  1. Well, it looks as if it's a yes defiantly now, I've just got to see train prices and times, if it's not possible to get a lift (thanks for offering Peaj if you're in the area ) it will be great to meet you all again, hopefully I will get to talk to you all properly!!!!!
  2. Okay, here is an official release of one of The Smiler soundtracks courtesy of Theme Park Collective. Am I the only one that finds it disturbing at the part where it says, "cut a smile into their face, gouge the joy out of them"!
  3. Hmmm, will have to check up on this one actually, due to my school going to Chessie on the 20th I think, so I will have a looksy and see if I am allowed to attend, if not I should be able to attend the MOS meet (Just remembered that I've got leavers mass on the 21st as well, so might be heading towards a no, but wil get back to you soon on that!)
  4. Happy Birthday Peaj, you are one of the best people that I've had the pleasure of meeting Can't wait till the next meet when I get to see you next, until then, take care!
  5. I'm glad that our school done courses in a year, I've only got 7 exams instead of however many there would be! Edit: I've been given my coursework results back for music and I'm on an 'A', but that could change after moderation (not expected to) just have to do the final exam (40%) and then that is what decides my grade, sir expects me to get an A overall and does not epect me to get below a B (which is what I need to do A-level)
  6. First exam is on monday and I am bricking it. Then my last one is on the 12th June, so in a short space of time I will have sat 7 exams
  7. Well the plans I really have is to go to Thorpe as much as I can (will be able to go loads after exams as I have my MAP and I don't have to go to school) also I plan to go to a lot of TPM meets, hopefully going to AT at the start of summer holidays or near the end (need to see about staying at my cousins). I'm more than likely going to Ireland for about 2 weeks in August (means that I miss results day but I will get them posted to my house). That's really all I can think if ATM, but I will keep you all updated when I can.

  20. Love the vid Han, I also love the bit about the banana being RideAddict I just cracked up then!
  21. This is a great Trip Report Mer, a bit longer than mine, but you forgot to mention that I did get told off by Ghozi when laughing during the part where they were saying about the cave
  22. (Sorry about my lengthy Trip Report just as it was my first meet I thought I would do a special one for the occasion, also I apologise if it is not the best TR, it is my first one ) On Sunday the 21st April 2013 there was a lingering sense of excitement as me and my parents were driving 50 miles to the place that is called, Chessington. As I got out of the car all I heard from the direction of the entrance was Peaj’s voice, it was like a beacon calling out. The first thing that I did as soon as the gates opened was to walk through the cattle-pen to collect my first ever MAP, as soon as I had that I was on my way to the meeting point of Hocus Pocus halls, as it was my first ever meet the nerves were building up, but as soon as I saw everyone’s faces I smiled and went to talk to everyone. As soon as I talked to people I felt really welcomed into the group, it was great, and I knew that I was going to have a great day from that point onwards. The first attraction that we went to was Hocus Pocus halls, it was great fun, although I do think that Han30 got a bit scared and screamed a bit when a blast of air came from nowhere We then headed off in the general direction of Mexicana, we waited for about a minute and then we were ready to enter Rattlesnake, in the car we had Peaj and Me in the front and then we had Matt Creek and Mer in the back, it was great fun and I think our car was the loudest After that we headed over for a relaxing sit down on Safari Skyway, it was great fun having a train full of newbies to the meet (Me, Matt Creek and ThrillseekerAlex) As I was on the ride I got a few calls and text’s from the later comers of the group (JackStevens217 and EC!) we headed to the main entrance to get Jack and then Peaj went off to Dragons Fury to save EC! From the wrath of the dragon. After that little fiasco we wasted no time on getting to the back of the park where our next ride was Tomb Blaster (6100 on my first time), I thought that there would be a few parts that made me jump, but apparently not so, I really enjoyed it, pleased with my score but am annoyed with Peaj for getting a score in the 10’s of thousands. After the ride on Tomb Blaster we decided that we would go and try the new ride that opened this year Zufari, the queue was saying 45 mins, but it was a lot shorter than that, if I say this ride has a lot of potential, the pre-show was entertaining for both the adults and the kiddes alike, the actual ride we got to see all the animals. The finale was a bit of a let-down but it is great fun to do with your friends. We then headed over to Rameses Revenge where we all went on, I must say I was a bit disappointed that the water jets just about reached my hair and that was it, but it boosted my inversion count so I am happy We then headed off to wild Asia where we decided to do Monkey Swinger which was great fun but I did get a bit dizzy after the ride We then decided to go over to Kobra, the queue line was taking for ever but we did sing happy birthday a few times to some people on the ride, after that we went to the dodgems where we had hatched a plan to all go for Peaj once we were on the ride, although he knew about it we still carried on and went for him. We calmed down for about 30 mins after that and split up and got some lunch, but as soon as we had finished it was onto the next ride. We decided to do bubbleworks to give our food a chance to go down, I really enjoyed it and got a bit wet in the finale room, although I almost got my camera wet But all was fine in the end and I got a few really good photos’ from on the ride, although Mer did look a bit like a demon in one of the photos’. We then headed over to Vampire where we had a bit of a wait, although we did have great fun in the queue line playing the game of the day, but I will not reveal that, that is down to Peaj, Vampire was running really well and felt less rough than it used to, they must have made some changes to the ride since I went in June last year. We then headed over to Black Buccaneer where when asked how our large group met we replied on TPM, they then said that there were 4 rules instead of the usual 3, the extra one was that if we were to post anything online that it must be good, so I will stick to that rule and say that the ride was great, we had great fun and everyone managed to hold in their lunch. The next ride of the day was Dragons Fury, due to the queue line being 45 mins we were expecting it to be the last ride of the day, the ride was great and we got the weight distribution perfect and got the best spin on the ride I have ever had. After getting off the ride we waited for EC! to get his ORP and had the last group photo of the day before JackStevens217 had to leave us. Suddenly we found ourselves sprinting across the park towards the last ride of the day Zufari, we had a great pre-show this time, I even got to do my monkey impression, also don’t laugh when Ghozi is telling you about the dangerous cave otherwise you will be told off After a great day at the park everyone left us apart from those that were going to the meal, although when me and Mr Fish left the park via the Explorer Gate, silly Mr Fish forgot where he parked the car, after a bit of walking round we finally got into the car and he gave me a lift to the Monkey Puzzle (Thanks Mr Fish) we sat down and had a great laugh at the meal, but then it was time for me to depart, so I left them to travel the 50 miles back home, what happened after I left them is un-known. I had a great day meeting everyone at my first meet, I can’t wait till the next one, will be great fun. Now without further ado the Chessington Meet Video
