Hello all! I’m excited to announce the first meet of 2017, which will be the traditional Guildford Spectrum/Airhop trip. I understand it’s very late notice, and due to this there will be a limited selection of potential dates. The provisional date is set as Saturday 21st January, but as per usual you can vote for another date in the poll. The plan for the day with rough times is as follows: 12:30 - Meet at Airhop by this time for the briefing before the 1 hour session starts at 13:00 14:30 - Have a snack/lunch at Guildford Spectrum (Choices between Wimpy, Freedom Cafe, The View Bar and Strikes Diner) 15:00 - Ice skating session (finishing at 16:30) 17:30 - Bowling session 20:00 - Group meal (restaurant to be voted on!) Pricing for the individual events is as follows: Airhop - £12 with non-slip socks and £10 without Ice Skating - £6.10 + £2.10 skate hire (£8.20 total) Bowling - £5.90 for a single session. To confirm your attendance: Link to book AirHop for 13:00 is here https://bookings.airhoptrampolinepark.com/JumpBookings/BookSession.aspx Ice Skating tickets go on sale 2 weeks before the date, I will post a reminder on this date but they will need to be booked yourselves here https://spectrumonline.freedom-leisure.co.uk/esro/en-GB/categories/ice skating/2 Bowling will be pay on the day, I will be booking lanes. Please send me a PM saying what activities you will be doing Regarding the meal in the evening, I will be booking a table for this a week in advance of the date. As this is a very short notice trip, voting for the date and restaurant will be closing on the 1st January 2017. As soon as the dates have been chosen, I will be posting up links to the booking sites for the activities. The Guildford meets previously have all been great days out, and I’m sure this won’t be any different. As always anyone is welcome to these events, no matter wether it's your first or hundredth meet. I will be handing my mobile number out/creating a Facebook chat 1 week in advance of the chosen date for planning. If anyone has any concerns or questions at all regarding the meet, please just drop me a PM and I will be happy to help out with anything I know Guildford like the back of my hand, so if you need directions for on the day then please let me know!

Opening in time for the 2020 Olympics ?

I wouldn't even joke about that...

Will the people knocking down the flume know about the theme of new coaster though?

^ Those photos bring back memories, what a **** day! Best part was Storm Surge closing due to the rain

Towers are getting a woodie though.
Please say we're doing secret santa this year?
X is the best coaster in the UK.
I've been on all these so it's cheating, but... Jaws (Universal Orlando) Loggers Leap (Thorpe) Rodeo (Chessington) Corkscrew (Towers) Also wish I got to ride original Terror Tomb, X, Black Hole.
Jamie's right, it is a little silly now. If I was in his shoes, I'd be frustrated by it too. I seem to remember my first Thorpe ride being Colossus, think I was probably 10/11 years old? I was absolutely terrified! (Fun fact, when I was very young I would never go on those small rides outside shops etc as I was scared of them, so a 10 year old me doing Colossus was a bit mad.)
The thing is the park probably are working on it, just not visibly. The ride's shut and whilst it's a pain, everyone just needs to be patient and see what they do with this. If it's in the same state in 2 years time then yes you can start to worry
It is a shame that it's not going to be opening, but I'm sure Thorpe know more about the rides current situation than you or I. They have shown that they do care about getting rides open (Slammer every year, Samurai and all those times around Fright Nights that Stealth craps itself). It would be good to hear an official statement from the park about the ride, rather than nerds harrassing them on social media and over analysing throwaway comments. Hopefully they'll speak about it soon
What do you expect it to do, go for a walk?
Queuing an hour for Storm Surge and getting into a boat that's not filled with water is worth cracking out the Prosecco for IMO... But in all seriousness, the indoor drop in Saw is a fantastic moment that is let down by the rest of the painful experience.
There's no maximum amount of spaces, anyone is welcome!
Fish Creek is the only one that doesn't look like it's been faceswapped
