**AWARDS ARE NOW CLOSED, RESULTS TO BE RELEASED SOON** Another year another season, and that means another TPM forum awards! After the success of previous years, we will keep much the same format although we’ve gone high tech by using SurveyMonkey! Due to our new(ish) awards badges we will make sure people can treasure their awards forever and have them on display for everyone to see! These are the award categories PARK AWARDS • Best UK Park • Best International Park • Best UK Coaster • Best International Coaster • Best UK Flat Ride • Best UK Water Ride • Best UK Dark Ride • Best New Attraction for 2014 • Best Themed UK Experience • Best Themed International Experience • Worst UK Ride • Most Uncomfortable Ride • Most Disappointing Merlin Moment in 2014 • Best looking New Attraction for 2015 • Best Manufacturer In the case of international parks and coasters we realise that some members may not have ridden many international coasters or been to many international parks. If this is the case for you, feel free to vote for a park you would love to visit or a coaster you would love to ride. FORUM AWARDS • Best Member • Best Administrator • Best Moderator • Most Knowledgeable Member • Funniest Member • Biggest Fanboy/girl • Sexiest Male • Sexiest Female • Best New Member • Best Quality Posts • Most Dedicated • Most Sarcastic Member • Best Official TPM Meet • Storm Surge Award • Most Likely To Be Banned In 2015 For the new member nominees, they need to have signed up after January 1st, 2014 – Here's a link The Storm Surge Award - Vote for the member who you think reminds you of Storm Surge or should be awarded a Storm Surge for their efforts in TPM. VOTING We have moved up in the world and now I’ve opted to use SurveyMonkey instead of having to manually collate all the awards Remember to only put one thing for each answer and make it clear who/what it is; please use forum names and not real names You do not need to vote for every category if you don’t want to EDIT - NOW CLOSED Voting closes on 20th December 2014 at 8pm. Votes after 20th December 2014 at 8pm will not be counted. PM me (Tommy) if you send your survey in more than once

With all the extreme conflict going on within a certain topic (this closed season), I thought now round be a good time to do this list of 25 experiences which I believe are better than riding on Storm Surge. Yes I know it's Colossus you first notice, but it's definitely in the picture. Anyways, here goes. 1/ riding Saw the ride with a hangover 2/ getting too drunk On a special ocassion (and regretting it the next day 3/ not getting a ride on Searm or inferno all day 4/ queuing 3 hours for Colossus in the rain 5/ bothering with Rita 6/ being stuck on a ride breakdown 7/ having your Chessington trip cancelled last minute 8/ being called bad 9/ the closed season 10/ watching the X factor or Big Brother 11/ getting drunk far away and talking crazy like Sausage & Mash 12/ getting told off by security guards for no reason 13/ having no internet for several days 14/ walking through a scare maze with rowdy kids 15/ finding out you have a deadline the next day and you haven't started the work 16/ the moment your phone's battery dies and you won't be able to charge it for hours 17/ queueing to leave Legoland on a peak day 18/ riding train 4 on the Smiler 4 times in a row 19/ standing in an overcrowded tube train 20/ sitting on a park bench for a very long time 21/ getting no sleep before an early start 22/ not going to Disneyland 23/ riding Tidal Wave twice in freezing conditions 24/ having a printer that packs up 25/ paying for parking at merlin parks
