Posted May 21, 201312 yr comment_159269 So I decided I wanted to go to Thorpe Park on the 25th May because of exams I wanted some stress relief. I wanted to invite some TPM guys along and currently the people who are going are:EC! (Me of course ) Flipper (and his friend Rich(I'm not sure if he is a member)0 Han30 Jackstevens217 JamesC Mr.FishMatt CreekMerPhill Pritchard (until 14:00 cos he's going to a party at 15:00)Thrillseekeralex (unless he gets smashed the night before )ScarycoasterboyStyles ( Yay his (well sort of) first meet) Maybe:MarkCIt's gonna be the whole day 10:00 till 18:00 and I have a nice little but hard competition Lined up with a pressure for the winner and a forfeit for the first one out. If anybody else wants to go PM me (EC!) I know it's short notice but hay ho. I will be a great day and it will be where members do trip reports of ourselfs looking like idiots I need to get my first MAP when I arrive so I might be a tad late It's looking sunny so it will be fun Edited May 31, 201312 yr by Peaj Taken out TPM TPMM out of the title as this trip was not run by TPM
May 21, 201312 yr comment_159273 I'd just like to point out that I came up with the name TPM TPMM (Thorpe Park Mania Thorpe Park Mini Meet). Don't want credit going where it isn't due I am looking forward to it though, is going to be a great way to start the May half term (and make me less jealous of the many people riding The Smiler this weekend )
May 21, 201312 yr comment_159276 Hope you guys have fun! I won't be going due to financial restrictions - train fare plus my railcard has expired so it will cost even more! But this should *hopefully* allow me to attend the Legoland meet And lol at ThrillSeekerAlex getting smashed the night before Reminds me of when I went to Thorpe hungover once and we did Detonator first, followed by Inferno Felt rather sick on Inferno (and Marc was next to me panicking that I would throw up on him)!
May 22, 201312 yr comment_159339 Haha Well at least you don't have to worry about a new-already-delayed-now-even-more-delayed-coaster possibly not being open Also, if my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88mph - oops, I meant, I may be able to attend after all Plus you'd then have an even number so nobody has to be a larry on the rides
May 22, 201312 yr comment_159342 I will be getting smashed the day before, starting from 11am. There is no doubt about it considering it's my uni's Drink the Bar Dry event But I'm 90% sure I'll be there
May 22, 201312 yr comment_159343 Hopefully however I will be sleeping in a cardboard box the night before. Hobo's R Us
May 22, 201312 yr Author comment_159346 Coolio, u gotta let me know soon cos it does happen on Saturday .
May 22, 201312 yr comment_159354 That's what I thought! Maybe he meant PM? Good luck to your liver if it is 11am! Storm In A Teacup first thing?
May 23, 201312 yr comment_159358 Hope you have a great day to get some fun time away from all those exams - I would attend but out the country - I expect lots if pictures!
May 23, 201312 yr Author comment_159361 Haha lol I'm sure we will page in return we want tonnes of pic of you in DLP!
May 23, 201312 yr comment_159364 I doubt it would be 11pm - you shouldn't be starting drinking then, you should already be drunk
May 23, 201312 yr Author comment_159365 9 people, coming ooooh this is going well already for a mini meet
May 23, 201312 yr comment_159370 Hey peeps, it's been a long while to get a decision but I'm going!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 23, 201312 yr comment_159374 Wow, this looks to be a great mini meet. All we need now is Peaj and then it could be an official meet.
May 23, 201312 yr comment_159375 Hehe, it is looking like it will be a great meet, also I will get to meet brother Jack Jack and Mummy Mer!
May 24, 201312 yr comment_159406 To make a meet official doesn't mean I need to be there you know - it just needs an official announcement through the team and get it planned via the process you already know. Meets don't evolve around myself you know
May 25, 201312 yr comment_159444 Just come back from my trip. Another great day at the park, really enjoyed myself on all the rides ( except when I was almost sick on Samurai after eating too much chocolate). The park for a bank holiday weekend wasn't too busy and the longest queue being backwards on the Swarm 30 mins.It was great meeting new members such as Styles who was very friendly and helpful on the visit as well as meeting with the many other wonderful members who I met at the Chessington trip.Overall another fantastic trip and thoroughly enjoyed it, a trip report will follow soon highlighting the adventures of this TPM mini meet. I can't wait to meet everyone again in the June meet.
May 25, 201312 yr Author comment_159447 Yes today was awesome, I thank you all who wait for making this special for me, and I got on the parks rollercoasters 10 times so I was a happy bunny
May 25, 201312 yr comment_159451 Really good meet, thoroughly enjoyed myself and seeing everyone again, hopefully see you all (and some new faces) soon
May 25, 201312 yr comment_159457 Had a great day yesterday as it's now Sunday (7 day's till my BDay ) But I did not fully enjoy my first ride on Samurai too much as I got a bit of Styles puke on me Can't wait till the June and July meets, which I will be attending (I don't ask my parents, I tell them that I'm going )
May 26, 201312 yr comment_159462 It's time for me to begin my trip report with part 1 of 2! It was a beautiful sunny morning as I headed to this place called Thorpe Park. Surprisingly, the weather stayed this way all day! We entered and headed straight to Inferno. I am really developing a new love for this ride as the back row was amazing yesterday (more so than usual). Everyone got a second go except me and Phil as we thought that not everyone was staying on and not all the seats were taken, then we realised there were 2 empty seats on the front row After this we did Slammer which was new for so a few people so well done Matt and James for taking on the worlds only sky swat! Saw followed which was seemingly smooth on the left side of our car but not the right. Then the power of 10 whilst it still holds on to the most inversions of any ride in the world that is operating Now the photo part begins... Alex, Fish, James and EC are amazed at this giant playground swing! Alex, James and Mer get ready to brave it backwards whilst Styles isn't so sure. Meanwhile Matt is looking concerned for his first backwards ride and Jack is confused where he is. He was devastated when he realised Smiler wasn't at Thorpe EC and Phil enjoy the front right on The Swarm though even after destroying a billboard. And EC's legs at the top (they really are). Phil does his bit to save the world... And his burst of strength continues when he realises X is open Some of us need an energy boost after all that running so delve into Han's bag of goodies. In part 2 we shall meet George and see who has braved the mighty Samurai...
