Chessington Empire Strikes Back Meet 16th April 2016
Matt 236 replied to AJ 's topic in TPM 2016 Meets
I'm disgustingly upset you couldn't make it either as it has broken our traditional meet anniversary, which like the ride that started our friendship skyway is gone. Happy recovery though.Anyway, that still didn't ruin a fantastic day. Chessington meets in the past have proved highly enjoyable and was great seeing familiar faces again amongst a few new ones. I had a short but successful domination in empires before becoming Peaj's first victim eventually resulting in Adam winning. Creaky trip vlog on the way soon which could be my most flamboyant yet! -
So, which political party do you tend to vote for? Matt Creek Party, because, er I'm in it. Which politicians really annoy you? Those that don't condone fun, theme parks and shows. Matt Creek party condones fun stuff What are your opinions on the EU referendum? We need to build a direct train service from the UK to Europa Park. With possible future routes to Efteling, Disneyland Paris and Port Aventura. What do you think about Osborne's budget? I have absolutely no idea how much he spends shopping, I am sorry!

That's the first I've heard from it. Looks a fine ride and am sure it'll beat Silver Star.
-
Show, it just like the word that is all. Fireworks or Water jets?
-
Arrow suspended, I hear they are crazy in a good way despite having a floor . Atlantica Super Splash or Posiden?
-
Latest construction update on Symbolica, which at 35 million euros is apparently the park's most expensive attraction to date. One wall already in place. Safe to say the ride's footprint is much larger than I was expecting. That's assuming it occupies most of the currently empty site pictured. Look forward to seeing the end result on this one.

Has certainly been an exciting day for ride tesiting so far. Mako looks great so far.

Really enjoy your write ups Ben. I've always heard generally good things about Tripsdrill despite knowing little about it and I think your write up summarises it well. Judging from what's been said it reminds me a little of a smaller Efteling [on the nature side of things] in some ways. It's definitely a park I would like to see one day [likely once I've ticked off all the main European parks].

Cheetahs never sleeping again or always feeling tired?
-
No one should be gunned down for liking Thirteen. If it was something like Storm Surge, Zufari, Grand Prix or Impissible though maybe not.
-
The dodgems were the best then. They were great.
-
Still, it's an improvement over anything on that scale before throughput wise. For a park like Walibi Belgium (which I don't think is one of the top visited parks) it will be fine. I'm sure it'll still be better than almost all Chessington's throughputs too.
-
Island Like No Other, never liked the big heads. Beano Land or Wild Asia?
-
I would like to see the park offer more themed areas and experiences. Firstly, that Go Kart track needs to go as it looks remarkably out of place and is a good land chunk. This could make way for a decent family thrill coaster like Benin has mentioned. A small woodie like Heidi at Plopsaland would be great. I kno it may not happen, but it would suit the park so well. An updated flume and maybe a dark ride on some level would also be great and make the park an even better place to go.

Theme Park enthusiasts when the ride opens for the first time.
-
snooker, yah Chinese or Indian takeaway?
-
Thirteen is probably my second favourite coaster in the park. It's also likely my second favourite ride too [until Hex reopens anyay]. It features so much fun and thrill at the same time. I don't think there's any other coasters in the UK that can compromise an attraction to families and thriller seekers like Thirteen does.
-
I think this promotional video definitely confirms Paultons is now officially one of the leading parks in the UK. Lost Kingdom looks a fantastic area, which will hopefully be a massive success to them. A visit this year is definitely on the cards.

Lime, it likes the limelight these days ;] Pancakes or waffles?

I know where I'm heading when I go/afford Orlando Terrorrific move!

Alton Towers & Waterpark TPM Knockout Meet 25th - 26th June 2016
Matt 236 replied to AJ 's topic in TPM 2016 Meets
most/all of us will be doing the Newcastle Travelodge probably. -
Movies only, was more difficult than expected. Lift Hill Walk or behinds the scenes?
-
I found it rough on day one (summer 2009). There I said it!
-
I just like second opinions. I have a general idea on how it works out but want to ensure failure is avoided.

I'm looking at doing Phantasialand later this year with a couple of people for the first time. What's the best thing accomodation wise? Normally I tend to slum it on these trips [due to tight budgets], but the park's hotels look remarkably nice and cheap too. Would this be the best option even on a budget? What's the easiest/cheapest way to get to the park from Cologne transportwise, is it comparable to getting t Efteling? Will probably be a 1.5-2 day trip. What is the best/cheapest option for park tickets?
