    Will you be owning a Annual Pass for this season? Will your magic never end?Well for me. I'll have one before the season starts. Well actually, I am getting mine on Saturday . (And this will be my first one).What about you?(Also you may discuss everything about Annual Passes here).(Request, can you move the "I already have one" at the top of the poll instead of the bottem, you'll see why).

    Green. tbh =DHeres a fun fact fo you: On packages of Canadian Smarties, a Smarties 'Fun Fact' states that Canadians eat enough Smarties each year to circle the Earth "350 times". However, a grade 6 math class in Thunder Bay, Ontario proved otherwise in December 2005. The math class calculated that the amount of Smarties Canadians eat in a year would circle the Earth only once. Nestl? Canada has promised to amend the packaging.

    Here's how to Play 1. The first poster will ask a question which prompts the next poster to choose one of the two items. 2. Post your choice in bold. 3. Once you have posted your choice, skip a line and post the next question. 4. Let's keep it Christmas related! If you want, you can add a photo of your choice, or add a photo of your options. Be Creative! So here goes: Making Snowmen OR Making Snow Angels?

    Happy 1st birthday Smiler! Let it be obvious from the start that this topic is in no way serious; the aim of the topic is simply to come up with fairly ridiculous ways to 'improve' The Smiler at the Alton Towers Resort; it follows the same rules as the sister thread How would you improve Dark Forest? This topic is 'photoshop' friendly so enjoy the example post: 'I would improve The Smiler with... JoshC.' This is supposed to be a bit of fun. Any useful points that contribute to actual discussion should be directed here in the actual Smiler topic. Edit: Turtle is offering a world beating prize for the best entry!

    After the distressing scenes witnessed in Pizza/Pasta at Thorpe Park over the size of their plates, I got thinking about my ideal food carrier. Would it be circular, square, deep, wide, metal, paper? There are just so many different varieties on offer and this is a place for you to post your ideal buffet plate. It's an absolute disgrace that Thorpe's plates are only small enough for 3 slices of pizza at a time, clearly someone in Merlin has never been to a high class pizza buffet restaurant such as Buzz Lightyear's Pizza Planet at Disneyland. I'll kick it off with a fairly basic plate, but feel free to be a bit more adventurous with your choices. Hopefully Thorpe Park…

    So, as I have a lot of free time on my hands at the moment, I've decided to create a 'Thorpe Park Monopoly' for a bit of fun(Alton Towers have their own version; why not Thorpe?! ). It's a work in progress at the moment, but here's the game board as it stands... As you may notice, the template I found is the American one, so the prices are in dollars, but ah well.. It's lacking text at the moment too, and a few pictures and such, because it's just the 'first version', and it looks really bad because the best editing software I have is Microsoft PowerPoint. The plan I have is to create mock ups for the property, Chance and Community Chest cards as well, pretty mu…

  20. Well that's it, after a month of intense drip-feed voting and shameless promotion, the results of the TPM Park & Forum Awards 2012 are in! Some very interesting developments since last year after the 2012 coaster season saw a massive onslaught of excellent, world-class rides, one of which some may agree sits in our very own home park! Please remember, particularly with the Forum Awards, that this is meant to be a bit of fun. Please don't take them too seriously y'all! RIGHT. Here we go. A bit of a change in that last year I only posted the Top 3 for each category. I'm doing that again this year but for the Park Awards I will be adding the cumulative total of votes e…

    2013 is nearly done, stuff has happened. What were the best bits for you? Feel free to add any categories. Album of the year Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires of the City. I can't still get enough of it, it is beautiful and perfect. Step and Ya Hey being my highlights. Song of the year Daft Punk - Get Lucky. Blurred Lines and Wake Me Up both tried to take over, but Daft Punk will always be the sound of this summer for me. Music Video of the year Blurred Lines What's not to like? Titties Film of the year The Worlds End, great way to finish the trilogy. Also enjoyed Oz the Great and Powerful. TV Show of the year The Wrong Mans. James Cordens comedy drama was a jo…

    A brilliant game for the closed season! Hopefully there are some people out there who've played this! Otherwise, I shall explain below: Basically, the aim of the game is to simply come up with the funniest, dirtiest...or just the most ridiculous sentence! Each player is given a series of white cards, each with a random word or minor scenario. However, one player per round is "card czar", meaning they are in possession of a black card containing a sentence, often with a series of blank spaces. The other players must then put forward one or more white cards. The number of white cards to be submitted depends on how many the black card is demanding. For instance, if the s…

    Every winter, we see the 4 month closure of THORPE PARK and Chessington & Zoo, not to mention many other Merlin attractions. This topic can be for anyone, but especially for the people that visit theme parks a lot of the time.What do you do to replace going to theme parks?Does the closed period go quickly for you? What do you do to speed up the time?These ones are easy for me. As many people have mentioned in other topics, going to theme parks is more of a social thing for me - just somewhere fun to go with friends (although I do LOVE them ). So when the parks are closed, I just find other activities to do with my friends to replace my theme park trips. The closed pe…
