*cough* I was first this point last round scarycoasterboy was 3rd, it's jus I've slipped 3 spaces. *cough* But on a serious note thanks for the quiz it's been fun and has provided something different to what we have on here Surprised certain other people are not further up the board to be honest (no offence) just a bit shocked I am where I am and other people who don't scream out the knowledge have come quite far up!

Out at the pub with topsyturvey15 with a few pints and a burger - what a great time

That's been my member title the last 2 years - your talking to the 'original' Smiler until towers stole the title & now it makes it look like I'm their follower when I was here first On another note Sidders your banned for beating me to sexiest male last year without you I would of won

Banned for not handling your drink

Good day to all you fine devilish Maniacs, and it appears you have stumbled across the last part 5 of 5 of the TPM/ TN meet to Thorpe Park's Ministry of Sound. A bit later than I would of liked due to dodgy internet connection within the early hours of the morning, but here you have it - Which I suppose is quite fitting as the end of this Part will be 'The Morning After......' So let's take a look at what happens. The Ministry of Sound is really starting to show off it's light displays with this rainbow of colours Matt Creek continues to drink into the night But soon finds all the drink consumption is too much for him to handle On this note we exit the ministry, leaving Stretchy who transforms into his true form when he thinks no one is looking. Arriving at the Travelodge TopsyTurvy15 takes it easy on the sofa after all the partying getting ready for bed However Pluk is still up and ready to party and opens up another drink. Plus with the noisy Mr. Fish, Peaj & Saskerina on the bed - The party continues even later into the night The next part is too rude to be shown on a family friendly website so all I can say is that it involved a Chocolate Orange. The morning after these last 5 survivors off TPM are back at Thorpe Park, but for once not to go and spend the day there To finish this off all so nicely Please brace yourself for the rather wet but fantastic OFFICIAL GROUP PHOTO of the trip. And there we have it - The Ministry of Sound event is over for TPM this year. I for one loved the event and would highly recommend it to people. I was originally thinking with it coming from a Theme Park it would be a bog standard job but I was proved wrong and would be a regular attender if it was a local club near me. The empty queue lines leading up to the event and being able to carry and drink your pint almost everywhere on park made the atmosphere seem so relaxed and enjoyable. My apologies for getting a bit stroppy for an hour or so just before the club, I was just having a tired childish tantrum after the long day at that point - No excuse but need to get it out there! Most of all the group of people we have coming to these events this year are fantastic. None of these would be possible without YOUR involvement so a big Thank You for everyone that makes these meets what they are. So I bid farewell until the next trip report the STEALTH ICE CREAM PHOTOSHOOT, coming to you sooner than you think!

Banned for being a detective!

Jolly Ho - You've arrived back here for Part 4 of 5 of the official Ministry of Sound at Thorpe Park Trip Report. So yes this part became rather delayed by a weekend whilst I braved the medieval world at Warwick Castle and tried out the Summer Nights over a pint - Please accept my apologies. However enough about life we want pictures that show people drunk that's what your really here for at the end of the day ain't ya....So moving swiftly forward! Coaster Crazy at Tower Nerds welcomes you to the clubbing at Thorpe Park - 90's Style! Rocket finally enjoys his first legal drink whilst Phill Pritchard really soaks in the atmosphere With two drinks in hand TopsyTurvy15 is really starting to rave it up whilst Matt from Tower Nerds looks on into the distance After spilling his drink Matt Creek gives Topsyturvy15 an evil look which in turn makes him glare at Saskerina so he can pass the blame. So nothing else is spilt - Matt Creek decides to have a good go at drinking his pint Getting into the spirit, Pluk, Peaj with his face melting away & Topsyturvy15 make the club glow! Mr. Fish really gets his moves on to start attracting the ladies over to him. Stretchy goes cross eyed whilst Mr. Fish proves a point that he can dance and hold beer. In retaliation Pluk shows Mr. Fish how you hold your drink whilst you dance the night away. As it has become custom in one part to include a panoramic photo, this just seems the perfect opportunity to show off how the dome is transformed So I leave you with this thought whilst you have all gone to grab yourself a drink as you can just feel the party spirit whilst trawling through this penultimate part. Who towards the end of night shows their true colours and transforms their demonic form into an alien? What antics happen after the partying is over? And how will the official group photo for this trip turn out? All will be revealed after an evening theatre trip tomorrow evening where we will conclude this journey into the partying sensations of the maniacs

So the sun has been out and the Ministry of Sound is edging closer forward. Your about to experience what the Ministry of Sound event is like before too much drink comes into play. I think you'll find you just bumped into Part 3 of 5 of the TPM Official Trip Report at the Thorpe Park Ministry of Sound Event. Apologies if this is something you were trying to avoid, but your here now so you might as well join in Before the evening section, due to the heat, Peaj enjoys cooling off by the Tidal Wave drips However the day time part of the event comes to a sudden close when EC! keeps getting prodded by this enormous dog. Moving swiftly forward, during the 'interval' TopsyTurvy15 & Peaj get UV'd up and enjoy braving THE SWARM over a pint To see how well they glow a trip to X - With it's lovely laser lights - gets them ready for the party spirit During the night when riding Colossus, we find that no staff man the photo's so here's a sneaky shot of a screaming R1C4Y & Peaj. 11PM came too soon and the ride's start to shut down so off to the dome we go and wow have they transformed the place . Just look at Stretchy's, Phill Pritchard's, Mr. Fish's & Saskerina's amazement when they first entered the transformed Dome With people dancing and going off to the toilet, Circles start forming around drinks that need protecting as R1C4Y kindly demonstrates Making sure the drinks stay protected, Pluk for once has a genuine reason to start a fight over any trespassers that came our way. As the night progresses, drinks in hand - the TP Maniacs & Tower Nerds start to turn into possessed dancing demons. And so I bring part 3 to a close, just before the drunken antics and bad dancing are about to begin. But how good are Mr. Fish's dancing skills? Does UV Paint & Sweat make a good combination? What was the starting point for Matt Creek when, before it became too much for him in the morning? As this journey has now finished it's daytime run and has turned to night - It is only fitting that the next two parts to this report is released at night time - So prepare yourselves for the wait and at some point tomorrow evening you will see how us Maniacs like to P.A.R.T.Y!!!!

My localish beer garden - I love this place. I have never ridden any of the rides here or gone to see the shows but it's a great place to have a drink and sit on the grass or sit in your waltzer with a dodgem table! The shows at the beginning of the season were for E4 and then once E4 have finished doing what they do then the 'stadium' comes down and then that's when the crazy mouse arrived last year, when more room was available. However in the 'western' area they do like a comedy show or dance/ entertainment - A bit of pick and mix really. However I just go there to enjoy a drink in nice surroundings. What it is, I suppose you could say is a entertainment complex which has a feel of a festival that doesn't move

Hello all you wannabe munchkins and I congratulate you for coming back to Part 2 of 5 of TPM's Official Trip Report @ The Ministry of Sound - Thorpe Park Style For all those that questioned Stretchy looking soaked from Rumba Rapids and wondering if Tidal Wave followed beforehand, the water was ALL from Rumba, Tidal Wave happens later in the journey. So let's pick up a sandwich for your lunch time read and get stuck in.... ScaryCoasterBoy, Saskerina, EC!, Luke_A, J.S217, Matt Creek & TopsyTurvy15 (Who has finally sorted out his greasy hair ) are enjoying the sun. These same people then prove they are brave enough to take on THE SWARM, bar a couple of cry babies as Phill Pritchard scared them off with his sun hat. Only being able to handle 1 non-wet ride at a time in this heat - To save queuing - Matt Creek, Matt @ TN, 'Plus 1' Chris & Peaj wait on a Tidal Wave To have a spin dry, Stretchy & Matt Creek take a on a Storm that started brewing in this teacup Just look at this action shot, Peaj is really concentrating on getting that teacup spinning Whilst J.S217 is having a Jolly Good Time... Until sitting all by himself in a cup with Coaster Crazy @ TN gets too much for J.S217 emotionally That Heat I tell you breaks people down! Storm in a Teacup comes to an end & Peaj is satisfied on his spinning abilities. However it's too much to handle for TopsyTurvy15, Rocket & Phill Pritchard. Starting to get ready for the Ministry of Sound, The Tower Nerds - Matt, Coaster Crazy & Stretchy say a temporary goodbye at Detonator This is Detonator for those who don't know what that is.... With only 1 ride to go before the night activities These 5 prepare their new range of footwear for the ride. But who are they & what are they preparing for? Well you will see what they will be going on in Part 3 which is going to be released around lunch time (oh not again!) tomorrow. But what is R1C4Y protecting? How do you go about getting a free ORP? Who will start glowing in the dark once the clubbing begins? This next part is a nice transition from Day N Night, so please don't go away singing that club classic from 2007! This is a 90's event!

It has been a long time coming but the storyboard is complete, the drunken captures have been taken and Episode 8 of the Maniacs Adventures is about to hit your screen So brace yourselves for Part 1 of 5 of the Official Trip Report of the Ministry of Sound @ Thorpe Park - 90's Style! (As a personal note there has been some great trip reports from you guys on this event). Today Colossus is on 1 train operation, so for the under 18's it was a must do first ride . How many people can you spot from TPM in the last 2 photo's? You should be able to see 5 on the train It's like playing Where's Wally - TPM Style! Having no queue Rocky Express was the next point of call and TopsyTurvy15 & J.S217 get ready to chase that Indian Rocket & Peaj however are more interested in annoying them throughout the ride by Poking them until they scream Matt Creek feeling left out looks absolutely disgusted he has to ride Rocky Express when he thought he was here for the club night Due to the extreme heat even this early in the morning the group take shelter in the shade of the Rumba Queueline. Phill Pritchard, Rocket & Towers Nerd Matt get ready for an unusual soaking on Rumba Rapids The waters look very rough today, but both boats are full of smiles The meet organisers of the day Stretchy & Peaj give a bigs thumbs up to the extremely wet Rumba ride Detective Luke_A is back! If only he was old enough to be present in the mystery of Part 5 Other smily faces include Matt, Topytuvy15 & Pluk. And here we are the end of Part 1 already, sometimes they just finish really quick don't they? But don't worry in approximately 24 hours you will have Part 2 to enjoy your lunch time hour with But I will leave you with these thoughts. Why does Peaj make people Ill? What is the quickest way to cool off without queuing for a water ride? And are the Maniacs starting up a new shoe range? hmmm yes that's got you thinking!

What Is it with photoshoots and rain....

Thorpe park kindly offered more spaces. PM has been sent to you

Picture Round is like Marmite - You love it or hate it, personally I found this one to be my least favourite round, (I just don't recognise stuff) but I'm sure there will be many more that will love it!

Well for the traditional work life type people it's early - You morning lover Just as a quick reminder in case some people have forgotten/ Do not know. In order to participate in this event I will be getting you to sign your soul to me on a press release form whilst we are preparing ourselves for the shoot. No signed form = no participation in the Photo Shoot. If your under 16 and have confirmed your attending the form will be sent to you after you have chosen an email address for it to be sent for your parents/ guardians to sign.

ATTENTION! Due to a couple of drop outs and THORPE PARK being extremely generous! They have opened up a few more spaces due to the popular demand. Same terms and conditions. That means if you have expressed your interest already you will now have a guarenteed place! If at this point you have not expressed your interest, the deadline has now passed and you will be unable to attend the photoshoot. You are however more than welcome to join us when the park opens for the social afterwards. PMs with contact details and updated attendance list will be done today. Once again a HUGE thanks to THORPE PARK for allowing this to happen and to allow extras to come!

Welcome back to the final part - 5 of 5 of the official Nemesis Inferno Birthday Celebrations Report. Congratulations you survived the weekend hanging on the verge of existence wondering what will happen. You can now take a breather as your about to see the conclusion. The Secret Six - Peaj, Darkadder312, Matthew, J.S217, Han30 & Michelle got to stay in the station for the Lift Hill walk With no one around, Han30, Michelle & J.S217 touch Nemesis Inferno in a way that no one should.... Michelle & Peaj then pose outside the railings - Just because they could After the behind the scenes tour, some lucky TPM Adventurers got to also go up the lift hill. Lucky #@$!% getting everything Whilst waiting to leave the park a game of Drink Capsule Jenga erupted to loads of interest However R1C4Y was more interested in playing ping pong and losing the balls on top of the games machines There is also a new claw machine game in the dome where you can win Mer as a prize After the adventures, classic panoramic view of a meal at Harvester & Mr. Fish starts morphing into an actual fish J.S217 struggles to keep his drink down, with the shock of what is happening in front of him Finally we are at the end of the adventure so that only means one thing. THE OFFICIAL GROUP PHOTO!!!!! I would like to finish this off with a huge thumbs up for everyone sticking together. It was an extremely big group that stayed together for the entire day, so that's no mean feat! The crowds have been as good as always and a few people even mentioned on this trip (One's who can remember the meets of the old days) that the overall people on the meets have matured and everyone seems relaxed and is turning into one big happy family. To get it to that point we can only Thank You! As without you, things like this would not be happening. Once again, also a HUGE thanks to THORPE PARK for putting this together for us and in helping make these meets so special! So with all these last few meets being so close together, I now have the Ministry of Sound report to put together. I can already see your trembling with excitement.

Hey, after a few discussions with Phill Pritchard on our meets with his love for past Thorpe History, I promised him I will dig out the old photos and find some for him. These are some that I have found so far but have quite a few albums to go through. I post them here as I'm sure there will be more than just Phill Pritchard who will be interested. Me on Chief Rangers Carousel Me Happy as I'm on Dino Boats Peaj avoids bumps from friend on Dino Boats Peaj interested in Concrete outside CCR Peaj standing outside the really big ride that is Mr Monkey's More to folllow when I get time

I objected his mark as I was convinced Saw was on island H. I got a response saying it was on Island F and naturally with my love for Saw I was outraged and demanded he got his facts right about the best coaster on the park! However with my love for Saw coming through it meant JoshC lost some marks. Sorry Dude
