TPM Blackpool Weekend Fri 5th April - Sun 7th April 19
Stuntman707 replied to Mattgwise's topic in TPM 2019 Meets
Good to have the dates now thanks. I will make some plans, until then put me down as definately maybe! -
Should be free, Sunday bowling deal sounds good. I know there's a Beefeater and Frankie & Benny's close by, don't mind.
-
The steelwork was put in to stop the creature from escaping. The army came in and did all that. You see the General Public don't recognise the story, they just think it's a ride.

Did the Top Scan for the first time yesterday. Really enjoyed it actually, was very different to what I expected when you watch it. Said goodbye with a back seat ride on Olypia Looping. It was so forceful I had to push up to stop the restraints crippling me. Hangover was fun to watch. Also went on Wilde Maus XXL, the only other coaster worth doing IMO.
-
It's quite good, spent an hour on it today. I was struggling with getting the two stations to work on Space Mountain though.
-
It looks like it will a US Route 66 style theme from the new map. I've never been myself however it's worth keeping an eye on as they seem to be doing very well at the moment.
-
Yes it is the best and my personal no.1 rollercoaster.
-
Ah, I didn't realise that's what the track looks like unpainted.
-
We're talking about Merlin who let Nemesis be exposed to the elements at Towers for 21 years before repainting it. I'm sure it would fit right in if Merlin got it back into working order at the minimum.
-
If the paint was stripped off during washing, looks like the paint was already flaking. It's clearly been rusting. Anyone else would think its an abandoned SBNO ride from that photo.
-
You can't judge performance on queue times. When I visited, the Big one had a longer queue as it was taking longer to dispatch. Icon was a shorter wait but the queue was moving way quicker.
-
Or a pair of second hand frog hoppers. ?
-
The problem with BPB is they dont have any spare land to expand into. The bowladrome was an eye sore which doesn't have as much historical importance. Its clearly paving the way to build on Icon's success. It would be great to see another Mack attraction which I think is highly likely considering the good relationship between the Mack and Thompson families.

I don't know about stalling but it did get stuck on the brake run a lot this year.
-
Would be nice to do a Tulley's meet alongside Fright Nights late September / early October.
-
I hope next year has as many ups and downs as this year. Preferably more ups but we still care really. Favourite quote of the year: "It's better than Nothing" - Alton Towers 2018
-
Looks like the same kids that run Thorpes corporate account are also on BPBs! Making accidental posts and messing with / enraging enthusiasts (aka your most loyal guests). It's seems both parks are as bad as each other on social media. If you're going to be on Twitter at least be helpful and not make totally contradicting, mocking or clueless posts.
-
PlanCo just dropped this teaser. Chairlifts are comming! ?
-
Yes
-
New for 2019 - Rameses Sweep.
-
Thorpe's Loggers tweet was such a dumb thing to do. Every single update they post now contains nothing but comments from people asking about Loggers Leap.
-
Another winter update which is nice to see. STOP THE PRESS - NEW GRASS FOR 2019 CONFIRMED. But on a serious note, it is great to see some attention being put back into the presentation park. The new turf looks much better.
-
Would/have Merlin ever considered buying a custom Mack coaster? That's what I want to know.
-
If Merlin wants Thorpe to be a resort, it needs a permanent hotel.
