Nonsense

Welcome to the 83 game The 83 game is a simple and fun game, (also an interesting one). All you have to do is comment on what the number 83 resembles in your life, from your house door number to even the amount of pets you have (very unlucky). Nothing more to be said really, so get thinking how 83 has affected your life!

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

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.

Got any stories about yourself which are particularly spooky? How about paranormal experiences you/friends/relatives have had? It's nearing Halloween and rather then plodding along to a scare attraction we should just scare each other here! (If we can .-. ) I go camping regularly, its just a cheap way of being able to go out with friends that don't necessarily go to college with me every so often. The main stories we tell each other are repeated pretty much annually, and are either: Click Click Slide Inside out Small squares Pins and needles Of course a couple others are thrown in but these ones our are favourites. I got some 12 year old's crying to small squares once…

Fast forward 6 years...Saw's contract is soon to run out and Thorpe are in desperate need of a new theme. Good Luck :unsure:This Challenge is likely to last 2 weeks to give you a bit more time but if the majority of people entering have after a week, it will end after a week

There has been a lot of talk about Bubbleworks and what you'd like done with it, seemed like the perfect topic to start a challenge on, here is the place to put your ideas :)Good Luck everyone Can't wait to see your ideas!

Inspired by James6's great competition of 2010 Welcome, one and all, to the challenge. In this game, you will be tested on your artistic side, and see how people respond to your fantasmical, splendilious ideas! Brief: You have been assigned a new job at merlin parks, who have recently over-ran other theme park buyers, and now own every theme-park in the UK. Your challenge, is to come up with a new theme/design/vibe of a significant rollercoaster, or space. Each challenge (if this one is successful) will give you 5 areas/rides to choose from, where you then either edit photos of the area, and leave a short description, leave a long description with no phot…

For the love of god start a band and make this your debut album cover. Please

Who's your money on? Heard any tips? I'm still not decided...

Another excuse to share a bit of music I love and play a little game. I'll post a selection of videos which are clues to or associated with another track, you guess what that track is by posting a video of the one you think it is. Get it right and have a go yourself. Or I'll do another one if you can't be arsed. Does that make sense? There should only be one track that fits. So... ... go!

Closed Season seems to have dragged on for a bit too long this season (and I have a bit too much spare time on my hands this afternoon), leading to fanboys, enthusiasts and anyone who visits these humble forums in general over-analysing black and white drawings of a square posted by Thorpe. 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...…

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…

I couldn't find a topic anywhere for this surprisingly, so I decided to make one. The Simpsons is a long established cartoon television show that's been around now for over 25 years and in its time has been very popular. However today, one of the show's long running voice actors Harry Shearer has apparently decided to quit the show, following some disputes including wanting to do other work. Some of you may not know who he is, but has voiced a big chunk of some of the show's primary & secondary characters including Mr a Burns, Smithers, Principle Skinner, Kent Brockman, Ned Flanders & Reverend love joy.

Okay, so in the absence of previous years' forum compère, Holly, I've taken over hosting the TPM Annual Awards for 2011. The proceedings will be similar to last year, and after having spoken to a number of forum members about potential changes in order to make the awards both more enjoyable and more efficient, there's a few changes here and there.The Park AwardsFirst round comprises of the Park Awards. The Park with the most votes in each category wins. Below are the selected categories: Best UK Park Best International Park Best UK Coaster Best International Coaster Most Reliable UK Ride/Coaster Most Uncomfortable Ride* Best Inversion** Best-Landscaped Park* Cleanest Par…

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…

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…

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…

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 …
