Being a huge Harry Potter fan I've been looking forward to this since I heard about it...and seeing the pictures is making me even more excited! :)They show some of it and discuss what's going to be there on the Half Blood Prince DVD extras too, Hogsmeade looks amazing!! The only trouble is when do I actually get to go? Money Assuming a holiday to Orlando isn't cheap...But I WILL go some day so I can still look forward to it

Love the video!!

Congratulations to Mikey, Ricky and Keith!

Haha you're the first person that noticed that I should've just been brave and said it out loud, just to hear Big Brother's reaction Can you imagine it..."No, Big Brother does not require you to be ready for the raging Vortex.":PI wanna do this trip again!!

This is how you'll make it through...

Awesome day, I agree it was definitely one of the best TPM meetups!Highlights:Riding a giant turtle And the second one having to be edited as the background was visible at the front of the turtle...meaning the staff member had to zoom in to where I was...with my random face and random socks :PThe random film about sharks that no one cared about (well in a nice way)...and the random guy speaking on the PA =|Trying to "race" some of the others on the tube but ending up getting random trains and not really getting anywhere...then going straight from Bank to Waterloo lol.Big Brother diary room when the first group mentioned TPM and it replied "Big Brother is aware of Thorpe park Mania...Big Brother is not a member." Shoe-throwing and abuse with our group haha...Big Brother comparing itself to a Dalek...me saying "Einstein has cool hair" and BB replying "Yes, Einstein is indeed cool". And last but not least "Yes, Big Brother does enjoy the baubles!" OH and me swearing on our one when the music started!Trying to find Nando's and finding something else called Amanos or something...can't remember what it was called!"Keep walking, we will find a Tesco eventually" :)Two funny events involving lifts: the first one being at Sealife when we didn't achieve anything by using the lift and ended up on the same floor!Second time was legendary: at Madame Tussauds where the lift doors wouldn't shut and Marc called out "Can you push our button?" to the lady! :PWow I seem to have used the word "random" a lot! Too tired to think of other words to use right now!

Should anyone read this...I'm getting a later train as I'm running late :)However I should be there on time still...but probably bang on 10. Or maybe a few minutes late. So don't go without me

NO NO NO.Rob went on that Booster at Leicester Square the other night and he said it was absolute rubbish :)Sooo it might not be worth it...might have just been bad luck...but thought I'd worn you :PEDIT: Leicester Square is kinda in the middle of all the places we'll be. As shown in this map I just edited:

I'M A YES NOW! :)All thanks to Facebook! I mentioned that I may be going on my status...and in return was directed by a friend to Southernrailway.com where I could get my train ticket for half price! Woop!It's probably raining tomorrow as well incase anyone wants to know Not that we couldn't have predicted that!I'll be at Waterloo at about 9:45. I'm guessing we're meeting somewhere near the entrance? I know the station quite well but I'm confusing parts of it with Victoria and for some reason thinking there are two entrances

Ok change of plan I may come on Saturday :PI may be slightly "richer" lol.Not sure about Winter Wonderland yet in terms of paying for rides etc but I'll come along and watch and take photos and blah blah :PAlso please note:"Winter Wonderland offers thrills for all ages and temperaments. Tokens for the rides & attractions are bought on the day at the booths dotted around the event and start at just £2 and there is no charge at all to visit Santa." woo!The rides list for the O2 is random...Vintage Dodgems, Vintage Octopus...Vintage Dive Bomber! Dunno but it made me laugh! :PSo yeah for now I'm a maybe but hopefully I'll be a yes!

I totally forgot about this! =\If I'd remembered I could've delayed paying my mobile bill til next week when I get more money :)But yeah that didn't happen so now I have under £10 so I could actually afford one day (Saturday)which would be the travel costs, but then I'd have no money for food or anything else...so realistically, I can't make it.:PThis sucks...I haven't seen anyone since the last day of the season!

This whole thing with Gary Mckinnon being extradited is getting a joke now. Why is it so hard for them to realise that:1) He didn't fully understand what he was doing and was only doing it to find information, not to deliberately hack into it/cause trouble, and2) No matter how much they're going to make sure they "meet his needs" they're not going to achieve that because he has Asperger's. They cannot cope with change, they have to do things a certain way, have routines etc...you can't just send them to another country and expect them to adapt and cope!!I can't actually explain on here how annoyed I am because I'm THAT annoyed!! I fear people won't understand my point :)But I think it's just sick and an absolute disgrace...as my brother described it, "Could there be a more inhumane and compassionless decision ever made?"GRR.

WHERE ARE ALL MY POSTS GOING?! Seriously everytime I post in the "SAW attraction 2010" or whatever it's called thread (in Thorpe Park section) my post then disappears! Fair enough the first one went off-topic (but then again why is there still other off-topic posts around, why me getting theirs deleted and no one else, if thats what happened?) and the second one asked where that post went so fine...but I could have had an answer :)And the third post which was a few days ago, that was on topic and commenting on someone else's post so fine as far as I'm aware but NO it's disappeared! So please someone explain what the hell is going on.

I noticed that too! meeeh

Don't worry, I'm the same :lol:I'm straight and have always got on better with guys, I fit in easier and they seem to accept me more than girls do. Probably cos girls tend to be more judgemental and bitchy I'm not saying I hate girls or have never had female friends. But the majority of my friends are and have been guys.Cos in a lot of ways I'm different from other people my age and was a tomboy when I was younger, didn't care about make-up and all that til I was about 16. Found it far more fun and interesting to play games and be stupid!

Well I was also at the John Lewis event and I thought what they had on SAW worked well actually. Two girls had to have a member of staff with them as they went through the queueline as they were so scared by the actors! Then they turned around and didn't even go on!Also the ride was walk-on, so there's only so much they can do when there's an empty queueline :PPlus the John Lewis event wasn't specifically a preview of Fright Nights (unlike the Merlin staff preview/social/whatever it was lol), but seeing as most of the theming, mazes etc were in place, we had the opportunity to experience them. I thought the pig-masked actors were very creepy, especially when they follow you while you walk and breathe down your neck!They don't like their pictures being taken though!There's always Monks Walk to go down at night if Fright Nights doesn't scare you enough!

I was lucky enough to attend the private event last night (John Lewis hired the park out last night and tonight) with Rob and Marc. It wasn't really a preview of Fright Nights (and wasn't meant to be, was just meant to be a private event but it happens to be nearly Fright Nights lol) but obviously lots of the theming is complete/almost complete...won't spoil anything (I think it will be better being surprised too!) but it's looking pretty dam awesome so far! :DAlthough the mazes were open for us!Nemesis Inferno OMG!And the actors in the SAW queueline...well let's just say I like the masks they wear, very effective! Although if you haven't seen the films it won't make any sense. But they look brilliant, there was quite a lot of them and they all did great jobs, hope they remain that way throughout Fright Nights!Mazes were as good as usual, some have been improved with great results (and reactions lol)! :DOh and just an off-topic piece of info (but handy!)...if, like we did last night, you're ever in the area and decide to drink, need to buy alcohol but it's like 1am and a Saturday (so pretty much nowhere to get alcohol from)...go to the Total petrol station in Heathrow, down the road from the Thistle hotel (which I pretty close to T5). 24hr licence! Random I know! but you never know when you need random information like that, especially if you're as random as we were last night! *cough*:PAnyway, back on topic!

To ensure Marc doesn't edit any pictures I post in the future, here is a bad picture of myself to make things even:There

Very good picture indeed!

I am not in that video But Marc has one on his camera that Rob did and it shows us coming back to offload!Awesome day, and it was cool that we actually stayed together as a whole group (usually we split up into small groups eventually).Air hockey in the arcade was entertaining to watch :PEven though we only got 6 rides done (and that includes Stealth ERT!) it was still good!But yeah as I said, it was still a good day and was good seeing people again and meeting lots of new people Even though there were quite a few people who's names I actually didn't know! The ERT went really well and was good fun! And good ol' Alfonso and Harold! :DAnd Marc had fun when he discovered his camera has hi-speed burst mode!I have some entertaining photos too....*cough*plum*cough*Put the group photos up now please! :DEDIT: "That's what she said"....

Thanks :)The only thing is, some of the medical issues started way before I had all this stress. Hmm Another rant on a different subject:How do people send texts to the wrong number?? Am I the only person that just selects a friend from the contacts list?! I mean seriously, who actually manually types in the phone number when you could make it so much easier for yourself and not risk getting it wrong!I got this text from a number I don't know in August, and I asked who it was and they said they were using their mum's phone. I can't think if I replied or not, don't think I did. Looking back I should have done, and should have said "Yes but I still don't know you, think you've got the wrong number!" Oh well.And today I've checked my phone and seen I have a missed call from that number!Not a major issue I know, but it's a little annoying when it keeps happening!I'll just block the number :DThe funny thing is, when I got the text from them they said "It's me Faisal, using my mum's phone." Well I knew someone with that name who worked at Thorpe during FN last year! But they don't have my number. So doesn't really explain much, probably just some random person.
