I'm definitely going FYI ?

Thankfully the 16/17 team had no involvement in Walking Dead related mazes :). Platform 15 was tosh in 16, but that just rings to money related issues

Ok... I am not usually the optimistic type... however today is turning out to be a great day! Is there not any chance guys that Thorpe just want to get LIL out of the way before they start construction? Last day is September 1st.. they crack on with setting up the next event after that w&nk is finally over and done with; opposed to trying to organise two events at the same time? Think of the resource costs! Also, isn't there more closed dates this September compared to last year.. meaning they can work around the clock to turn this all around in time? Again, only a suggestion.. let the rampage commence

Loving the contrast between the rotting zombie face and the Peanuts characters there.

Will be there!

Another meet!! I couldn’t possibly turn it down Looking forward to it and seeing all again!

Guys, the tent is up. Quite a compact size this year but Big Top now confirmed. ?

With two of you new to the group it is a perfect opportunity. If its any help I actually only joined the group at the start of the 2017 season due to being too nervous to go on previous visits! Within 5 mins I was fine and enjoying myself. Now I'm running trips! It's madness. I've made some great friends who all share similar interests.

Nor have I, this will be my first! So you aren’t alone there don’t worry. I’m sure within 5 minutes we’ll wonder why we were even nervous in the first place

I’ve never been to a meet and I know it’ll be fine once I’m there, but meeting a big group of people who all already know each other is very daunting... I’m not very good in social situations but I want to come badly so I’ll try my best to come. Just put me down as a maybe for now.

This makes sense, I’m hoping it isn’t just your optimism though and it’s actually what the park are doing ?

I'm there that day anyway so will probably join you all!!

Nah, a pigeon that was killed by a tree - get it right??

It felt like nothing more than a censored advert for Towers backed with screen time of enthusiasts. Probably the strangest part was where one of the staff was saying the Wickerman launch night was going to be a disaster. Then after the break there was no mention of it again and the whole incident was unexplained and forgotten about. There were no insights or honest interviews with ride hosts. It would have been nice to see more construction milestones. Also more insights into the artwork, design and IMA Score soundtrack. Overall it was very bare of an actual behind the scenes in favour of excessive screen time for enthusiasts who were more likely to have nothing but praise for Towers. I wanted to hear from more of the day to day staff and engineers from a first hand experience working there. I want Towers to embrace the criticism and explain exactly HOW they are going to improve. WHY are they closing outlets and staggering ride openings? - That’s the kind of documentary I was hoping for.

Love the Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack 2. One of my favourite soundtracks is Donkey Kong Country 2, in particular Stickerbrush Symphony. Also love the music from Legend of Zelda and Banjo Kazooie series. Guess I'm a bit of a Nintendo fan
