for me. Grrrml... ::)

If you find a hotel that has at least 1,000 beds and function space for 1,500 people, give me a call. Oh, and it should be no more than €80/night, and the staff needs to be able to bend over backwards to accomodate a furry con.
What, you haven't found any?
That's what I thought.
CleanerWolf:
If it has to be a hotel, the Estrel in Berlin could be an alternative, but I am not sure about the prices. That would need some investigation and negotiation. But I am not in the right position to do that, because I am no official Furcon e.V. member.
Riffuchs:
The Estrel in Berlin is WAY TOO large for EF's needs and also way too expensive. But I wouldn't mind - It's just five kilometers away from home :D
foxb:
New hotel is awesome! Yeah its not the Ringberg but you know things change and such. Six years from now when were too big for this hotel everyone will be wanting to stay here as well. ^.^
