They stopped the Waltzers for Dean, but I was the one who was a collapsing mess afterwards hahahaha!!

The votes have indeed closed. I did literally close them at 9pm last night, however I haven't had the opportunity to make any sort of post confirming everything as I've been running around trying to organise the final details for the Adventure Island meet next week (plug) as well as honouring other commitments I have and trying to revise for the unholy number of exams that've started today for me, so apologies! So I can confirm that the meet will be taking place on Saturday, 25th March 2017, and for those who will be after a bite to eat and a chat afterwards, we shall be heading to Pizza Hut, which I believe is in Staines centre. and of course, Ryan and I aren't ones to be wanting to break any tradition, so there will be some spooning (minimal violence this year though pls) If you can definitely attend this meet, and would like to hang about for the meal (and creams!), please do let myself or Ryan know SEE YOU IN MARCH XOXO

With regards to the meal, I have decided to take us all to Pizza Express instead. This is because this was the second most popular vote, and a number of people mentioned not wanting to visit the original winner, so I shall be booking us a table this weekend. I am assuming that everyone who is attending the meet WILL be attending the meal, so if you have no intentions on going to the meal, please let me know by Saturday! Thanks

Don't book anything yourself just yet, I am trying to sort something out for everyone, you will all know by Wednesday evening what the situation is, but you will not be paying the full price either way with any luck, but there is no kind of set time limit on when you will and won't get the online price incase all else fails! I'll drop you a pm as soon as I know what's happening wristband wise, which will be some time after 6pm Wednesday), that goes for everyone else who doesn't have facebook but is going to or shown an interest in the meet
-
There's only two weeks until this meet!! If you aren't coming and spontaneously decide that you're totally up for this, you're more than welcome just get in touch with me so I can know you'll be popping along
-
I do plan on looking into/sorting that closer to the time when I set up a group chat, just so everyone will know what's happening at once!
-
I'm glad you can both make it after our chat the other day! See you on Time Machine Han
-
Sorry if the restaurant choices aren't up to everyone's liking- as you all know I do not live local to the park at all so I used the internet/what other people suggested. I am sure it'll be lovely either way!

Hello my fellow keen beans, At long last, I am here to start the topic for the Thorpe Park Open Season Meet 2017! The provisional date for this meet is currently Saturday, 25th March 2017, however you may vote otherwise if you wish, unfortunately the dates aren't especially flexible this time round simply because this is the first and only 'normal' weekend in March, so apologies for that! You will have two weeks to place your votes, and the polls will close on Thursday, 2nd February at 9pm! Should you decide to come out with us to the Island Like No Other, this is what we could be doing... 09:30- meet in the usual place by the AP entrance/cash machine, so we can promptly enter the park for 10 10:00 onwards- we will just be dithering about the park, going on what people want to ride until people get peckish (or hangry) 13:00-13:30- it'll be time for lunch! the group may split to go and have whatever tickles their fancy, or we might all fancy the same thing which would work out nicely 14:00/14:30 - park close- we'll all go back to getting on those rides until it's time to head off for the post-meet social! like we've done with the previous couple of meets, where we eat is all down to you forum lot, and there's always room for creams... I know that there will be a fair few rides that people won't want to/can't do (I am a veteran at scoping out benches myself by now!), you will of course be able to go off and do your own thing whilst you wait, but try to make sure you don't lose the group entirely There will again be no specific 'extra' meet points throughout the day for the sake of ease and simplicity so those latecomers can come to the group, as Ryan and I will both be running this meet I am sure either one of us would be able to come and fetch you if you're a bit lost! but remember, if you are late you will be left behind! If you are up for this meet, feel free to contact myself or @Ryan to let us know, and feel free to leave any comments or suggestions below! Hope to see you there ***** Who's coming?? CWOAFanMalcolm (might be working, definitely coming for meal) (plus meal) Daniel.S312 (plus meal) David B (plus meal) Doc (plus meal) Felicity (plus meal) Joestar Marc (plus meal) Martin C (plus meal) Martin Doyle Matt Creek (meal only) mattgwise Mer (plus meal) Mitchada04 (plus meal) Paige (plus meal) he who shall not be named (plus meal) Ryan (plus meal) StevenVig Stuntman707 (plus meal) special guest (plus meal) terrortomb (plus meal) Weronika (plus meal) total: 19

(soz for double post) I contacted Adventure Island the other day in the hope of securing some kind of deal in terms of tickets, and in order for them to look into anything they need exact numbers. I know it's a month away but if you actually know that you will definitely be attending can you please get in touch with me either through this very forum or whatever social media you might have me on that'll suit you best. Please don't assume that I just know you're coming because you might have voted for the date that has won or something! If no one seems to get back to me then I will start chasing people but if you can't confirm to me within the next week then you're potentially missing out on a deal with tickets! Thanks

We have no intention to scrap the summer Towers weekend altogether as that has proven to be a popular meet, however it more than likely will involve a day at Drayton as it will have been two years since that last happened. For those mentioning other parks, the Oakwood weekender in August can be moved elsewhere if people wish, I have heard that people have wanted to do Lightwaver Valley and Flamingo Land, so that could be a possibility. If anyone does have any ideas or suggestions for where they might like to go August time please do let me know as I'll be taking that meet because I'm leaving poor Ryan to lug you lot to Port Aventura in September! Also Matt- feel free to arrange your own non-forum trip to Europa, but that won't be happening this year
-
I'd advise not to book anything for the time being, I'll update you all when I know more!
-
The polls are now closed! I can confirm that this meet will be taking place on Sunday, 12th February as voted for by you, and for those who want to hang about for the meal afterwards, we will be eating at Maya's World Buffet. Please leave a post here or get in touch with me to confirm your attendance, thanks

As the entire world and it's mother and pet cat probably know, Ed Sheeran has made a comeback after a year off. I'm not a particular fan of his and I don't exactly go out of my way to listen to his music as I found his early stuff especially wasn't my cup of tea, but I'd like to just mention a couple of his new songs here. I just think that they just possess such a level of energy that I really enjoy in a song so here you go lads
-
We do plan on setting up the topic/votes for the open meet very soon, we haven't forgotten about it and we're trying our best to be considerate without chucking loads of information at you.
-
Fixed your post too

Like pluk it doesn't matter which way around the M25 we go by car as I'm basically opposite Thorpe in that respect, but it can take less than an hour and a half with reasonable traffic or two hellish hours on the train including waiting for my connection in Waterloo... and it's normally the latter as I won't be driving anytime soon because I'm a whuss

I'm sure you all saw this coming... It is with some degree of pleasure that I invite you, the lovely people of TPM, to come on over to my home county for the official 2017 Adventure Island meet! It's coming up to two years since the last one which was a lovely time, and I am sure this time will be no different. This will be taking place on Sunday, 12th February, as voted by you forum lot! Should you decide you're up for this, here's what the day could look like: -meet by the Rage lift hill between 10 and 10:30, in this time people can be buying/collecting their wristbands from the nearby ticket office -from 10:30 onwards, we will be going around riding what people wish to ride -at some point around 1-1:30/whenever people are peckish people can go off for a bite to eat for an hour before getting back to those rides (maybe not Time Machine just after lunch though) -after park close, we shall head off for our evening meal/social, which will be at Maya's World Buffet -once everyone has all fed on some (hopefully) yummy food, a few people may wish to visit Creams for some dessert, I know I most certainly will! As you may have noticed, I haven't outlined any other specific meet points during the day for any latecomers. This is simply because Adventure Island is a relatively small park so it would be fairly easy for people to pop along rather than taking the entire group to specific points for specific times, but remember if you are late you will be left behind- especially you, Peaj! So place your votes, have your say, and if you have any questions, comments, ideas or suggestions please let me know; and mention it here or in a PM to me if you're looking to attend Here's some potentially useful links Adventure Island: http://adventureisland.co.uk/ Maya's World Buffet Southend: http://mayasrestaurant.co.uk/menus/world-buffut-menu/ Creams Southend: http://creamscafe.com/menu.php ***** Who's Coming?? 'Airtime Falcon' Doc Felicity Han30 J.S217 Marc mattgwise (maybe) Mitchada04 Mr.Fish mrmonkey Paige pluk he who shall not be named Roodie Ryan total: 14
