Nah, they haven't mentioned the words "worlds first" a million times when talking about X Factor. Summer's still around for a while yet!

Nah they just do it the rest of the year outside of Fright Nights!

Just booked my room at Heathrow T5 Travelodge, if you book before tomorrow and use discount count SUMMER2017 you get 15% off making it £51 for 3 people sharing.

Unfortunately this Oakwood trip has been cancelled Currently working on a backup plan and should have something up soon!

X is back open.

I've seen a few new films this year thanks to Odeon Limitless: Kong: 6.5/10 Free Fire: 7/10 Ghost In The Shell: 5/10 Raw: 8/10 Alien Covenant: 6.5/10 The Mummy: 7.5/10 Wonder Woman: 9/10 Spider-Man Homecoming: 9/10 It Comes At Night: 5.5/10 Baby Driver: 9.5/10 Been a really good year of cinema so far, definitely looking forward to Dunkirk, Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets, Atomic Blonde, Detroit, It and Blade Runner 2049

Loggers replacement That's funny even for you Steven!

X factor will be holding auditions at the park https://www.standard.co.uk/stayingin/tvfilm/the-x-factor-drastic-revamp-to-see-live-shows-cut-and-auditions-held-in-a-theme-park-a3579046.html

Fright Nights is going to be massive this year, ScareTour hinted at an announcement soon

I meant I wouldn’t do 2 days at Busch, I’d definitely recommend going there for 1 day though!

I wouldn't bother doing 2 days at Busch myself, it's a good park but it's a lot further out than the other parks and if you're relying on public transport that's a couple of long journey days. Maybe do an extra day at Sea World orrrr another rest day maybe for shopping? I've only stayed on I-Drive but it depends what you want, I'm assuming you will be using public transport so a lot of the hotels on I-Drive do shuttle buses to and from Universal, Disney etc (Universal one is free but Disney is paid for). Seaworld can easily be accessed by the I-Trolley service with lots of stops all along I-Drive. Busch Gardens you can get a coach from Seaworld put on by your hotel probably. Then you can also use taxis, ubers etc to get around. I-Drive also has lots of different restaurants, bars and other entertainment options. Disney on site would be ideal if you're spending a lot of times at the Disney parks, but then it'll probably be more expensive for the hotel and not as easy getting to the other parks. (Someone who's stayed onsite at Disney may be able to help). Villa's are obviously nice but if you don't have a car I probably wouldn't bother. With most holidays it's usually cheaper to book it all yourself and cut out the middle man like Thomas Cook, but they do put on some good deals so it's best to keep an eye out. I used British Airways to book my flight and hotel and that was the best deal I could find at the time. I would also recommend skycanner and expedia, just keep and eye out for deals. For park tickets I'd always recommend attraction tickets direct, they do monthly deals where they chuck in something free with your park tickets. I booked mine at the weekend and we got free Blue Man group tickets! Anything else you want to know just drop me a message and I'll try help

Individual tickets

Hello all! I'm excited to announce plans for our August meet to Oakwood! The planned date of this meet will be 19th/20th August, please can you vote in the poll wether or not you will be able to make this weekend You have the choice of joining us from the Friday night right through to Sunday, or just coming for a smaller part of the weekend. If you plan to stay with us overnight, it will be your responsibility to book your own rooms. We are currently looking into best places to stay and it's likely we will stay overnight in a Travelodge near Tenby (as this is 20 mins from Oakwood). The Outline of the day/s will be as follows: Saturday at Oakwood Meet by the entrance at 09:45 am so we can sort out our tickets for when the park opens at 10am. Please bear in mind we will leave without you if you are late as it’s not fair on time keepers! If by any chance you happen to miss this meet point due to travel arrangements or just plain lateness you can either phone or text so we can arrange to meet you. As members have found out! We will then go and enjoy our day at Oakwood. I know not everyone will want to do some of the rides at Oakwood. If you decide to not come on please be polite and wait for everyone to come off and chat to other members whilst you are waiting. Or go off and do another attraction as long as you’ll be back after the group has finished riding the attraction. Please respect other people’s wishes who wish to ride certain things that you yourself may not be too keen with. During the day, around half 1, we will stop for a bite to eat where you can go and eat where you like and we will arrange where to meet after everyone has finished eating. (Who knows we might all want to eat the same thing anyway ) After lunch we will group together for the Official Group Photo for the day and continue going round the park. Around 7-8 we will have a quick snack somewhere to keep us going and then continue riding the attractions people want to do until the park closes. . The day will finish off at 10pm when Oakwood hold a fantastic Fireworks Display and UV colour powder party! More information can be found on that here: https://www.oakwoodthemepark.co.uk/after-dark/ Sunday In Cardiff As we are already in Wales and a 12 hour stint at Oakwood is good enough, we will finish with a more relaxing day in Cardiff. This day will have a better timetable nearer the meet due to the nature of the availability of the attractions. However those that are interested in exploring Cardff for the day will all be informed and kept in the loop but the basis of the day is to relax a bit more and get to know people outside of the theme park environment. If anyone has any ideas for what they would like to do in Cardiff, then please post below! I will soon be posting up a separate post on possible accommodation locations which you can use to help you decide where to sleep (If your staying for the night.) If however you know where your going already by all means book it up when we confirm the dates. If anyone has any issues or concerns or even nervous about coming, feel free to post here, or PM myself and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Please PM me or post here to say if you’re attending. If you are bringing a mate along with you, please also include who they are so they are not known as ‘Plus 1.’ The events with TPM have been fantastic this year and this one will be no different! Attending (4) Alexis David B (Maybe) Han (Maybe) Marc Mr Fish Roodie (Maybe) Ryan

The project hasn't been cancelled, it's just not Paramount anymore.

Fantastic weekend, thanks all!

Well then... New Pokemon for Switch too

I remember the food on park not being very great at all, regarding evening food it depends which hotel you're staying in as each one has it's own restaurants. As you're staying onsite I'd highly recommend getting the unlimited fast pass which is discounted to hotel guests.

I'm confused, are you guys coming?

It's funny, it's relevant, well done Thorpe.

Legoland Meet was decent if you have any photos from the day please post them below!

Currently looking into getting a hire car, but train is a backup

That was ****ing horrible

Ninjago opened today, anyone ridden it yet?

LBC have sacked Katie Hopkins after her comments regarding the Manchester attacks
