But lo! A saviour has cometh! Meet Tucker: Tucker is here to save our closed season, and reveal the new thing for 2015. But what is it? Tucker likes to pull funny faces, so people won't ask what this NEW FOR 2015 thing is: He gets particularly pouty when people keep bugging him about it: So he escapes to Alton Towers occasionally, and gets corrected...…

In case you've missed it, Thorpe Park have released a string of high quality "memes" over this past winter. But can you tell the difference between a Thorpe Park meme and an ironically created mock meme? Let's find out... 1) 2) 3) 4) So which ones are genuine, Thorpe Park memes, and which ones aren't?

Does anyone have any tips for beating boredom in the queueline? A group of us made an in-queue game for 2 or more players: One person in your group thinks of and states the name of a ride/attraction beginning with A. The next person repeats the first person's answer, adding their own answer for a ride/attraction beginning with B. The next person repeats the first two rides/attractions said by the first two people and gives an answer beginning with C and so on. It's even more fun if you think of a ride with the longest name possible! Haven't really figured out what happens if someone can't think of one of the answers/takes too long/gives a wrong an…

Good gravy! Has it been a year already!?

Right well, The Challenges are back after a 2 week break :PAs is quite clearly said above, please don't vote in the poll.

"To enter a picture you've taken of the worst/ most unusual weather you've experienced on a day out"Good Luck, Voting will open at the same time as before the break.
