It has been a long time coming but the storyboard is complete, the drunken captures have been taken and Episode 8 of the Maniacs Adventures is about to hit your screen So brace yourselves for Part 1 of 5 of the Official Trip Report of the Ministry of Sound @ Thorpe Park - 90's Style! (As a personal note there has been some great trip reports from you guys on this event).
Today Colossus is on 1 train operation, so for the under 18's it was a must do first ride .
How many people can you spot from TPM in the last 2 photo's? You should be able to see 5 on the train It's like playing Where's Wally - TPM Style!
Having no queue Rocky Express was the next point of call and TopsyTurvy15 & J.S217 get ready to chase that Indian
Rocket & Peaj however are more interested in annoying them throughout the ride by Poking them until they scream
Matt Creek feeling left out looks absolutely disgusted he has to ride Rocky Express when he thought he was here for the club night
Due to the extreme heat even this early in the morning the group take shelter in the shade of the Rumba Queueline.
Phill Pritchard, Rocket & Towers Nerd Matt get ready for an unusual soaking on Rumba Rapids
The waters look very rough today, but both boats are full of smiles
The meet organisers of the day Stretchy & Peaj give a bigs thumbs up to the extremely wet Rumba ride
Detective Luke_A is back! If only he was old enough to be present in the mystery of Part 5 Other smily faces include Matt, Topytuvy15 & Pluk.
And here we are the end of Part 1 already, sometimes they just finish really quick don't they? But don't worry in approximately 24 hours you will have Part 2 to enjoy your lunch time hour with But I will leave you with these thoughts. Why does Peaj make people Ill? What is the quickest way to cool off without queuing for a water ride? And are the Maniacs starting up a new shoe range? hmmm yes that's got you thinking!
Hello all you wannabe munchkins and I congratulate you for coming back to Part 2 of 5 of TPM's Official Trip Report @ The Ministry of Sound - Thorpe Park Style For all those that questioned Stretchy looking soaked from Rumba Rapids and wondering if Tidal Wave followed beforehand, the water was ALL from Rumba, Tidal Wave happens later in the journey. So let's pick up a sandwich for your lunch time read and get stuck in....
ScaryCoasterBoy, Saskerina, EC!, Luke_A, J.S217, Matt Creek & TopsyTurvy15 (Who has finally sorted out his greasy hair ) are enjoying the sun.
These same people then prove they are brave enough to take on THE SWARM, bar a couple of cry babies as Phill Pritchard scared them off with his sun hat.
Only being able to handle 1 non-wet ride at a time in this heat - To save queuing - Matt Creek, Matt @ TN, 'Plus 1' Chris & Peaj wait on a Tidal Wave
To have a spin dry, Stretchy & Matt Creek take a on a Storm that started brewing in this teacup
Just look at this action shot, Peaj is really concentrating on getting that teacup spinning Whilst J.S217 is having a Jolly Good Time...
Until sitting all by himself in a cup with Coaster Crazy @ TN gets too much for J.S217 emotionally That Heat I tell you breaks people down!
Storm in a Teacup comes to an end & Peaj is satisfied on his spinning abilities. However it's too much to handle for TopsyTurvy15, Rocket & Phill Pritchard.
Starting to get ready for the Ministry of Sound, The Tower Nerds - Matt, Coaster Crazy & Stretchy say a temporary goodbye at Detonator
This is Detonator for those who don't know what that is....
With only 1 ride to go before the night activities These 5 prepare their new range of footwear for the ride. But who are they & what are they preparing for?
Well you will see what they will be going on in Part 3 which is going to be released around lunch time (oh not again!) tomorrow. But what is R1C4Y protecting? How do you go about getting a free ORP? Who will start glowing in the dark once the clubbing begins? This next part is a nice transition from Day N Night, so please don't go away singing that club classic from 2007! This is a 90's event!
So the sun has been out and the Ministry of Sound is edging closer forward. Your about to experience what the Ministry of Sound event is like before too much drink comes into play. I think you'll find you just bumped into Part 3 of 5 of the TPM Official Trip Report at the Thorpe Park Ministry of Sound Event. Apologies if this is something you were trying to avoid, but your here now so you might as well join in
Before the evening section, due to the heat, Peaj enjoys cooling off by the Tidal Wave drips
However the day time part of the event comes to a sudden close when EC! keeps getting prodded by this enormous dog.
Moving swiftly forward, during the 'interval' TopsyTurvy15 & Peaj get UV'd up and enjoy braving THE SWARM over a pint
To see how well they glow a trip to X - With it's lovely laser lights - gets them ready for the party spirit
During the night when riding Colossus, we find that no staff man the photo's so here's a sneaky shot of a screaming R1C4Y & Peaj.
11PM came too soon and the ride's start to shut down so off to the dome we go and wow have they transformed the place .
Just look at Stretchy's, Phill Pritchard's, Mr. Fish's & Saskerina's amazement when they first entered the transformed Dome
With people dancing and going off to the toilet, Circles start forming around drinks that need protecting as R1C4Y kindly demonstrates
Making sure the drinks stay protected, Pluk for once has a genuine reason to start a fight over any trespassers that came our way.
As the night progresses, drinks in hand - the TP Maniacs & Tower Nerds start to turn into possessed dancing demons.
And so I bring part 3 to a close, just before the drunken antics and bad dancing are about to begin. But how good are Mr. Fish's dancing skills? Does UV Paint & Sweat make a good combination? What was the starting point for Matt Creek when, before it became too much for him in the morning? As this journey has now finished it's daytime run and has turned to night - It is only fitting that the next two parts to this report is released at night time - So prepare yourselves for the wait and at some point tomorrow evening you will see how us Maniacs like to P.A.R.T.Y!!!!
Jolly Ho - You've arrived back here for Part 4 of 5 of the official Ministry of Sound at Thorpe Park Trip Report. So yes this part became rather delayed by a weekend whilst I braved the medieval world at Warwick Castle and tried out the Summer Nights over a pint - Please accept my apologies. However enough about life we want pictures that show people drunk that's what your really here for at the end of the day ain't ya....So moving swiftly forward!
Coaster Crazy at Tower Nerds welcomes you to the clubbing at Thorpe Park - 90's Style!
Rocket finally enjoys his first legal drink whilst Phill Pritchard really soaks in the atmosphere
With two drinks in hand TopsyTurvy15 is really starting to rave it up whilst Matt from Tower Nerds looks on into the distance
After spilling his drink Matt Creek gives Topsyturvy15 an evil look which in turn makes him glare at Saskerina so he can pass the blame.
So nothing else is spilt - Matt Creek decides to have a good go at drinking his pint
Getting into the spirit, Pluk, Peaj with his face melting away & Topsyturvy15 make the club glow!
Mr. Fish really gets his moves on to start attracting the ladies over to him.
Stretchy goes cross eyed whilst Mr. Fish proves a point that he can dance and hold beer.
In retaliation Pluk shows Mr. Fish how you hold your drink whilst you dance the night away.
As it has become custom in one part to include a panoramic photo, this just seems the perfect opportunity to show off how the dome is transformed
So I leave you with this thought whilst you have all gone to grab yourself a drink as you can just feel the party spirit whilst trawling through this penultimate part. Who towards the end of night shows their true colours and transforms their demonic form into an alien? What antics happen after the partying is over? And how will the official group photo for this trip turn out? All will be revealed after an evening theatre trip tomorrow evening where we will conclude this journey into the partying sensations of the maniacs
Good day to all you fine devilish Maniacs, and it appears you have stumbled across the last part 5 of 5 of the TPM/ TN meet to Thorpe Park's Ministry of Sound. A bit later than I would of liked due to dodgy internet connection within the early hours of the morning, but here you have it - Which I suppose is quite fitting as the end of this Part will be 'The Morning After......' So let's take a look at what happens.
The Ministry of Sound is really starting to show off it's light displays with this rainbow of colours
Matt Creek continues to drink into the night
But soon finds all the drink consumption is too much for him to handle
On this note we exit the ministry, leaving Stretchy who transforms into his true form when he thinks no one is looking.
Arriving at the Travelodge TopsyTurvy15 takes it easy on the sofa after all the partying getting ready for bed
However Pluk is still up and ready to party and opens up another drink.
Plus with the noisy Mr. Fish, Peaj & Saskerina on the bed - The party continues even later into the night
The next part is too rude to be shown on a family friendly website so all I can say is that it involved a Chocolate Orange.
The morning after these last 5 survivors off TPM are back at Thorpe Park, but for once not to go and spend the day there
To finish this off all so nicely Please brace yourself for the rather wet but fantastic OFFICIAL GROUP PHOTO of the trip.
And there we have it - The Ministry of Sound event is over for TPM this year. I for one loved the event and would highly recommend it to people. I was originally thinking with it coming from a Theme Park it would be a bog standard job but I was proved wrong and would be a regular attender if it was a local club near me. The empty queue lines leading up to the event and being able to carry and drink your pint almost everywhere on park made the atmosphere seem so relaxed and enjoyable. My apologies for getting a bit stroppy for an hour or so just before the club, I was just having a tired childish tantrum after the long day at that point - No excuse but need to get it out there! Most of all the group of people we have coming to these events this year are fantastic. None of these would be possible without YOUR involvement so a big Thank You for everyone that makes these meets what they are. So I bid farewell until the next trip report the STEALTH ICE CREAM PHOTOSHOOT, coming to you sooner than you think!
