  1. There could be as many as another 8 films! ?
  2. Thanks for that! I'm now booked for Friday and Saturday night.

    Maybe they have changed their mind and it's going to make a splashback soon! ?
  4. Was just having a bit of fun! ?
  5. Agreed. I'm confused ?
  6. Cedar point have a themed bouncy castle and have had it for years. No one moans about it. ?

    What! Are you kidding me? ?
  8. Well I personally felt MT was dull! So I would say Wodan was far better. The Beast was even far better than Mystic Timbers. Overrated!
  9. A few of us drive so lifts can be arranged Matt. I will message you.

    Halloween TPM meet we had the most intense and thrilling ride in its history at Thorpe Park, to then go on it a little later and have an absolutely abysmal cycle.

    I think the park have performed well so far on all my visits this year, I do find crowds seem exceptionally low so far this year, lower than last year even.
  12. And then break just days later!
  13. Certainly not this year, just recently. I literally only a month ago had an awful ride consisting of 6 min dispatches, half the effects broken, sound off in places and a broken ceiling (which later fell down)

    That really was an interesting experience, cant say I've ever had that happen to me before. The irony was that it had literally been the smoothest ride I have had on Vampire in as long as I can remember, to then getting smashed three times into the sides of the wheel catch!
  15. Thanks guys. It was a brilliant day, glad you both enjoyed it! Bring on the next one!
  16. See you all outside Dragon's Fury around 9:45
  17. Surely people didn't think it was going to be specially designed to fit in the theme. It will just be a bog standard hire, rather than their own, surely!
  18. Good to have you on board! And @Stuntman707 one would assume?
  19. Hello TPM Peeps This years Alton Towers Meet will take place on Saturday 29th to Sunday 30th June. We plan to spend the Saturday and the Sunday on park and will spend Saturday evening in Derby having a meal and socialising further. Most people that are going will be staying at Derby Pride Park Travelodge from Friday evening, but feel free to stay wherever. We aim to be in the park at 9:30am to make use of the ERT. Please take note if you plan to say overnight, it will be your responsibility to book your rooms and unfortunately if you're under 18 we cannot help. If you stayed the night, under no circumstances will TPM get involved and take responsibility with how you stay overnight, the overnight section will be an over 18's event. Don't be put off if you have never been to a meet before. Whilst it can be quite nervous meeting for the first time, you will fit in straight away and spend time enjoying yourself with people who share similar interests. We were all new once upon a time. Please let me know if you plan on attending or drop me a message if you have any questions.

  20. So European Park attendance figures are released. I am not sure how reliable these are as many people kept saying Thorpe's attendance was majorly down for instance yet here it states a 5.6% increase. https://blooloop.com/european-theme-park-attendance-2018/
  21. So Black Buccaneer is not returning for the season and released the statement shown below to various queries on Twitter. Do we think it will return? Will it take nearly four years for a decision? Personally I think the worlds first H&B leisure stall in a pit will take its place. After sailing the high seas for 30 years, Black Buccaneer has run aground and unfortunately won’t be setting sail in 2019. Keep a ‘weather eye’ on the horizon though to see if the most fearsome ship in Pirates’ Cove will take to the seas again.
  22. Two weeks until the next meet. Would be good to have a few more people attend. Let me know if you would like to attend! Even if you have never been before they are good fun and it's great spending time with people interested in the same thing!

    On my three visits I have been that are on peak days I have queued less than 15 minutes for a lot of the rides including the coasters. Rides don't just go down due to a technical reason, they go down due to people being sick and weather delays. The latter they are very strict with so has happened regularly.
  24. It is already looking incredible! So tall!!!! Can't wait!
  25. Mattgwise replied to Marc's topic in The Past
    I hope so, would be nice to see it in the other parks!
