    Well thats gone quick hasn't it! The weather sucks, its dark already and the parks are closed.. that can only mean one thing... its time for the 2013 Thorpe Park Mania awards... and after getting accused of doing nothing round here I thought its time I better do something! After the success of last years we will keep much the same format for this years Awards, we are also working on a fancy new system which will make sure people can treasure their awards for ever in their profiles, for the member awards we will also give you some nice certificates! So here we go! The Park Awards: The first round 'comprises' of the Park Awards. The park with the most votes in each ca…

    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…

    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 | | |______|

  5. RestrIctIon Welcome to Restriction, a tricky yet fun forum game. The object of the game is to create normal everyday sentence (or in this case, theme park chatter) with certain restrictions on certain letters. This means, every member has limitations of what they can type using the letters they have available. Their will be 3 rounds, each round has a different restriction to cause different problems for each user making it more unique. Also, their is a variety of ways you can win each round and only one winner will be announced at the end of each round. Then shortly after, the new restriction will be announced How to win The game wil…

  6. 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!

  8. 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.

    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 …

    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

  12. 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…

    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…

    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…

    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?

  20. 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 …

    It made a return last year, and was as fun (and controversial!) as I remembered it, so why not do it again this year? For those who don't know the rules, they're quite simple:Each Thorpe Park ride starts of with 5 points, and each poster will take a point from one ride and add it to another. When a ride hits 0 points that ride is eliminated and points all get reset to 5 again. The game carries on until one ride is left standing. Only other rule is you must wait 3 turns before you can vote again.I'll start!Canada Creek Railway (5)Chief Ranger's Carousel (5)Colossus (5)Depth Charge (5)Detonator (5)Flying Fish (5)Loggers Leap (5)Mr Monkey's Banana Ride (5)Nemesis Inferno (…
