The Official TPM Chessington Meet


AJ

2368 views

Hello all you TPM Explorers as we take you down into the magical Chessington where many stories and memories were formed for Part 1 of 5 of the official trip report. It was a fantastic day and it was so lovely to see all the new faces and I have to say probably one of the nicest crowds we have had so far this year. :D

Thank you for your patience whilst I've been slaving away at the office, so without further ado, it's what a few of you have all been waiting for - The Official Chessington Trip Report 2013. What will happen on the TPM Explorers 5th adventure of this year? :o

What a way to start the morning, meeting all these new faces who all happen to wear glasses... :glare:

Before you TPM Explorers start your adventure can you please read this safety sign first please :rolleyes:

Whilst It's dark, so he thinks no one will notice :ninja: - Matt Creek gets pleasure from pressing a lot of buttons!

Han30 on the other hand gets pleasure from releasing an epic fart, and then blames it on the farting chair to hide her crime :lol:

4_zps509a7b8c.jpg

It may be a bumpy ride, but Jaymiee looks a tad bored whilst Mr.Fish is on the lookout for the ladies ;)

5_zps31008ca5.jpg

With the Runaway Train off limits - Phill Pritchard tries his best to get a sneaky look in :blush:

6_zpsb9f3fad2.jpg

However Matt Creek uses his brain to go up some stairs and around the fence to see the full picture :P

7_zps54214acf.jpg

Can I please re-introduce to you all the wonderful Jackstevens217, this time sporting some smexy glasses :huh:

8_zpsd8028310.jpg

This is a Sealion you know, not a seal! :mellow:

9_zps61cfc0a2.jpg

Before some Tomb Blasting action, everyone gathers around to get ready to compete in this trips game Empire :blink:

10_zps38f6afe2.jpg

So believe it or not, but we are already at the end of Part 1 of 5 of the Official Trip Report. But what will happen tomorrow. Will someone else join the explorers? Do the TPM explorers really know what the new attraction Zufari is after chatting about it on forums for the last few months? What animals will come out to play? Plus some bromance starts to form :wub: Everyone go awww....

All these answers and more revealing fun will be out just after midnight tomorrow (That's just under 24 hours you know :) )

See you then!

Part 2

So hello everybody - all of you TPM explorers. Part 2 of 5 is later than I said in part 1, but as many people know the plans in the evening change when your out and about and I have to say, I did get this done last night but fell asleep at me laptop whilst writing the conclusion :o

So yesterday we left you with a nice photo outside the tomb blaster after people have found out about the rules of the game empire but what will we find today in the early time of the morning :unsure: .

With Jackstevens217 and JamesC now reunited. It was the beginning of the hourly bro hugs :wub:

11_zpsbaea08c8.jpg

EC! feels left out, so thought he'd find love with his biscuit :blink:

12_zpse98bf8d6.jpg

It was now time to try out the new attraction Zufari and as you can see everyone is getting immersed into the experience when they see a giraffe :)

13_zps1e805d85.jpg

On Zufari we came across some Zebras :closedeyes:

14_zps6eddc573.jpg

What you doing on Safari you fools, In this trip report I said we are currently at Zufari :glare: You cannot get the members these days I tell you.

15_zps972393dd.jpg

That's better! Get yourself off Safari Skyway and see the rest of us back at Zufari :D

16_zpse4d0595b.jpg

Now we are back all together, Did I say we came across some white rhinos B)

17_zps2de61acc.jpg

After having our first Zufari experience, Mr. Fish would like to show how happy he found the experience (and yes ladies he has chest hair - can you see it? :blush: )

18_zpsd06d1587.jpg

From a few animals to a reptile, this photo makes it appear we have taken over the Kobra - where everyone is anticipating the force of the back rests :mellow:

19_zpsfc14b2c2.jpg

To finish Part 2 off, I would like to introduce to you MarkC who has come to join us for the second half of the day :lol:

20_zps80288013.jpg

Tomorrow, what will we find in part 3 now the TPM explorer gang is complete? Has Mr. Monkey from Thorpe Park been eyeing out the competition? And how do the explorers gather their energy to defeat the competition in Empire? Well you can find out tomorrow when the you will find out the answers to these thought defying questions :rolleyes:

Part 3

Hello you scrumptious TPM explorers for Part 3 of 5 of the Official TPM Chessie Trip report. We last left you with the crew getting confused between a Safari & a Zufari, whilst meeting the last member to join the gang. So what will we find today I wonder... :blush:

On the way to Black Buccaneer, TopsyTurvy15 practices his rock climbing skills by jumping the pool of death :huh:

21_zps44979950.jpg

TopsyTurvy15 looks relieved to of made it to the boat, whilst Jaymiee still looks unimpressed :angry: (even though we have taken up half the boat!)

22_zpsedf27207.jpg

However MarkC is way too short to ride and is refused entry before this lovely ride attendant announced the '4th rule' of our ride ;)

24_zps64ede232.jpg

Meanwhile the banana boat, being really small in comparison to Black Buccaneer, tries to act BIG by chilaxing with a spiff B) overlooking the ride...

23_zpsa9275c84.jpg

ScaryCoasterBoy really wants to win the game empire so decides to recharge his batteries ready for the battle ahead :lol:

25_zps10145709.jpg

ThrillSeekerAlex on the other hand does not need solar power to re-energise for the oncoming battle -_-

26_zpsf28d0b41.jpg

TopsyTurvy15 eyes out the competition, and works out how he can defeat ScaryCoasterBoy :ph34r:

27_zps80b6ac48.jpg

ScaryCoasterBoy however finds an opportunity to finish off TopsyTurvy15, EC!, Jonny392 & TP1214 before TopsyTurvy15 defeats him.... :glare:

28_zps6048cd18.jpg

And pushes them all to their death :( down a gigantic slope, to the deadliest bath time in existence!

29_zps4dc56e8d.jpg

To celebrate some people getting defeated out of the game, everyone went for a calming spin on the monkey swinger :D

30_zps6df5da02.jpg

And there we have it - just over half way through our trip report and there is unbelievably still 2 more parts to go :excl:. But who will win the Empire game? Why did Peaj get so down? And who out of the explorers worships the vampire? I have no idea how you will find out unless you come back tomorrow to find out. You do not want to miss it :)

Part 4

So you cheeky TPM Explorers, we have reached the 4th part of 5 at this early hour which means we are at the penultimate episode. Previously we have seen how our explorers get their energy in preparation for battle and a banana overseeing the events - so what will we find today... :wacko:

Phill Pritchard, Jaymiee & ScaryCoasterBoy are the last 3 muskerteers standing in battle (With EC! Trying to get in on the shot :glare: )

31_zpsdd1710e6.jpg

To be honest, it's amazing how Jaymiee has got so far - just look at him :blink:

32_zps0af90192.jpg

Mer, JamesC & ....EC! Again... :mellow: get ready to help knock out the last contenders with some tuk tuks

33_zps3982669d.jpg

TopsyTurvy15 back from the grave and ThrillSeekerAlex are getting geared up and ready to crash into everyone :huh:

34_zpsa20e1870.jpg

After the final battle on the dodgems, the leader of the empire came through.....It was...Jaymiee :o, who donated his prize to the very chuffed ScaryCoasterBoy

35_zps97c4cb63.jpg

Peaj is completely devastated that Jaymiee won :angry: - he designed the game to be to hard for Jamiee to win....

36_zps9d930a1d.jpg

Meanwhile whilst this fiasco was going on. MarkC gets really excited like a kid in a candy store and holds up the entire queue for 5 years :P

37_zpsce5426e2.jpg

This is one groovy talented Vampire with his organ - It's just so lucky he has no followers or he'll take over the world :ph34r:

38_zps01d31514.jpg

Oh No! I didn't know Han30 worshipped the evil vampire :wub: EC! Catches her praying/ meditating to the vampire and screams as he cannot escape!

39_zpsb2890e39.jpg

To finish off part 4 after all the drama that has happened today - I thought It would be nice to show a lovely photo from the fury queue line :D EC! AGAIN!!!!

40_zpsefd8a1d4.jpg

And there we have it Part 4 of 5 is complete and we have found out a member who likes to hog the limelight B), But will he hog any more photo's on this adventure? What happened to some of the explorers after they left Chessington? And who ends up needing to be claimed? I don't know how you'll find out these answers but what I do know is that if you come back at trip'o'clock tomorrow you will find the conclusion to the adventure and the Official Group Photo will be available for all to see :) I can just hear the screams of excitement...

Part 5 (The Final Part)

So....All you TPM Explorers, it is the time you have all been waiting for. The conclusion - Part 5 of 5 of the Official TPM Chessington Trip Report. We have founf out who won Empire and yes the Lost Coaster Of Superstition Mountain DOES exist (good one ThrillSeekerAlex) and yes the end is nigh :( but what will we find on the last leg of our journey? Just remember we last left the adventure with that calm photo in the Dragon's Fury Queue line. :mellow:

EC! The photo hogger and Peaj get spun around in shock as the dragon unleashes it's anger on them :blink:

41_zpsd9b5133e.jpg

ThrillSeekerAlex, JamesC & JackStevens217 appear relaxed and pleased that they have slayed the dragon ^_^

42_zps0f380c92.jpg

Everyone loves it when the dragon gets furious - Thumbs up everyone :P

43_zps84296a9e.jpg

After our spin we found out Zufari was still open. We sprinted as fast as we could to get there for a last ride, Only to find...the gates were still thankfully open :)

44_zps0c17ca44.jpg

After our sprint to Zufari, we were hungry, so then ran full pelt until we got to the Monkey Puzzle Beefeater :wub:

45_zps13bf7864.jpg

With all this running around, it was too much for Han30, who collapsed out of breathe :o

46_zps8a778f34.jpg

The super fit Phill Pritchard was disappointed with Han30's Stamina - but was even more disappointed with 3 other Individuals :angry2:

47_zpsec668ae7.jpg

Mr.Fish, Peaj & ThrillSeekerAlex to be precise - Who were all eating a lovely big Chocolate Brownie Sundae :blush:

48_zps55326918.jpg

Before we leave this adventure, we are sorry to report that a kid has been sent to Lost & Found - Does anyone know anyone who can claim him :lol:

49_zps49013368.jpg

And now the photo everyone has been waiting for - The Official Chessington 2013 Group Photo :D

50_zpsd85bdc88.jpg

Can I just say how much of a great day this had been. Everything just seemed to work - The sun was out, there was an extremely good crowd that attended :excl: and the day just seemed to flow naturally with ease. One of my favourites of the year for me come to think of it. So this adventure has come to a close, but for those who came to this meet also know that another adventure is looming before we go clubbing at Thorpe Park. But where? Only one way to find out and that is to wake up on Thursday Morning to find an Official TPM Announcement :ninja:

Peace People x x x
