The Smiler
,'Alton Towers is maintaining that its new rollercoaster will be open for the start of the park’s main season on 16 March. Confusion arose earlier today when a countdown to the ride’s opening was removed from its promotional page on the theme park’s website. However, staff taking advanced bookings for the theme park are advising guests that the ride “will be open” on the first day of the season, which has been set at 16 March this year. Rumours of construction delays have dogged the project since late last year, but it is understood that contractors are still confident of achieving the ride’s handover in time. A request to extend permitted construction working hours was granted by the local authorities after wet weather delayed the building of the ride’s foundations last year. The later than usual commencement of a marketing programme has also fuelled suspicion of delays with the rollercoaster, which will be a new variant of the Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter.'' - TAKEN FROM RIDE RATER

2013 Changes
Honestly, I don't think Thorpe will be getting anything in 2013 and shouldn't get anything for 2013. They just got Swarm, a massive investment and I think it would be smart just to continue advertising that it's the new ride throughout 2013 like how Knott's advertised Pony Express as the new ride for multiple years. However am I right in saying that according to the MTDP that there will be a medium instalment this year: 2009 - Saw The Ride (Major investment) 2010 - Saw Alive (Medium investment) rethemed Thorpe Bell. 2011 - Storm Surge (Small investment) relocated from Cypress Gardens 2012 - The Swarm (Major investment) 2013 - New Flat Ride (Medium investment) So this may suggest that there is a new ride coming next year? It all seemed to be pointing that way when the old Jungle Sufari was being fenced off but after no development through the season, it seemed like that theory was no longer possible! Going back a bit now, when the swarm was released the original plans were to have a follow up ride coming in 2013 and after the now succes of Nemesis Sub Terra, rumours began that we would be seeing a N:ST style ride making its way to thorpe park! But then, in the summer, The London Dungeons submitted plans for it to be relocated to near the London Eye however, theese plans did not include vengeance the recently opened 5D ride!So once again rumours began that the ride will be relocated to thorpe park. But then after many posts of debate, it came to the conclusion that it was not being relocated due to the low throughput and the unreliability! So what is coming in 2013? Personally, I hope that the following things will be done: 1) Colossus Repainted 2) Saw Alive Reopened 3) Storm Surge Station rebuilt and more scenery added 4) X://No Way Out re themed and the queue line to be indoors 5) General clean up on most rides So, I think that there will not be a new ride coming next year but hopefully, Thorpe park will respect the ones they already have!

What Do You Want/Expect From A TPM Trip?
As many of you know I'm quite young! Although I do like thrills and you guys are awesome, I will find it very awkward being with a group of people 6+ years that me! Is there anyway we can allow friends to come to the meet?

The Crash Pad
Very much off topic but have you seen how much shipping containers cost to buy!?! Take this one on eBay for an example: http://www.ebay.com/sch/Shipping-Containers-/92079/I.html Anyway I wonder If Thorpe Park have payed the cost of the snooze boxes in advance or are paying a certain percentage of profit?

CHRISTMAS!
And once again... It's the Christmas Season Every year people celebrate it in different ways. For people like myself and Dan9, it's to catch up on family! However what is the true meaning of Christmas? Many people believe that it's all about Jesus' birth however that is starting to get forgotten. And darn right it should be! I myself am a catholic however for me the real point of Christmas is to be Mer-ry (stolen from Mer who I must admit is looking rather pretty in that photo ) So this Christmas guys, remember to be merry cos it might be your last Christmas So Merry Christmas to all ye wonderful people PS. If you believe I'm ever flirting with you... I most probably am Hello Mer.
