Righty Ho - It's finally time for me to get on with Part 1 of 5 of the Swarm ERT Photo Event Report. Sorry on the delay - will post one everyday until Saturday which will conclude with the official group photo for this meet :D

So on our 3rd adventure of the year - what situations will we find our TPM members in this time? -_-

On arrival to the park Sidders became so overjoyed he bounced around like a kid :lol:

The morning crew of Sidders, Husky, MattoMoo, Mer, Han30 & Mr. Fish say hello before their first ride of the day :)

2_zpsfb69720c.jpg

However Exciteable Sidders cannot wait any longer so rushes to the test seat hoping for it to calm him down :unsure:

4_zps8557ab88.jpg

When the rest of the morning crew are seen in the distance coming to join us everyone jumps for joy :D

3_zpse70d1510.jpg

Did I mention this is Han30's first time at Thorpe Park in 11 years :o . The nerves kick in so Husky drags Han30 into the volcanoe...

5_zps63e7671a.jpg

Finally Sidders along with Peaj get to the front seat of Inferno - Sidders can finally calm down now :P

6_zps8ef76adb.jpg

However disaster struck and the volcano erupted....Hailstones..... Which of course stops when the ride finished! Dara & Peaj come off in pain & very soggy :excl:

7_zps3d1c9603.jpg

Han30 got on! Her first ever major coaster. Han is joined by Husky & Mr Fish with some random dude who thought he'd try and hog the spot light :ph34r:

8_zpsbdc3625b.png

By the time we got to Colossus - Han30 was an expert to all this coaster riding and just started chilling like a hippie whilst riding B) Peaj is there too!

9_zps14e789a1.jpg

Sadly for the childly Sidders - He throws a tantrum as he is no longer on his inferno :angry2: Pluk is like WTF as MattyMoo looks at a handbag in the queueline!

10_zpsa5501c5c.jpg

And there we leave it - Sidders in a strop. Will he come out of his strop? Will MattyMoo obtain a handbag fetish? And will Pluk cause a fight? All will be seen in the future episodes of the SWARM ERT PHOTOSHOOT EVENT! :mellow:

Welcome to Part 2 of 5 of the Swarm ERT Event (You lucky people :P ) Last night we left you with Sidders throwing a tantrum.

MattoMoo went bag hunting, therefore got on Detty after the rest . Everybody sing it now - 'All by myseellf, Don't wanna be...' :lol:

11_zps263a1440.jpg

Whilst waiting Han30 & Mer had a pouting contest by Tidal Wave :wacko:

12_zps29d37bcf.jpg

The contest/ games continued as we ventured to Saw: The Ride where Peaj picked up the ladies :mellow:

13_zps724239fa.jpg

Meanwhile, Rumba was playing a more evil game than Saw ever could and kept picking on Tommy to soak him :o

14_zpscf9ddccd.jpg

Sidders is not impressed with Tommy screaming and MattyMoo protects his bag at all costs ;)

15_zpsb8bf7fae.jpg

Captain Pluk leads the boat behind, with Mer, Husky & Mr Fish. As you can see Mr Fish does good sailor boy faces :P

16_zps70235617.jpg

After our soaking it was time for some great food in Bar 360 and we welcome Dodge to the party ^_^

17_zps28018ce1.jpg

After Lunch it was time for Depth Charge. The child in Sidders came back out but Pluk shows him how to do it and wins B)

18_zpsd7018618.png

What's happened to Mer's Face! I always thought she wasn't human... :blink:

19_zpsc464dcd2.png

Watch out Ladies - Mr Fish is in town and he knows how to use that eyebrow :wub:

20_zps09b6308f.png

So there we have it - racing down Depth Charge on our way to meet up with the afternoon people. The morning crew is about to expand, but who will they come across? I hear some mischief makers are making their way onto the scene - some Guildford antics make a return and MattyMoo comes face to face with his dreams :glare: There is only one way to find out the happenings of these TPM legends and that is to tune in somepoint tomorrow. What time I hear you ask? Well your gonna just have to keep checking :ninja:

Welcome to the middle of our story - Part 3 of 5 In fact! We left you with the flirty Mr. Fish before we went to join some more people into our fold ;)

And Mr Fish Flirting works as Phill Pritchard, Michelle & StevenVig are attracted to his flirtatious powers :P ready to have a midday group photo.

21_zps50ace183.jpg

Oh no! Peaj is replicating what he did in Guildford and starts dancing again with Mer :wacko: as long as he doesn't do the point it'll be ok....

22_zpsa48a6ece.jpg

Ah Geez - Peaj has done the 'point.' - The world is doomed :unsure: Mer seems joyous though...

23_zps7463fb8e.jpg

After a long time apart - there is a HUGE EMOTIONAL BIG REUNION between Tommy & Ellie - It's so sweet :wub: StevenVig is like Well Jel....

24_zpscda21dec.jpg

Afterwards it's off to #BraveItTunnelless, Michelle & Peaj are excited & Sidders is stilling throwing a strop he is not on Nemesis Inferno anymore :blink:

25_zpsac8d172d.jpg

In the boat behind - which looks a bit of a squeeze is Phill Pritchard, MattyMoo (Wearing his bag proudly :) ), Dodge & Captain Pluk.

26_zps560ad752.jpg

Whilst Everyone was on Loggers StevenVig, Tommy & Ellie squirt everyone in the boats :angry: No wonder they look sheepish - And yes Ellie you hide in shame!

27_zps6e7aab19.jpg

After those antics it is time to head to the Swarm photoshoot - Han30 gives us an evil glare as we drag her towards it :ph34r:

28_zps813fa265.png

Peaj holding onto a whistle all day, waiting for the perfect time to use it - Grabs his chance and blows away let people know we're here :mellow:

29_zps6ef5eb35.jpg

MattyMoo also grabs his chance by helping Peaj get everybody's bags together ready to ride the Swarm. He has finally obtained his dream :o

30_zps5f95ecb3.jpg

So there we have it - the happenings of the trip before the Swarm Photoshoot where a lot of people's mini stories for this chapter come to an end. However loads of new faces come to the picture. Captain Pluk becomes theatened when someone tries to take away his captainhood & loads of people may soon end up in the gutters as they struggle to stand after being kidnapped by THE SWARM and being drenched like a drowned rat. To know what the hell I am on about you will have to tune in approximately same time tomorrow to see the events leading up to the photoshoot! :D

Right, it's time to make way for Part 4 of 5 of the trip report - The penultimate episode - The episode where you will see a lot of standing around waiting for the rides to take shape.... :rolleyes:

I thought I'd start off with a Panoramic view of some people around the Swarm area awaiting the whole group to arrive from KFC :closedeyes:

31_zps0cdd8e41.png

We are soon joined by Jackstevens217, Jody, C1hrisn whilst TobyNBZ wonders what the hell he is doing there :huh:

32_zps245a1bcd.jpg

So the general public leave the area, without wondering why we were staying put - A very social moment in the shop occurred - It's never been so busy :excl:

33_zps588f4e75.jpg

We are then finally summoned to the station where we get prepared to #BraveItCold ;)

34_zps2e7a1780.jpg

Michelle can't bare to be on the opposite end of station, with no chance to escape from Childish Sidders throwing another tantrum as we ain't on Inferno :P

35_zps053d3982.jpg

Captain Pluk becomes theatened with a new rival trying to take his place on Row 7 and starts a fight - His deputy browneggsandham steps into help :angry2:

36_zpscdfde0fe.png

Mark9 retaliates and wins the fight - helping the damsel in distress of Husky to the back row of 7 and thereafter becomes Captain Mark9 :D

37_zps20398371.png

During this drama Michelle takes comfort by making love to an alien known as THE SWARM :o

38_zps0d46396a.jpg

The cold and the rain have taken hold of everyone and C1hrisin, Jackstevens217 & Jody become drowned rats :glare:

39_zps8467fbf5.jpg

But no rain or cold can stop Dodge & IanNem as they Reach For The Stars, enjoying the wonderful cheesy music that has been playing in the station :lol:

40_zpsf4489ec1.jpg

And there we have it the penultimate episode - Next to come on the finale of the TPM Explorers, Action Shots of THE SWARM experience. Captain Mark9 gets lost and the aftermath of the Official Group Photo of the meet that everybody has been waiting for!

You don't want to miss it - so tune in tomorrow at time'o'clock to catch this breath taking conclusion :mellow:

Welcome to the final part 5 of 5 of the Swarm Photo Shoot ERT Event. We left you last time with Dodge & IanNem reaching to the stars/ Praying to the Lord for the Swarm Event to start.... :closedeyes:

Mr Fish & Smidget having the privilege of front row show off their acting talents on THE SWARM :)

41_zps3f2d005a.jpg

Captain Mark9 gets Smidget & Marc lost by taking them on the wrong ride - You know we ain't meant to be on Stealth right now right? :P

42_zps5f79a944.jpg

Phew at least Marc has found THE SWARM again, however is about to puke all over Gary :o

43_zps4e0cf36c.jpg

After our 9 rounds of THE SWARM here is a picture of a few people putting on a brave face with the cold - Browneggsandham though is a pro at this ;)

44_zps0976d345.jpg

Whilst everyone just cannot wait to get back into their car - Dodge is still reaching out for the Lord :blink:

45_zpse97fae32.png

Everyone was able to get all their bags back off MattyMoo before we all said our goodbyes :lol:

46_zps00ed870b.jpg

So after seeing us all cold and wet it's about time to show you the 3 pictures that TPM star in within the press release - Picture 1 a billboard :D

50_zps777f0372.jpg

Thank you for everyone for such a fantastic day - Everyone stayed together during the day (Which is a first in a long time at Thorpe Park I believe) and their were many laughs to be had. Sorry I disappeared for a couple of hours during the afternoon when I know a lot of you turned up but I has lost wallet issues and needed to sort out how I was going to be able to live at the weekend going straight up To Alton Towers after the event and getting into the park etc but good news came to me on the Monday when the wallet was handed in (which I will collect tomorrow :blush: )

So yes thanks for waiting that extra day as well for me to get the report up and anyone else feel free to post your reports of the day and any pictures to this topic - All photos and one's that have not been included within the trip report you will find on my facebook page latest Monday morning. So I look forward to seeing everyone on the next meet next month, what really that soon TOMORROW!!! :mellow: In the blistering cold :mellow:
