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…

Just wondering if anyone off TPM will be attending the evening?For those of you that don't know, it's a rescheduled event from the original Th13teen preview weekend. The evening includes:-Presentation and talk with the great John Wardley-Behind the scenes tour of Th13teen (Hopefully Rita/Hex aswell )-Free exclusive merchandise-Free evening buffet meal

Me and my gf are planning to go Alton in October, is 3 days in the park to much?? also what hotels do people say at??Steve

(Long Trip report)It's trips like this which make you see how pitiful the effort is in the UK. Yes, Wild Asia for British standards is pretty good and Alton Towers even bothering to do a single 30th birthday event is pretty commendable. But all of it falls down when Europa do this on a daily basis. I haven't been to Europa Park since 2006 and back then I was far more into rides then the experience. I've been known to say Europa doesn't have a signature ride, what it has is loads of really solid rides that come together to create a complete day out. Well now, in Blue fire they have a ride that is an icon ride, it is single handedly more enjoyable then any B&M or Intami…

(First off I would like to apologise in case this is in the wrong section of the forums)On July 1st, my family and I are making the trip across the pond to Orlando, Florida.The parks that we are going to are:Disney's Magic Kingdom,EPCOT,Disney's Hollywood Studios,Disney's Animal Kingdom,Typhoon Lagoon,Blizzard Beach,Disney Quest,Universal Studios,Islands Of Adventure,Sea World,Aquatica,Busch Gardens.I just wanted to know if anyone had any good tips that I could follow, or anything to do with the parks that can help. I'm new to Aquatica and never really been around Sea World all to often. Plus, there is one of us in the party of 5 that has never been before (My brother's g…

London Dungeons are having an Annual Pass event on Thursday, 11th February.http://www.merlinannualpass.co.uk/events/dungeons_queen_mary_evening.aspAnyone interested?The plan would then be to got to Alton on the Saturday.

Thought I'd start a topic regarding this, clearly there are a lot of us who are interested. For people that can, and want to go then we all need to get booked quickly.So basically, on the booking page, if you share a room with 4 people, it works out as £147.60 for the 2 nights with the AP discount.Sounds a lot, but remember that includes, free breakfast and evening meals for the two nights, unlimited access to Extraordinary Golf and the water park. Plus activities include, behind the scenes of Rita, Hex, and Thirteen. With talks from the Marketing director at Alton Towers, John Wardley and much more.Dates are Friday 13th March and Saturday 14th March.More info HERESo basi…

Yeah, you read it right, get your 2010 Ride Guide League off to a flyer with a 3 park visit!Cost should be around £300 total, including entry, accomodation, transport and food!AeRoMoBiLe (4 places)PeterSamJohn (peep)PossibleJackPost in topic to confirm or to put your name on the possible list. If you have a car, then we can start a second batch of 4

I thought it might be nice to make a thread especially made for sharingtips for fright nights at Thope Park, as we all know how busy it gets!Heres mine: Arrive at the park at 10 O'clock. Go straight to the rollercoasters and get a few rides in: Most people wont arrive until 12 so it is worth making the most of the 'quiet period'. When it gets to 12, most people have now arrived so have your lunch, and ride a few wet rides and silly rides (like the teacups) just for a laugh with your mates. At 3:15, choose a maze and get in the queue for it. By the time you're out the maze, it will be dark, and the queues for rollercoasters will be well worth it as in the dark they offer…

Long time no see, people!Me, my dad, my uncle, my mum and my nan will most likely be going to Thorpe Park on the 24th and I was wondering if anyone else will be there? Maybe arrange a small meet up perhaps? I don't know how to end this post so I'm just gunna end on a joke.What do you call a dinosaur with no eyes? A.

Remember this?... Well, on Saturday the 26th of September 2009, The Ride-Guide are re-attempting the infamous challenge at Pleasure Island. This year will see the challenge go national with a host of other websites and forums invited to take part. How many times can you handle riding the Huss Frisbee, 'Pendulus' ride at Pleasure Island consecutively before you give up... or throw up!Places on this challenge may be limited and therefore a lottery style draw out may be used to pick candidates for the challenge...So, are you interested? If so, get your name down in this topic and let the preparations begin.Further details will be given in due course but if you have any quest…

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...

Hello Edit: you people are so lucky, this webpage started not responding and I thought I had lost this trip report which I wouldn't have been bothered to write out again. :DI have recently got back from Spain and have decided to post a trip report on the fantastic Terra Mitica.The whole place looks stunning and every building is themed superbly, and when you enter it really does feel like you've entered another world.I don't understand how a park struggling for attendance can be themed and maintained so well, and yet a park like Thorpe Park, over-attended, has no theming in comparison and is poorly maintained.I was there from about 4.30PM till 10 and got on quite a bit, e…
