Thanks for the updates Josh, this ride is looking incredible and loving the logo. Can't wait to get out there to try it in the future.

I'm happy to take digs, a forum is for discussion after all and not sure how me being a meet organiser has anything to do with the comments I made, I'd have made the same comment whether a meet organiser or not, so completely irrelevant. I would certainly never consider myself "important" either, I am nearly 30 years old not a child! If it is coming to the end of it's life then a shame, one of the best ship rides out there! Many fond memories from over the years.

Still defending Merlin haha! I'm sorry but it's far too long for a swinging ship! Yes of course, obviously! The whole thing was more of a dig at Merlin!

Black Buccanneer is still awaiting its supports being put in and meanwhile at Adventure Island less than a day after it started being put in...

Oooo! Looks exciting!

It's essentially what they posted on social media.

Yet Thorpe Park Social Media said it would be ready for the main opening day, they were highly ambitious!

Agreed! Far more of an investment compared to X in 2013...

Yep! I can't believe he told me to get someone else! Madness! And that bbq sauce is AWFUL compared to what was used before.

If people want to yes! I will take this as confirmation of your attendance for now

Haha. Good idea. Maybe I should post and say I'm attending as well ?

Really? Our boat found it to be far more enjoyable and a couple got a soaking. I'm sure some of the pipes have been moved as well as there seemed to be one or two different rapid sections. As well as that the wave machine seemed slightly more aggressive as well. The paint work around the ride though, that's another story.

You were already on the list ???

Or goat simulator is the highlight game of game fx...

2019 advert is released... Wow... A truly dreadful advert like no other...

Hello TPM peeps, The CWoA meet will take place on Saturday 18th May  Plan for the day is pretty simple  Gates opening to 10:15 - Meet outside Dragons Fury 10:15 onwards - Rides 1ish - lunch (People can go off to different eateries) 2pm - close - more rides  The TPM meets are always great fun and the idea is to go round as a group getting to know each other, have fun and spend time with people who share the same interests. If you have never been to a meet before don't feel put off, we were all there once (myself not that long ago!). Once you get there you'll feel a part of the group straight away. We are all friendly people. If you have any queries drop me a message or comment below.  Also comment below or message me if you are attending. Attendance: Mattgwise EpicSmatty Glitch Loggers Creek Marc Marhelorpe Mr Fish. Terrortomb

The current wood panelling yes is beyond dreadful, that I can't deny. Even the material around windows and walls is coming away (one creating a lovely... Bottle holder). I just thought the supports which everyone was going on about didn't look quite as bad as they did in pictures.

I thought the opposite and that it didn't look as bad in person compared to the photos. The dome especially didn't really bother me. You should have said you were on park, we could have said hi!

Was a fantastic day out at the island like no other. Thanks to everyone for coming. Had you have come you could have done your own review. ?

Very odd, I used to plan a rewards trip to Thorpe in the last week of March, but we were the only ones there! Guess everyone has finally cottoned on to the fact that summer trips are a stupid idea!

Table booked for 10 at 7:15, allowing for time to leave the park and get to Staines. Anyone else wishing to come will have to arrange their own table. See you all Saturday!

Certainly not!!! Haha its a tradition so don't see why not!

Excuse the double post. Had difficulties booking a table for TGI Fridays for more than 8 on the Saturday and thought Pizza Hut would be silly as people will likely go to Pizza Pasta for lunch as with most TPM meets, but Harvester has lots of availability. Who is actually coming to the meal? Please let me know, otherwise I shall just book a table for 10. Also let me know if you really don't want Harvester and we can rethink. I will create a FB group for those going a few days before as well. Thanks.
