Nonsense

Hi everyone, Every so often in Chat, we will be playing the weakest link. Tonight is a trial run to see how it works and what needs tweaking. All thought on the spot in literally a split second. By entering the chat room you will need to state that you are playing to compete in that week's round. You can bank if you say bank within the first 5 seconds of the question being posted. Each round the time you have to answer the question will be reduced. All questions will be posted in the chat room and will be directed towards a member to answer The person you think is the weakest link you will private chat me who you think should be eliminated for that round you can gu…

Hi all, I've thought of this new game called Movie/Tv star TPM game. The game will work in a similar way to the banning game but instead of a member saying the last one to post is banned for a specific reason will instead post a TV or film character name and/or photo that they believe the above member reminds them of. These could vary from Gandalf in Lord of the Rings to Shrek from, well Shrek. Here goes.

Following on from the success of Sidders TPM Quiz how about another, less themeparky, one? Broadly a pub style music quiz but also taking in film, TV, word play and of course theme parks, it's just for a bit of fun. Questions like: Name the band or artist from the clue (First man sliding down a mountain) Name the song from the intro Name the song playing backwards Name the ride from the soundtrack Name the film from the theme I'm hoping to do it live in chat only, so if you'd be interested please answer the poll and if we get some takers I'll do it in a couple of weeks time, and if it goes well maybe turn it into a once a month sort of thing.

Hi There! Well, lets give all the Admins, Moderators and the weird Meet Organiser a challenge! The game is simple! Members have to write out the numbers 1 to 100 without a Mod Team writing the number 0. Each member can post one number at a time and can't double post! For Example: Member 1: 1 Member 2: 2 Member 3: 3 Moderator: 0 Now the game would restart! Let's give this a go... 1

Thorpe Park Mania, in conjunction with THORPE PARK, are pleased to announce the all-new TPM Quiz 2.0! Its time to join in the coaster-related hoo-ha now that its finally here and prove that you know your B&M from your Intamin, your Merlin from your Tussauds, and your Disney from your Six Flags! But what happened to TPM Quiz 1.0 I hear you ask? Well in short it never happened. An unfortunate combination of being too busy/lazy, early test runs not running smoothly enough to bring to a forum setting (and I sauntered off to Uni for a year, too), meant that the whole thing had to be cancelled at the last minute. But now it's back, bigger and better than Stealth ever, and …

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…

So guys, Legend has it that the Smiler has become a bit of an operational nightmare. Stalling, breaking down at the bottom of lift hills etc etc. The aim of this game is to become the winner and to do that you need to score the most points. Heres the criteria:- 1) Guess correctly if the Smiler was open on a chosen day. 100 points will be awarded for correct guesses. The only rule is is that The Smiler doesn't have to be open all day, it can open for part of a day. Minimum of an hour of opening. If The Smiler is closed all day then the next two criteria are void and no points will be awarded 2) If you can guess the maximum queue time on any particular day at any particu…

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 Dark Forest themed area of the Alton Towers Resort. This topic is 'photoshop' friendly so enjoy the example post: 'I would improve the Dark Forest with... Dragons.' This is supposed to be a bit of fun. Any useful points that contribute to actual discussion should be directed here in the Th13teen topic.

Which do you prefer I love my coffee and can't get enough of the stuff. Tea just doesn't cut it for me.

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…

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?

Here is another rather addictive game! Post 2 true facts about yourself and one lie in any order and the others playing the game have to say which one is a lie! The first person to get it right has to then post 2 facts and one lie and the process repeats again! You can only post after there has been 3 turns between your last go! I shall start: 1) I have thrown up on stealth 2) I am a world record holder 3) I have a pet dog

This game is quite hard. One user has to express a phrase of his/her choice without writing the phrase. Ok, I saw this game on another forum so I thought I'd bring it here. The basic idea of this game is to make phrases using normal characters Ex. stand I = "I understand So here we go _______ | | Thinking | | |______|

As started in chat tonight; simply post a link to a video of a song (can be a random song thats not a chart song) that reminds you of a TPM Member (obviously post who they are) So I'll kick it off. _____ - Mer!

Having noticed that I have been beaten to the post with the Alton Towers Ride Game, which I was thinking of starting a while back this does not appear so original as I was thinking in my head but however now we have the Swarm I am eager to see where it stacks up against all the rest. It's a fun/ annoying game/ poll but it's a way to pass the closed season Each of the rides from Thorpe Park starts off with 5 points each. Every contributor must add a point from one ride and subtract a point from another, for example I can add a point onto Saw: The Ride and subtract a point from Wet Wet Wet. If and when a ride hits a low of 0 points the ride is removed and the game restar…

Having noticed the lack of interest in the fun and games topic in recent years I thought I'd bring back an old favourite game ( )with a new Northern twist. Essentially if you've never got involved before this is your chance as the rules are quite simple in this fun and sometimes totally infuriating game. Each of the rides from Alton Towers Resort starts off with 5 points each. Every contributor must add a point from one ride and subtract a point from another, for example I can add a point onto Charlie & The Chocolate Factory and subtract a point from Nemesis. ( ) If and when a ride hits a low of 0 points the ride is removed and the game restarted with each ride…

Good gravy! Has it been a year already!? Only seems yesterday we saw Alton walk the UK Awards, Katun get voted the Best International Coaster and we had our very own Mr JoshC. crowned the biggest fanboy over Marc. SO. Without further adieu, we will commence with the crownings for the next year of glorious TPMing and Thorpe-whoring/hating. Alas, here comes the boring formality (in a bizzle) Avert ye eyes, fair innocent ones: The Park Awards: (text iz big enuff rite? lol xoxo) The first round 'comprises' of the Park Awards. The park with the most votes in each category wins. Below are the 'selected' categories for 2012: Best UK Park Best(-Looking) International Pa…

My fave is Fanta

Anyone here up for a TPM Fantasy Football league?

Firstly, hello, my name's Connor and I'm new here. I've mainly joined to ask what I'm about to ask, but I'm also a big fan of Thorpe Park in general. Anyway, to the question.... As part of my BTEC diploma in Media we were tasked to create an advertisement, I decided to make one on Thorpe Park. Also as part of the course we need to get feedback from the clients and the audience, you guys. So, basically, I will post a link at the bottom of this post and if possible could you reply to this thread with answers on: 1) What you like? 2) What you dislike? 3) If it makes you want to visit the park (does it work as an advertisement)? 4) Anything else you wish to comment …

The aim of the game is in the name! Create the weird most wacky reason on why the person above you should get banned! Of course its all fun but if you get easy offended stay way away from this topic Lets get banning

Partially as a tribute to the legend who was part of making TPM, and partially due to the large sum of hilarious photos on his Facebook account, a Marc Simpson appreciation thread had been set up to commemorate his existence.Is it the woman in Black?

So love it or hate it, Snow has arrived! Share you lovely white covered back gardens or even pets playing in the snow pictures here! To kick it off, here's a picture of last years major snowfall and clever ways to keep the milk cold

HO HO HO! Because it's that time of year, so why not? So...what are you doing for Christmas this year? Do you have any traditions? What do you hope to get? Or do you just appreciate the food, music and family etc? This year I am going to my dad's (with my brother of course) for Christmas dinner, with his parents, then coming back home to Mum's in the evening. She is having her parents over and they will be there in the evening, so get to see both parents and both sets of grandparents, yay! We're waking up at Mum's though, my dad knows it wouldn't be the same if we didn't! Then on Boxing Day, my mum's parents are coming over again for another Christmas dinner, and me and…

Three weeks ago today I asked you all to vote for your favourite parks, coaster, rides, members, members moderators etc., and now the results are in, with some very interesting results!This year I'll post the nominee who finished 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each category. In categories where less than three nominees appear, there were less than three separate nominees:The Park Awards: Best UK Park:Alton Towers Thorpe Park Chessington Best International Park: ​Europa-Park, Germany Universal's Islands of Adventure, USA Disney's Magic Kingdom, USA Best UK Coaster:Nemesis, Alton Towers Stealth, Thorpe Park AIR, Alton Towers Best International Coaster:Katun, Mirabilandia Bizzaro, Six…
