Yep, a real "pain in the ass" for George & Granville having to move to Chessie. I'll get me coat...
-
Don't worry folks, looking at those photos that were posted, there's definitely at least one more cactus to install. EDIT to say: The more I look at those photos of The Scorpion Express "progress" so far, the more I want to cry and cry.

Sorry it's not a rant - but so pleased you got things sorted Ellie. I was in complete and utter shock reading how things progressed, these people obviously have a combined IQ of 10 between all of them.

Becky and I are big Ke$ha fans - we went to her secret launch gig at a little back-street club in London a good few years back I had a stinking sore throat but still went along - mainly because there was a free bar for one thing "Timber" is catchy as hell, I am rather partial to it! I bought the new Sophie Ellis Bextor album last week, that's rather nice indeed - "Young Blood" is a gorgeous song and arrangement, love it.

Have PM'd you, cheers

My goodness my legs/ankles ache this morning
-
Sounds good to me! A beer or two helps with my bowling skillz too ...and I edit to say - of course my duties of bag holding will have to commence again. I was browsing through trip reports earlier that I hadn't read and saw I was namechecked (and missed) in the Alton Towers: Maniacs Head North one (hence my change of tagline under my username innit)

Haha I like your thinking Myk, but my tipple when I get there will probably be something from Costa at the station... I think my first pint will be after ice skating!
-
Come alllongggg! Just drink plenty of coffee on the way to Guildford
-
We have the Logo game ourselves so I don't want to have an unfair advantage
-
Haha nice one Myk, see you there My train gets into Guildford tomorrow at 11:15 so enough time to get to The Spectrum for 11:30-midday

I figure this is the best thread for this Does anyone have an unwanted Smiler sticker? I want one for my car and keep missing them on eBay! Will of course pay postage or whatever!
-
I'm training it up there in case you and Ian fancy that option, Sarah
-
Glad to hear it Peaj, mine's a Stowford Press!
-
Sidders better be going, I need a cider buddy for later I reckon Mystery Member is RideAddict
-
I've just spotted on the list - "Mystery Member" Any clues?
-
Note to anyone thinking of coming by train - just found out that South West Trains are running their Winter Sale promotion which means that if you are travelling from a SWT station to Guildford, the ticket will be £10 return, bargain! http://www.southwesttrains.co.uk/wintersmiles.aspx Normally my ticket from Portsmouth - Guildford return would be £22.50
-
I'd be surprised if queueing inside the cave is deemed safe any more thanks to H&S!
-
Said this myself a few pages back - I still hope to be pleasantly surprised but I reckon it won't be back until the Summer. If we're lucky.
-
That would make sense - you probably wouldn't want to get a Tidal-Wave soaking of lake water, but for Loggers & Rumba it's fine
-
I'm still wondering if we'll see the return of those amazing Abdab models
-
Yes was just going to say - now referred to as "Resort hotel" or "on site hotel" - I'm sure a 'proper' name will be announced soon. Big thumbs up for the Shark concept art - it would be amazing if something like that did come to fruition. As I said in the 2014 thread - theming wise, Swarm island is a huge thumbs up from me - and what was promised in the plans was delivered, and then some - so hopefully this concept art is another good sign of things to come - and maybe Angry Birds land will be well themed. (It still pains me that Stealth never got it's grandstand, I would've loved it even more if so )

This is the post LiamT is talking about: http://www.towersstreet.com/talk/european-parks-and-attractions/thorpe-park-europe%27s-most-un-resorty-resort/ OK, maybe it's a little over the top in parts, but ultimately, it's pretty spot on - amazing how much "damage" an awful map, CAPITALS, "Say No To BO" etc. can do to the brand image - I.e. cheapening and nastying it... which to me explains why they are sticking the word "Resort" on the end of Thorpe Park. As I keep saying - I just hope Angry Birds Land is pulled off well and a turning point... that said, other than the pointlessness of Swarm backwards, I think 2013 was one of Thorpe's best years in some time, so perhaps last year was the beginning of the change
