Your Planned Trips and Reports

So , if you have been to Thorpe Park lately , write a long or short report on how you day was. Maybe have some good/bad points and even a ride count from your day!

Please post all Chessington trip reports here ....I will start of with my small report for today...Arrived at the park for opening and got first ride on Billy's whizzer where I manged to get off bone dry.. then went over to Tomb for second ride of the day... Was now getting hungry so went over to McDonalds where I got a flat coke (took it back and got new one) then went back over to Tomb where the ride broke down and resulted in me being evacuated , the whole evactuation procedure was not carried out well at all by staff and after a trip to guest services I managed to get hold of another 2 exit passes... Great Day!

Well we've got one for Thorpe and Chessie so why not Alton? indeed. So here we go, tell us about your trip; rides, food, hotel, event? go nuts.

Post here to arrange all trips to Thorpe Park, including various questions you may have about the proposed day etc!ThanksMarc

Me, right. cousin, left.My cousin looks like death is in his path. everytime I look at it I laugh.

I've noticed there are no official meets planned for our award winning, "theme park of the year", Chessington.Basically, please post any time period in which you would be interested in attending. If we can get enough interest then it would be a fantastic alternative to the Thorpe meets for some variety.I was thinking of during the Easter break. Yes it'll be busy but I imagine the majority of people will have more chance of attending during this time.Post your views below. I've decided not to make this into a poll, but one could be posted after a general time frame is decided and if there is demand for it. Edit: Trip Date: Monday 11th April. Full details to be announced so…

Hey all, I am proposing a Disney Trip for next year as the legend that is Matt Creek has always wanted to go! This will be around late June/ early July time I was thinking before the park gets to busy with school holidays but also will be past exam season! As some of you are aware I go to the world of Disneyland Paris a fair bit (maybe a bit too much but hey) and I thought this particular trip will be good to go with my friends from this community! Currently I will be driving and whoever decides to go I will arrange with you the finer details and usually on my Disney trips I ensure that I find a cheap but comfortable way to enjoy my weekend! Also another thing me an…

Post here if you are planning to visit Chessington & Zoo or have a question for your visit on a particular day.Etc.

So as the new year is getting along I'm sure many of TPM are looking at their calenders and budgets, so where are you going this year? Perhaps a jaunt to the well visited Florida and Orlando, or expanding the horizons in Europe... Or maybe even going to a non-Merlin park in the UK (the HORROR)... So my plans so far for the year are: - DLP in March - Denmark in June (Farup Sommerland, Djurs Sommerland, Legoland, Bon-Bon Land, Bakken and Tivoli) - New York in August (Coney Island) And potentially more, but these are the definites (2 are indeed already booked)... What about the rest of TPM?

Afternoon all, I didn't want to clog up Nicky's Florida trip report topic so here's mine! For our second anniversary Chris and I went off to Walt Disney World Florida for ten nights in what has ended up to be the hottest May in Florida since 1916. The parks were busy, the rides packed out, you'd be lucky to get near the parades and yet it was the best ten days off my life. To try something different I'm doing my trip report in the wrong order. So here we go..I'm going to start with Animal Kingdom which we spent two of our days at, the reason for this will become apparent as you read. Animal kingdom is the park I'd heard the least about and for me was the park I was least …

Myself and Mrs pluk found ourselves with a free week and a desire to do something, so with basically no planning it was decided Paris would be graced with our presence, taking in both Disney and Asterix. I hadn't really known where to start with doing this without leaving myself stranded someplace where no one understood me, so I'll include here a few bits I think others might find useful if doing something similar. I'd never driven on the 'wrong' side of the road before but we decided we wanted the freedom of a car and besides, how hard can it be?! So after an early Saturday morning drive down to Dover we found ourselves floating towards the other side... We sailed …

Had a quick look and couldn't see anything like this, basically just tell us where your planning on going :)Next week I have a great week planned as I'm going to Chessington, Thorpe and Alton Towers :PAren't Merlin lucky :DYour turn...

Simple thread really - what theme parks are you thinking of visiting in 2015? What trips have you got planned, are in the middle of planning or still umming and ahhing over? --- For me, this year should be very exciting. -Merlin-wise, I'll of course be making the most of Thorpe still, fitting in as many trips as possible. I'll also aim to go up to Towers a couple of times too. Legoland and Chessington are unlikely though; Legoland just doesn't have enough to entice me unless I know enough people already planning on going, and well, Chessington just upsets me these days... -UK-wise, I hope to return to Drayton to see the Thomas Land extension and to go…

SInce my little trip at Thorpe went so well I have decided to create another trip but this will happen some time in late august as it will involve at least 1 overnight stay but will mean, you get to come to Oakwood and see its new Themed area Neverland and also have a day out in Cardiff. Obviously this is a overnight trip so I wouldn't advise anyone under 15 to go. but this will be a great trip, we might even be able to visit the world famous Barry Island Beach and amusement park. Obviously it will be a tad more expensive then other day meets, and it does need planning so that's why I'm creating this now The confirmed dates are: August 31-september 1 plus it will be a…

The eventful year of 2016 is soon to come to an end. 2016 was a monumental year for me, riding the world's tallest roller coaster, going to America twice, 10 visits to Thorpe Park (that's probably tiny compared to most people). But now we should take a look at 2017, even though it isn't going to be the best year for coasters that doesn't mean it won't be a good year to visit theme parks. So on this topic, feel free to mention any theme park visits for 2017 (even you're not sure it's going to happen, put it anyway. We're all interested, even if it doesn't happen). I'll say my lineup (it's not in order): Many Thorpe Park trips. …

For my 21st birthday, me and my Dad went to Florida for 12 nights just before Easter. We went on a package deal with Virgin (less hassle).Day 1 - 7th AprilFlew out from Manchester on a brand new plane. Shame it was 2 hours delayed because of technical difficulties. That was all we get told. "This flight will now leave at 1pm because of technical difficulties." Then we got listen to them announce the boarding from the flight to Las Vegas instead. So instead I abused the free 30 min wifi at the departure gateI've flown with Virgin before but this was a much more modern plane with nifty new cup holders so you didn't have to use the whole tableI watched Morning Glory and King…

Leaving one of the biggest theme park capitals of the world is a very hard thing to do. Both Chris and I left Florida last year with a large amount of sadness, the thought of how long will it be until you go back. Well, Chris felt we needed another go and so forth a trip for 2012 was planned. With all the experience you gain, your trip is bound to be better planned. And there we were, off on the 30th September. 30th September 2012 - Flight Day. Despite the disasters of the Uk train system, we arrived at Gatwick with time to spare. We went to see our carriage, a nice refurbished 747 with touch screen entertainment system, yay. Long flights do bore me slightly,…

Basically guys, I'm going to Thorpe Park on wednesday (13th April 2011) and my mates have ditched me at the last minute. I have a merlin pass and I will be going, but how would you recomend I spend my day at 'The Nations Thirll Captial'?

This past weekend I went to Paris to go to Parc Asterix, as the title so states...Anyways, late Friday night (10), me, peep and another person got on a coach from Victoria, and started out 7/8 hour journey towards Paris via the tunnel...We got there, and proceeded to get to the Louvre, where breakfast occurred, in typical fashion of trying out the local cuisine, I suggested McDonalds, but was horriffied to discover that the French don't believe in Sausage and Egg McMuffins, and have Bacon and Egg ones instead... Depressed times :unsure:After that, we attempted to find the coach that would take us to the park... Hidden down in the basement of the Louvre itself... Confusing…

As is well known, Italy has seen a whack of investment in it's theme parks of late. Gardaland saw the first of what is turning out to be a very successful product for B&M and a new theme park opened up near Rome. Being the canny git that I am, decision was made to visit Italy with the intention of seeing what the country has to offer. Benin, Peep and a theme park worker who I won't name ( ) all set off last Friday with this in mind. Trip itenary belowDay 1 - Fly to Rome, Hire car and see the sightsDay 2 - Rainbow MagiclandDay 3 - Drive to RevennaDay 4 - MiribilandiaDay 5 - Miribiliandia in the morning, drive to VeronaDay 6 - Verona rest dayDay 7 - GardalandDay 8 - D…

Beginning of a new year, which means a whole new season of theme parks is just round the corner! So, what theme parks are you thinking of visiting in 2016? What trips have you got planned, are in the middle of planning or still umming and ahhing over? Discuss away (and prepared to feel envious over whatever Benin has got planned for the next 12 months...)

So, on Saturday 8th September I, finally, went to the Nation’s Thrill Capital, Thorpe Park! Because I've been looking forward for so long and want to talk about a lot of things I'm going to do this trip report in five parts, so please bear with… An early morning start... After traveling across the country; after waiting so long to get finally to Thorpe Park, seeing the UK's fastest, tallest, and scariest rides took my breath away within seconds. From that point on I knew today was going to be amazing. The entrance area to Thorpe is admittedly quite small and having to nearly jump over people in a squabble to get in wasn't pleasant. I can see how people say it’s very t…
