Ah that is unfortunate! Hopefully you will get to experience it at some point but having young kids must make it tricky. Was hoping it would be more reliable this year but sounds like it's still having issues - the wonders of technology eh?
-
Head back definitely! Try to get front row and train 2 if you can You might wanna take pain killers (I always do) as you can get a bit of a head bashing some times - but it's worth it! Noooo Saw is the best

Says a lot really - surely the stone faces can't cost THAT much money? Falls just looks awful since they were removed As for Loggers - what a bloody state! Makes me sad as it was such an iconic ride for the park with the perfect amount of moistness- Rumba is pretty much dry as is Depth Charge and storm surge will only get your feet wet - then there is Tidal which is great if very hot weather (or if you just fancy a quick and easy shower). As for the junior rides - does the frog hopper thing have a name? Also I can't seem to see it on the park map but it's physically there alongside ol' timber tug boat with lovely clashing blue fencing - epic!

Yeah I watched it last night - although I skipped right to the end. So I know what to expect now but don't actually mind as I can prepare myself and wanted to know.
-
Kind of embarrassing to admit but I did find it quite scary - I didn't go on it for ages because I like to see a ride before I go on and didn't know what to expect I would love to know what happens on ROTD - I read spoilers about ghost train before riding last year and still had a panic attack before hand - first ride I screamed a fair bit was fine on subsequent rerides - I know it's meant to be a secret but I don't mind spoilers especially if it helps me to mentally prepare for something

Back in 2014 I reluctantly bought fast track for Colossus because it was so busy and I'd hardly been on any rides - was at least a 45 min queue which was frustrating - but the main queue was well over 90 mins so in that respect it halved the queuing time. As for security - understandable that they have it in place but it sure slows things down - would be great if they had more security points to speed up the process. Last Friday I went to CWOA in the morning and Thorpe in the afternoon - bag check at Chessie was pretty thorough but not so much at Thorpe. But at TP they have those scanner things you walk through but not at CWOA (that I noticed, or went through)

I got mine at the end of last season and they are still a decent price (I think around £3ish) - yeah they do a good selection - I want more but I have a silly about of theme park keyrings!
-
Omg FLIPPER!!!! So Lego and Towers done away with Starbucks? Damn I personally prefer Starbucks and often refer to costa Coffee as "Costa fortune" but with discount it's not bad - also yummy - actually I think I prefer Costa - I've just confused myself dammit
-
I have been meaning to ask this same question - I absolutely love that music!
-
I agree with the others - A all the way
-
I read that some people were stuck on the sky ride yesterday for 30 minutes - I would probably have a full on panic attack if that happened to me- it's the scariest thing there and the only reason I go on it is sheer laziness!
-
Do you mean the doll keyrings or something else? I have a Samurai doll keyring thing-
-
@Ryan @paige @StevenVig Myself and Roodie can't make this meet anymore so that should will free up some space - have a fab meet everyone
-
It's looking increasingly unlikely that I will be able to make this meet now - lack of funds due to having 2 cats vaccinated last week - awaiting some bingo winnings so if they go in I'll do my best to get there. If I can't then hope everyone has a fab time!
-
Awful news Thoughts with everyone involved and to the families of the deceased
-
Yup - full 20% which is nice Also - they sell iced coffee
-
It looks so awful and dont get me started on the bleedin fences
-
Yay for coffee - I'm such a caffeine addict and generally find Thorpes coffees to be nice - only complaint is they need to sell iced coffee - that stuff is the best
-
Oh give it time - I'm sure she'll crop up somewhere

Not sure if you are the only newbie but you won't feel like a newbie for long! I had a 3 year break from meets due to personal reasons and was so nervous about seeing everyone again and meeting new people at last years fright nights meet - it was one of the best things I did and I loved it. There was another member who came along who was new to meets who was very nervous aswell but really enjoyed it and has been to all the following meets. You will be made to feel very welcome and also I love that there is no pressure for people to go on rides they don't want - I always spectate the members on Detonator as that things scares me immensely - heck I use to not be able to go on Mr Monkeys banana ride!

I was SO nervous when I went to my first meet (actually took anxiety meds) but I really didn't need to - I'm sure you will fit in really well - after all, we all have the same interests - plus queuing is a great time to get to know other members - everyone is really friendly and people understand it can be nerve wracking at first. I've made some fab friends through the meets and had great times
-
You've never been before??! You missed the good ol' days but worry not because.....Gruffalo!
-
Ah Hex is brilliant and I really missed it last year so glad to hear it's back this season. Although I did feel like a prize plonker when I first went on it - I just assumed it was a nice sit down then I got confused with the bars coming down - then I felt a tad sick - love it though!
-
hope I'm not too late but myself and Roodie would like to join y'all for the meal if possible @Ryan @paige
