  1. 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!

    If you could own a ride or make your own ride what would it be and what would you call it?! A fun little game to play which starts a good discussion I'll start I'd buy a Booster Maxx and call it Towering Inferno

    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…

    One for the music lovers! The idea is that one person inserts a line of lyrics to the chorus of a song and the other players have to try and guess which song (and band/singer) it is! However, before the answer can be revealed, at least 3 guesses need to be made and just like in 'Lie to Me', whoever guesses correctly can have their turn! Also, if the name of the song is included in the chorus, then this is censored with asterisks (*****), prior to the number of words in the song name. Right. Without further ado, I shall kick this off with a "fairly" easy one! "The more that you want it, the more that you need it, I know that you’ll be by my side. ** *** **** ** *** **…

    Hello, and welcome to the Thorpe Park Quiz. This should hopefully be a more formal and successful of the Thorpe Park Quiz Matty22 was running a while ago. So, here's the rules:-Each quiz will last one week.-In this time, you have to answer all the questions. Post your answers in Spoiler tags please.-No looking up answers, of course. -Each quiz will have at least 5 questions. There might be more in future Quizzes.-Each question has points. This means more challenging questions will be worth more points and easier ones will be worth less points. Points are in the brackets on the left. Right, here's this week's Quiz:1) Name two elements that were in the original plans…

  15. 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.

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…
