I guess it will be my first TPM Meet too, although I can't do Nandos'as I will be travelling up to do Blackpoolon the Sunday

I will be there on the Saturday, +1 or 3

As aweful as it may seem, I have had a deep fried Snickers, and it was awesome

More importantly, Camelot haven't pre-sold any tickets for this year, so Alton are gaining the free advertising ... free!Shame on you Alton.

I agree, although it doesn't like bluetooth for some reason.

How awesome is that. One car at a time though.

Well both Mellors rides, Big Ben and Space Roller have been 'hiding' in Cumbria. I really don't know what is going on with Mellors these days.Thanks for clearing up the stock photos issue. I just hope that Thorpe get the photos removed

After much speculation about its' future, Ride-Guide have revealed that Samurai is not to be relocated to Chessington, but sold. The Mondial Top Scan, one of only two, soon to be three, permanantly located in UK parks.The ride is currently being advertised For Sale on this website.

We still have loads, and it's still falling :rolleyes:Here is a great way to pwn people on forums. :PLets say someone asks where they can find a pov of woudracer at Toverland?How about this? http://tinyurl.com/c9nb5oSome home pics - excuse the shocking quality, cameraphone.....Wednesday, 6amThursday 845amThursday 845amFriday 123030 mins laterSaturday 0830Saturday 0830I might dig out the DSLR for some nature shots later :(Philips have just anounced a 21:9 tv So no more black bars on movies.Blu Ray just got a partner

Tut tut, Windows Genuine Validation FAIL ... I have never seen that before :PYou use the silver them I used to use and a plain black screen which I prefer too.... mind you, my desktop is usually littered with icons

Pretty

Sadly, I only have a light dusting

Very professional

Precisely.I am now 24 hours into Windows7 64bit and it is really easy to use ... and pretty

We didn't discuss a date, merely the possibilities of the trip ;)and you are FAIL

Well I think that most parks see fan sites as some free advertising. Sure we don't all wear rose tinted specs all of the time, but as long as the balance is there, and any criticism is fair and justified, then they don't worry too much.BPB seem to live in the dark ages where bullying was acceptable. I have criticised BPB and other Parks in the past, challenged decisions made - including BPB, Thorpe, Alton and Flamingo Land. The only Park who didn't accept my point of view ... you only get one guess who that was

Well this park can do nothing right, it seems.Not content with banning packed lunches, banning Tripods, introducing an admission charge in the middle of a recession .... they have now gone and threatened one of their fan sites with legal action, which has resulted in them deciding to shut down. http://www.tbppbguideforums.info/bpb/viewt...asc&start=0

Well I have spoken to Tom, and I am sure that we can organise something. It is looking like the weekend 4th-5th April but not sure which day is which yet.

Ride Guide have chosen Paultons as a double header for our visit to Thorpe in mid April. I havent been for two years, so am looking forward to it

Okay, maybe I overshot the mark a little.... you aren't that good

Hahaha Tommy, you should never have gone into voluntary TPM Official Greeter retirement .... you are soooo goooood, even though 4 times is a wee bit of overkill ;)Thanks

If you are riding, you buy a wristband(up to £32) as normal and can ride all day. If you don't ride, then you can pay entry (£5) and can ride a few of the non- thrill rides like the monorail, PBE (train)

One thing to bear in mind here, is that the other tourist attractions, Tower and piers are doing better than the have for years, yet BPB has seen a steady decline, probably linked to the sheer lack of additions. The town, on the other hand has seen constant improvements, albeit long overdue, and the seafront regeneration is making a massive difference.Blackpool is a tacky place where people go for Stag and Hen nights, get drunk and fall over and various other things I go there about 4 times a year for BPB, rarely visit the town, far less stay there - it really is that bad!The Pleasure Beach has been in terminal decline for years, the credit crunch may well serve as the catalyst which closes the gates for good. The BPB business plan in 2008 has been nothing short of commercial suicide and they have scored a succession of 'own goals' which have only exacerbated the situation - Other parks have flooded the Market with BOGOFs', BPB hike the wristband up to £32; Flamingoland and Camelot slash the price of the Annual Pass for the first so many to buy, BPB hike the price to £189 and introduce an admission charge.Not great days ahead for BPB.
