Right the online tickets for the waterpark have sold out but you can still book by phone. They only have under 100 tickets left though so you need to be quick and there are nearly 20 of us going! The number to call is 0871 222 3330. Lines are open 9 until 5, make sure you book it in the morning. Any problems to do this by then - please contact me

Anyone yet bought their waterpark tickets as online they are now sold out on Saturday!

Yes there is - ill double check who it is this evening and PM ya

If you do not get a place on the tour all members are still welcome to attend this is literally a half hour break in the day of a 12 hour meet. It's a guarentee that 1 or 2 people will not show up last moment so by being there even as a reserve you may still get to do it There is a link at the the original post that explains how people get picked. Due to suggestions made by yourselves (the forum) at the beginning of the year when places were going to non active or non members who we never saw again, a system has been put in place. In summary your place is a mixture of first come first served, contribution to the forum, active immersive posts and attendance at meets. Any questions or queries further to this feel free to contact me via email or PM at the moment so you don't get charged turkish rates and by any method from Wednesday onwards and I will be more than happy to answer any questions or concerns

The traditional annual Fright Night Meet is upon us. Always one of the most popular events of the year! It is also with the greatest pleasure that I can announce this FANTASTIC opportunity we have been given. It is something that none of you will want to miss! Thorpe Park are holding a behind the scenes tour for us on the new Bloody Valentine Maze! Date Saturday 19th October 2013 Time 1:30pm (Please be there on time) Number of places 20 Where - Outside the Arena Entrance This event I know quite a fair few people have been hoping would happen and THORPE PARK have listened! This event should provide many laughs like many of the meets that have already happened this year. Please can I also point out that general pleasant behavior will be expected at all times! To reiterate you will get the opportunity to go behind the scenes of the Bloody Valentine Scare Maze. Please note cameras will not be permitted on the tour and breaking this rule could spoil future exclusives from the park. Please PM me immediately If you wish to attend as there are a limited amount of places - If you want to come! Contributing members and those who contact me first will be given priority - for details on how people are chosen for an event please look at this topic http://forum.maniahu...rom-a-tpm-trip/. Deadline to book your place is on Thursday 26th September 2013 @ 23:59 If you are coming to spend the day at THORPE PARK there will be some additional meeting points for you all to come and join us. Outside the park entrance before opening at 9:45am, by the stealth rocks at 5pm. We will not wait if you are late! If you are unable to attend these meeting points and will still like to meet up beforehand you will all have a contact number so you can arrange to meet us in park. I think I can speak for everyone that this is just a BRILLIANT thing for THORPE PARK to give us the time to organise this event, and would also like to express my Thanks at this point. If you have a tour placement and then cannot come please PM me straight away about this so your place can be offered to someone else. The demand for this type of trip is extremely high! If you don't get a place on the tour you are still more than welcome to come to the meet. Who knows you may be lucky and people drop out on the day. I will be handing out my phone number for everyone who is attending the meet that day, should there be any problems. We aim to stay together as a group for the day, going from one activity to the next, enjoying getting to know people you share very similar interests with, the idea is to just go with the flow and enjoy the day with some awesome people. There will be many photo’s in the day being taken and the possibility of a few video clips. Whilst we cannot force you to stay with the group, it is the general purpose of these meets! You will have my number (and some of the senior teams) if you become split so by all means use it. The meets are a fantastic laugh and everyone is invited, even if you have never posted before or been to any kind of meet at all. If it's your first meet, I understand it can be nerve breaking - but we were all there at one point so know how it feels, please don't let this stop you from attending - Once there you'll be part of the group in no time! Just look at the past trips this year! Please note attendee names will be posted on Friday 27th September Attending Tour (23 + 3 Things) Chris89 Cornflakes EC!

MarkC by all means if you want to organise a chat I actively encourage it. The cycles of coaster Jamie's chat the other night and now you getting one set up its good to see you guys being pro-active A big thumbs up and thank you

For everyone's attention. I will be in Turkey for the next 2 weeks - even though I will still be able to be contacted once in a while, it does mean that my response time getting back to you will be a lot slower. Any questions about trips and anything to do with the alton towers trip, still feel free to contact me - just bear in mind I won't be able to help you straight away/ update names of who is going/ not going. Thank You

Maybe some harsh words but my perserverance is starting to work - 8 people before 5PM - wow!

Welcome back to the boards Jamie - Am looking forward to seeing you around the forums again

number 2 is true as Inferno was the ride that got you into roller coasters - Big Time! Number 1 if I remember correctly you said you haven't been on the original bubbleworks and actually asked me what it was like. So by the rules of elimination the lie is Chessington was your first ever theme park (Was this actually Oakwood - once again trying to remember convos )

I have been going into chat lately and staying in there waiting for people to arrive and a handful come and say hi. However it is nowhere near busy to continue the chat for a long period so this suggestion I agree with for an organised time. So keeping this in mind and please be aware the time will change and day will most likely change each week. The first 'organised' chat will be this Tuesday at 8pm an the topics will be Speculation Of Thorpe Park new attraction 2014 and a secondary topic about holidays See ya there

Please sing along with me. 'Now, the time is near, and we must face, the final curtain.' . Yes you have guessed in this is the finale for the Stealth Ice Cream Photo Shoot is here and it also means due to the space in the meets there is no more to follow for a while! But back on track to the final part of our story with the maniacs. J.S217, Mer & Peaj are awestruck at what they see before them Before spinning off into a vortex of confusion wondering what Iannem & Smidget were doing with their mouths. It was sadly the end of the Thorpe Park day and everyone gives a loving hug to Josh_C as he won't be going to the meal. For tonight's meal we were going to have a Mr. Whippy ....until we found out the shockingly high prices! This makes Scarycoasterboy Sad So we head off to Frankie & Bennie's where Peaj once again gets really protective over his food and condiments However none of the food that was eaten that night could be beaten by Mr. Fish's pizza! hmmmmmm piiiizzzaaaaaa Yeah I see you drooling! The evening ends with every full and relaxed ready for the journey home. The Maniacs are all happy campers You've seen some picturess circulating since the event but please behold the official group photo for the trip. Just stunning This event was completely awesome if I don't say myself and I would rate it as one of the better one's of the year and for such a massive group that we had all day everyone was co-operative, relaxed and chilled and was an absolute pleasure to be with you all. Was a great end to a run of close succession of meets. So sorry on the massive delay on this whole blog compared to when the trip happened just had a massive writer's block So now we can now look forward to the next meet at Alton Towers: Maniacs Head North. Our first official overnight stay, it's success will determine how adventurous we will be with long distance trips next year. Let the magic happen, as without you there is no such thing as Meets! Ciao!

A Whole week has passed since the last instalment. This is a criminal offence and the person who writes these reports should be shot for their crimes! However this week break now makes it seem like a TV episode where you have to wait a whole week to find out what happens next (Don't worry the finale is tomorrow ) So yes back to the Maniacs - we last saw them with Han30 getting friendly with a snowman in the sun... We come back to this story with James & Co stamping on top of poor Mer I am told it's because Mer painted her nails the wrong colour... All the maniacs then regroup after their lunch break and there is no better choice than Mr Monkey's Banana Boat Ride after dinner Conversations break out about how much the area has change. To make a point Peaj uses magic to transform himself and the surrounding area to 1994 History buff Phill Pritchard approves the comparison. Naturally a big gathering requires a good group ride such as Storm Surge So Styles work mates decide to poor water over him. Peaj uses Storm Surge to show off his new fashion range to rival Han30's hats - However Tommy does not approve Time for more water action as Peaj has his water shoes on and Josh_C makes a good attempt at getting out of a depth charge boat With 4 slides to spare a rivalry breaks out and Peaj, Phill Pritchard, EC! & RideWhisperer all say they will get to the bottom first! Seriously RideWhisperer you may have won, but no need to look so smug about it! MattyMoo on the other hand does not care about winning and just wonders where he can get some more bags And there we have it the penultimate part is now complete and in less than 24 hours you will get to see the final part! But does Peaj get protective over more food? Who needs to get a room? What will the official group photo look like when taken by a professional photographer? There's not long to wait and you will not want to miss it! So whilst you wait go and have a nice long relaxing drink in timbucktoo.....

Right so it is confirmed that we are going to the Splash Landings Water Park on afternoon of Saturday 28th September - so one last question poll for you, votes have been reset. Would you like the opportunity to go crazy golf (The poll has been put up as it has been mentioned to me by a few people)

You have come back....have you got nothing else better to do? Well either way I'm glad as it means you get to experience the jolly good happenings (well actually in but of this part I'll take that back it gets quite terrifyingly bad ) of what happens in the 3rd instalment of the official trip report for that Ice cream photo shoot thing where we got to ride on Stealth a load of times. Did you know that? Anyway that's crack on with the show there is a lot to spill! Today's welcoming comes from our very own EC! who just wants to show off how sexy you can look whilst pretending to chat on the phone. Whilst in the saw queueline, Peaj gets out his sandwich for a snack but finds the mustard a bit too hot However Amber (One of the Stealth models) attempts to steal Peaj's sandwich and he retaliates No one steals Peaj's food! To ensure she doesn't attepmt to steal his sandwich again, he makes he of one of his beloved Saw traps in the nearby queue Han30 takes some photo evidence, ready to take to court whilst Mr. Fish looks on aimlessly thinking how he could of tortured Amber so much better Meanwhile outside the Saw queueline Ryan appears to be enjoying Dan9's company a bit TOO much! ... But mind he might just be excited whilst the Motley TPM Crew take over the force of the Samurai The benefits of large meets! With so much action and drama happening in this short space of time. There's only one thing for it...LUNCH Peaj, MattyMoo & Josh_C enjoy a kebab. J.S217, James & Co. and Mer take it one step further and run away to star in the film 'The Secret Garden. ' Mer gets ready for the film by painting her nails... On their way back, James & Co and Mer find a snowman in the middle of summer - What magic! So Han30 gets playful with her hands - Mr. Fish style... So we have now reached the end of this part of the journey, but down the next road what part of Thorpe Park history will we come across? What challenges are being faced around Depth Charge and what is MattyMoo still searching for? But we don't want to give you the answers to those yet..... No we want you to wait until tomorrow so that you will come back for some more chocolate cake....We don't have cake but I can offer you a virtual one. On that note time to sign off and the continued story will see you soon.

So we have got to Thorpe'O'Clock which only means one thing - Part 2 of the Official Trip Report at the Stealth Ice Cream Photo Shoot. So get yourself out into the sun, grab a drink and a slice of cake (That's what I'm doing ) and enjoy yourself as you get immersed into the next part of our story. So we last left off with 2 of our number dropping out as they were just too weak to handle us. However as tradition goes J.S217 will like to give you all a very big welcome back No really! Peaj & Mer want you to feel REALLY welcome as we want to see you at the next meet 'Friends' (In that Inbetweener voice) All this warm welcome even creeps Han30 out and that is saying something! Meanwhile J.S217, James & Co. & Ryan wonder where a weird horrific smell is coming from, whilst R1C4Y is wondering if he got away with it! Ryan then finds out what R1C4Y did and then starts giggling like a little schoolboy when they find out about wind humour. Then again it's also hard not to laugh when Marc is sticking out his tongue and Tommy looks possessed. You can just see the plea for help in Matt's eyes After the adventures of the Colossus queue. EC! & Ridewhisperer cheer Mr. Fish on in Loggers Leap to manhandle Han30 . Naughty Boyz! Josh_C, MattyMoo & Phill Pritchard were not so lucky though on Loggers Leap, getting the full pelt of a wave triggered by a full boat at the front. At the other end of the park THE SWARM was happily capturing victims for it's nest in this great shot Meanwhile those TPM Maniacs were playing happy families in the safe protection of the Rocky Express Queueline. Aww how sweet.... So another part is over and that piece of cake went down nicely with that drink in the sun. However I'm sure you want a clue for tomorrow. Well I ask does that jolly optimistic Peaj actually get violent? Mr. Fish's wandering hands said hi to Han30 but does she feel the same way back or do her interests lie elsewhere? Is there a tranquil, quiet and relaxing place for those TPM Maniacs to have some food? I really want to tell you those answers now but......I won't so get back in your place and stay in line and wait patiently for that all important 3rd part.

TPM Maniacs - Good Day finally at long last the first part of the official Stealth Ice Cream Photoshoot has arrived! It was a nice warm summers day with lots of faces to be included who partook in the day. But enough with the 'once upon a time' malarkey! You want pictures so here they are... It was 7AM in the morning and no these mad individuals haven't got the opening time wrong - They are models, for that Stealth photo shoot... So sing it with me - 'As there is No Business Like SNOW Business..... ' Unless your James & Co who unfortunately has to work with the ever smelly Han30 Meanwhile J.S217, ScaryCoasterBoy, Phill Pritchard, Mr. Fish & Peaj get ready to be called and make sure Han30 stays a safe distance Tommy starts strangling Dan9 out of impatience awaiting his photo to be taken, Ryan ignores it whilst Marc is strangely happy about what is happening It is time to launch and the Stealth obsessed Planenut, the Stealth Worker Styles & Non Stealth Worker Rocket are uber excited it's about to start! So it's time to see what TPM Starred in at the photo shoot (as it was first thing in the morning) You see us go up the top hat .... and come down the top hat.... We then even got a blurry close up whilst our fellow models danced in the snowy flavoured ice cream foam After all those rides on the Stealth (24 for some ) for the photo shoot - It was too much to handle for Ellie & Chris who made an early exit So what can you we expect when we all return tomorrow for the 2nd part of the trip report starring the ever famous members of TPM? Well I'll ask you 3 questions right now. What does R1C4Y think he can get away with? Who feels the wrath of Mr. Fish's wandering hands? Will we witness the beginning of the 3 wet musketeers? That sounds really exciting huh! so toodle pip it's time for thorpe'o'clock....

Ciao!

Mer you have now taken the last spot - You are so lucky you mentioned it when you did

Not forgotten just not got on a computer since you said. Don't want edit on phone which comes up with HTML jargon plus your in my car - how could I forget

Yeah - there will be my apologies I have actually been quite lazy. Was gonna do it last week but ended up runnin the company I work at due to my manager and the owner being on holiday - it'll be here soon

A big thumbs up to Sidders for his enthusiastic effort he put into this quiz. Just have to say one thing on the top couple of results.....COME ON BROMLEY - BROMLEY OWNED THIS QUIZ Congrats Dan9

I'm gonna give this a shot with my limited knowledge I am the Saw Advocates

Proper gutted right now in my selfish childish way. Went with a bunch of 6 people crazy golf in the afternoon to then go to that travelling funfair next door called funpark where you pay £7 to get in for unlimited rides for 4 hours. Looks like a good selection this year with models I haven't yet had the opportunity to go on so have been looking forward to it. So we get to funfair everyone goes that's too expensive we would all rather go pub for the evening fr social drinks which leaves me in disbelief as £7 is cheap for unlimited 4 hours in my eyes and is less than £2 an hour. I'm put on the spot as driver knowing I'm the only one who wants to go in and so sadly now have to miss out. Plus it's te last day the fair is there! They'll be spending a lot more in the pub I assure you. My feelings to this gutted and frustrated but knowing I need to not sure how I truly feel due to having to be a bloody adult about it. RANT OVER!!!! I feel slightly better now having a tantrum here
