Oh yes Vodka and Red Bull (Not that I'm saying drinking is to be encouraged) But a good sponsor nonetheless. I hope the talks go well as I can see myself and a few friends having a fantastic night on these events if they go ahead.

Some good reviews on here (And some picky ones...) but I now can't wait to be taken by the Swarm tomorrow now.However it has just occured to me I don't know about anyone else but when you hear the Swarm Cry I think it sounds a bit like the 'monster' from the TV series Lost. Anyone else agree? Or is it just me?

Fantastic Track, appeals to the target audience - I'm just glad it's not being played around the whole ride as I know I'd most likely get sick of it otherwise being stuck in hour long queues throughout the year - The none lyric music I can handle as it's longer and not so in your face.Thorpe have done well this year and have been really innovative.

17, 18th March - Merlin Annual Pass Holder Only?
AJ replied to Mr. Fish's question in Quick Questions
Right I have just checked the terms and conditions as sometimes the friend and family discounts do not apply on certain dates. However for Thorpe Park here is the following:Adult Walk Up Price £42 (What!! That's gone up sooooooo much since I last bought a ticket)Friend and Family Price £24Child £31.20Friend and Family Price £18Now the important bit.....Offer is valid from 15th March - 6th November as long as tickets are booked at least 24 hours in advance.It's a dead cert to give this call another shot and If they say otherwise mention the false advertising on their website and with that they should then give you the deal -
These adverts are doing the job and is really integrating into the public. Many of my friends have started talking about the Swarm with many of my old work mates phoning me up (as they know I like this type of thing) to find out what I know about it.The adverts are adding a great deal of mystery and the teasers don't give anything away just a nice bit of suspense. Thorpe have done extremely well at marketing Swarm this year IMPO. And it's going to be a dead cert that the gate figures will rise up a lot this year to what Thorpe are wanting.

A Thanks to Phill Pritchard there for mentioning his tickets to Avenue Q, Which then made me realise they must be on tour and now I have found the venues I will be booking this up soon. When it was showing in London I was obssesed with this show - to the point I actually went to see it with a puppet!Last week I went to see the Rock Of Ages, It's not the best or the worse I have seen but it does rate in my Top 10, and the narrator Ronnie in it is completely hilarious. I still can't get over the fact that Justin Lee Collins is in a musical. However It was still extremely good fun and would recommend it to people. At the end of the month I will be seeing the wizard of oz as Russell Grant is currently playing the wizard of Oz and I can just see him playing it will be hilarious.My favourite West End shows I have seen so far will probably have to be We Will Rock You, Blood Brothers, Avenue Q, Mamma Mia and Oliver.

I wasn't expecting a new land for 2012. I'm glad it's tied in with their 'adventure' theme and is now another country to explore, continuing with the 3 big lands they want.I'm going to assume flying jumbos has been placed where the good old rodeo used to be, but if the entrance is coming from forbidden kingdom I think it might look a bit tucked away from everything. However with the Safari Experience that might only be temporary if the proposed entrance is behind RamesesQuite looking forward to seeing the changes.I know people here don't like the low investment and I personally too would like to see a new ride come in a bit more often according really the last 2 big things were Kobra and Dragons Fury and how long ago was the latter....(04) but it works, visitors still come and everyone always enjoys themselves here, especially with the family.

Anybody going on Thorpe Friday? My thinking was that weekend will be busy and all enthusiasts are mainly going Thursday so was thinking that Friday will be the quietest for premiere screaming. Anyone else going that day or not?
-
I'm slightly disapointed that they haven't included any dates for the over 18's on the website. It's all under 18 events on the last Friday of the month.Come on Thorpe, us 'oldies' wanna have a club session to - even if you only do one event, to see how it works...

Thought 'The Artist' was fantastic - Was surprised to see that the cinema was still packed after so many weeks due to the fact everyone I know has judged it won't be there cup of tea before they have even seen it!

Is it wrong that my favourite part of The Wanted concert last night was their Coldplay tribute...

Unofficial PREMIERE SCREAMING Mini Meet
AJ replied to Cornflakes's topic in Your Planned Trips and Reports
I will be there that day so I'll make sure I give you guys a shout whilst I'm at the park to just show my face really -
Is too excited to see the Muppets later...I've been waiting too long for them to come back to cinemas!
-
Being conditionally the 25th - I can confirm my attendance Very happy about that as ill be missing ERT so am properly looking forward to meeting some old faces again (and new)
-
Unfortunately I'm going to have to pull out of this amazing opportunity as have managed to get a job lined up for that day and at the moment when your getting a business off the ground you need to grab it when you can - Be up at Marylybone from 10:15 till 16:45 and I can't see me getting from London to THORPE PARK in 15 minutes - I'm gutted!Hopefully however if the 'Official' Meet ends up being the following Sunday then I will most certainly be there - Still gutted about ERT though...

I thought it was quite impressive to be honest, the building looks destroyed and the top layer of the wall has come off in areas. If there was burn marks all over the attraction which I've noticed some people seem to want all it'll look like is....well....burnt.I'm relatively happy so far with what they've done at the moment and theres still another month to go to finish it all off - lot's can happen in 28 days, I mean 29 (forgot it's leap year)
