That is twice I have ridden Storm In a Teacup with inversions - first time on my own Loved reading the trip report and it was a fantastic meet And that pic of Mr Fish......LOL Edit - also just to say a mahoosive thank you to Thorpe Park for the ERT event - it was brilliant! I doubt I will ever get the opportunity to ride Inferno 5 times in a row again. Looking forward to Thursday now

I have no idea.....But I wanna go on Manta

Me too Holly! Ah well I scored 9 - thought I was gonna get a bit fat zero

I never went on the dino boats - they look pretty cool! And I think I went to TP the year that Mr Monkeys banana ride opened and thought it was huge.

Ooh yeah, I would be interested to see where I went wrong (which was most of them)! I scored 9 - crap but I am actually happy with that as my knowledge is v limited, I did no revision and answered the questions in speedy time. Partaaaaaaay

Just submitted my answers - left quite a few of the answers blank as they were realllly difficult. with the others, I just guessed, so I suspect I will do crud on this

Loving the trip report so far - and the pics (except the ones with my face in them)! - That last photo is nice - and the added bonus of not only including everyone (well, most people - you should just pop a pic of yourself sat next to stretchy!), but also Swarm, Stealth and Tidal Wave in the background.

I love Thorpe but I HATE seeing planes in the sky - actually I hate looking up in the sky and my worst nightmare happened when I was going on Saw vertical lift hill and saw a plane OMG - bouncy slide

Lady Gaga Marmite or Bovril?

this year? - PAULTONS Chocolate or cheeeeeeeeeeeese?

So the dreaded is filling is all done? - You did well - I loathe having fillings done (having said that, I don't have much space for any more!) - and as I said to you before (and before I knew you were due to have a filling), I would much rather have a tooth removed Definitely clean your teeth for a bit longer if it means saving them - I think I've left mine too long - they are a complete state. Speaking of which - you said about filing your nails - I do that aswell - I have developed a bit of a nail file oddity and I never cut my nails but just file and shape them. Oh dear I am waffling! I hope that you are successful in getting a job - I know where you live has a lot of shops - well a lot compared to my cruddy town - good luck!

You are braver than me! - and ARRRGHHH PLANE!!! Erm......what the hell is that last picture??!

Likewise you will always find someone smelling of B.O. Poor ThrillseekerAlex is subjected to Han30's armpits Generally the smelly one's are always the one's who get drunk licking the walls on the way home. Oh dear.....people are gonna start thinking I am a weirdo It is totally normal to wear carrier bags on your head, shove your armpit in someones face and lick walls..... I love reading through the trip reports - really funny plus they bring back memories of great meets

Before this year, my top 10s would have been very easy to do, however, since riding 8 new coasters this year (first TP trip in yonks and first AT visit) this is gonna hurt my brain. 1. Nemesis (AT) - just.....wow is all I can say - amazing coaster 2. The Swarm (TP) - So comfy and I love the first drop 3. The Smiler/Saw (AT/TP) - There are bits of both rides that I love - the indoor section of Saw is superior to The Smiler (imo) but the smiler has brilliants qualities to it - so it's a tie for number 3. Both have potential to give you a massive headache but I can deal with a bit of pain 4. Oblivion (AT) - another B&M on the list - that drop = amazing 5. Space Mountain (DLP) - My first ever inverted coaster back in 2000 - although it gave me a huge headache after both times riding it, I have wanted to go back and ride it since then 6. Th13teen (AT) - Although I screamed through most of the ride, it is really enjoyable and proof that coasters do not need inversions to make them good 7. Nemesis Infero (TP) - My first B&M and have managed to conquer the dizziness (thanks to the ERT!) 8. Stealth (TP) - Does wonders for my anxiety levels!! I swore I would never ride it after my first go but have since caved in and do enjoy it 9. Vampire (CWOA) - First "proper"coaster and still enjoyable, even if a bit rough at times - although I miss the old bat cars 10. X (TP) - Much better now the trains go forwards as it means I can ride it - and it's nice to have a rave whilst whizzing around a pyramid in the dark with strobe lighting.....innit

Aww thanks Smidget - that's really nice what you typed! I still feel quite new hear despite joining 2 years go - I don't post a great deal on the forums because my knowledge is quite limited on rides/theme parks etc etc. But being accepted at the meets has been a huge step for my confidence (which is pretty low at the best of times) - I am a tad bit crazy but I do get a wee bit hyper when I go to theme parks - then when I do my idiot thang I quite like making people laugh - although I am not sure if they are laughing with me or at me. But hey, when you get to my age (you have years to go yet - lucky!) you learn that not everyone is going to get along and yeah I am waffling. I just hope I haven't annoyed anyone with my idiocy - it just comes naturally to me, like breathing!

OMG how adorable! Name - he looks like a Neville

haha - 3rd pic down - jack (in the background does not look impressed)! Loving the Flying Fish pics - also that last group pic is nice yeah I think detonator is fun.....once it is over! - the times I have been on it I have almost been in tears right before. That and, once it starts going up the tower is about the point where I want to get off - then at the top - you know there is only one way you are getting off that ride I am quite a wuss though - have only ridden it 3 times and that is when I have felt VERY brave Edit: Totally went off topic there

That is brilliant - next time I go, I'm gonna sit on that boat that goes around the sealions.......ALL DAY

James - I hope you can make it to the Stealth thang! Pluk - yeah, anxiety is pretty extreme - had my first panic attack in 2000 and was literally housebound for 12 weeks and it took a full year before I was able to go out on my own afterwards - ironically, a trip to thorpe park in 2001 was a massive step for me as it was the furthest I had been from home since the anxiety started. I go into *idiot mode* at times a lot if I am really anxious and will be a bit of a loon (like puddling jumping) or, at theme parks I get a tad hyper sometimes

Alton is amazing - and Ricky, your comment made no sense?! doghouse?!!

SS needs a damned good clean - and I want to do it

I want ice cream.......minty chocky chip......I have no ice cream where is Mr Whippy when ya need him?

Oh dear.....bag on the head

According to this article, it says that it was Nemesis Inferno that was the life saver - although take into consideration it IS the Daily Mail! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2155276/Student-20-hours-death-developing-huge-brain-tumour-survives-thanks-ROLLERCOASTER-RIDE.html

Oooh I *think* I can get Quest on Freeview - if not I am gonna throw a tantrum and cry (or get my sister to record it for me). There just isn't enough coaster programs on the telly! Though I have seen a few programmes on a random channel about coasters a while back but I've forgotten the name of the show - it was America based though but was really interesting and I remember on one of the shows they were discussing launched coasters and showed how they work - tres interesting
