I'm certainly proof of that...
Are people really throwing toys around about this thing as well? This is why I voted for Kodos (or not at all)...

In deadpan posts it is hard to know where jokes begin and end but I do hope you are not suggesting that Deans posts do bring quality down, I'd say quite the opposite. Quality and quantity is possible you know.

I think it is probably best not to ask!

You'll be gutted (ba dum cshhh) to know that the jackets are currently 'well done'. I'll get my coat!

It still is the best themed coaster there in my opinion. It's just a shame that they've let it rot because with a little upkeep it could still look fantastic.

Inspired by pluk, I just purchased a 70cl bottle of Sailor Jerry, Jack Daniels Honey and Gentleman Jack - £56
Well, it is Christmas and they were all cheaper than they usually are - mysupermarket.co.uk told me the info

Hmmm - I reckon it'll open mid-season from that... if Scorpion Valley looks good and RR is back, then I shall have to go back to CWoA in 2014

That's the only award you think that's fixed? It seemed pretty genuine to me as it didn't feature recurring members or random members *cough*DeanGaryCox.
Oh and soz for not voting for JoshC in the sexiest male award, Sidders, I did actually vote for you...what a waste, you didn't even make top 3 I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE VOTED FOR ALPENGEIST OR PEAJ! AlPeaj tbh
This.Oh and charz for my awards yurrr

It's all about 2nd & 3rd's some people just not good enough to make the top so you settle for the wooden spoon

^ Keen for prize

High five on the Magners Honestly, after that night, I've been less keen on vodka!
And Marc has just said what I was about to point out, plus it's possible that people will go for a meal afterwards just like at previous meets this year We went to Frankie & Bennys afterwards at this year's Guildford meet, twas good times!

Out of interest is anyone likely to stay in Guildford after 6pm for a drink or two?

Drunk Pluk likes commas?

Thorpe Park Doge

Are the results going to be revealed tomorrow evening as well?

If so, would people by up for an 'Organised Chat' tomorrow evening to have a joke about all the results and that?

Good morning all of you wonderful people!   I'm very excited to officially announce plans for our Guildford Meet 2014! As usual you have the power to vote and change the date of the meeting but for the moment the provisional date is on Saturday 25th January 2014. 
 
Here is a link so you know how to get there

The Outline of the day will be as follows:
 
Meet by the stairs outside the Guildford Spectrum between 11:30am and 12pm as shown in a cheeky helpful picture below (in case you don’t know the area). This then gives us time to go into the Spectrum and get are skates and lockers ready to hit the Ice as soon as the session starts at 12:30. Price’s are yet to be confirmed for 2014 but at the moment they are approximately £5.90 for the session and £1.90 for the Skate Hire (10p more than last year ). During the skating session those who do not want to skate can be a spectator to all the comedy you’ve been framed moments of us falling over (and maybe get the cheeky video clip   ). The session will finish at 2pm where those who have not come to Skate and only want to show up for the meal and bowling can meet us within the Ice Skating arena. From here this is where times become approximate. We will then go to eat within the spectrum which currently offers a Wimpy (Burgers), Trattoria (Pizza), The View (Like the 360 Bar), Costa Coffee (Coffee   )& The Strikes Bar (Drinks), so this should cater for everyone’s different tastes. After we have eaten and before those skaters leave who do not want to bowl we have The Return Of The Group Photo so you can all have a picture to remember your day. Then we will get to play 2 games of bowling which is priced at £5.50 each which should provide a good amusing end to the day.
 
The event will approximately finish around 6pm if you want a rough estimate and after which you will be free to do whatever you please   .
 
I will be handing out my phone number for everyone who is attending the meet that day, should there be any problems. We aim to stay together as a group for the day, going from one activity to the next, enjoying getting to know people you share very similar interests with, the idea is to just go with the flow and enjoy the day with some awesome people. Whilst we cannot force you to stay with the group, it is the general purpose of these meets! You will have my number if you become split so by all means use it. The meets are a fantastic laugh and everyone is invited, even if you’ve never posted before or been to any kind of meet at all. If it's your first meet, I understand it can be nerve breaking - but we were all there at one point so know how it feels, please don't let this stop you from attending - Once there you'll be part of the group in no time!
 
Once again, everyone will have my phone number so please use it on the day   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. If you feel like my response is taking too long another member of the team will be more than happy to help. We will all try and help you out as much as we can.
 
Please PM me or post here to say if you’re attending (and which parts your attending). I’ll update the lists where appropriate!
 
Meeting place is around these stairs outside the spectrum.

Let's make this meet great - and people spread the word!

Ah crap, I think I forgot to vote!
Saturday 25th is probably the best date for me though

The votes are in and quite a number it was too (with a few new names who voted too, hopefully will be seeing you at the meet) and the date of the meet is now Officially 25th January 2014.

£14 million eh? Guess that extra £9 million is due to the hotel/zoo bit rather than actual investment into the rides...
Scorpian SOUNDS good, but Merlin PR speak is always dubious... Need further convincing...
AMAZU? They must have hired someone from Cedar Fair recently because all the names sound absolutely awful in recent times...
They should definitely move Creepy Caves (back) over to Mexicana now, could even expand the Sea-Lion Bay area as a result (if only for backstage times or stage)...
Need to see if Scorpian Express delivers I would say though...

This must be the most boring closed season for years.

I've also got the paperweight (£14.40 with AP discount). It's made from glass and got a really decent weight to it! Definitely think £18 is a reasonable amount to pay for it; £40 would have been a huge no from me though!
I've never got why the parks started charging for digital downloads. I mean, like seriously? If it was 50p or something, that would be more okay, but £2 a photo!? Especially when people can scan them up if they really want (even if you don't have a scanner at home, I bet people could find somewhere where they could do it). And it's not like a scanned copy is much worse than a digital copy (I notice next to no difference between the ORPs I've scanned up and digital copies I've seen of others), so I really don't agree with that one. THAT really is penny pinching...

Cornflakes

and James & Co.

are happy that no one is getting them confused with one another!
Wait a minute...

Aren't special editions of Monopoly usually £20-£25 at least anyways? So £30 is, whilst on the expensive side, reasonable.

So basically one African and one Aztec block?
Meh at this tbh, an extension to the hotel was bottom of my list of things Chessie need to do to improve (Zafari's menu being one of these things)... It's not going to improve days out for the majority of guests and the hotel was one of the (very) few things being done right (aside from Zafari)...
Defo a year to visit non-Merlin parks at this rate...
