AJ Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Good evening all of you wonderful people! I'm very excited to officially announce plans for our Blackpool TPM Trip With an Exclusive behind the Scenes with Scare Kingdoms Manormortis! The date of the event is the extended weekend of Friday 12th - Sunday 14th September 2014. As you can see it's an extended whole weekend! Which gives you a choice - come on the Friday, or the Saturday, or on the Sunday or a couple of the days or stay the whole weekend! I would imagine though the bulk of us will do Sat/Sun. Please take note if you plan to stay with us overnight, it will be your responsibility to book your own rooms and unfortunately if your under 18 we cannot help you with this! If you were to stay the night - under no circumstances will TPM get involved and take responsibility with how you stay overnight, as for the overnight section of the trip will be an over 18's event. We also owe a big thanks to Myk for getting this behind the scenes but we will also need to know if you are interested in attending for us to be able to take up on this offer as we will need 20 people! Plus this event will rely on you wonderful kind drivers or which your help will be much appreciated. But based on past success's I'm sure this will be no problem. A breakdown of what to expect of behind the scenes is shown below The Outline of the day/s will be as follows: On Saturday, Meet outside the entrance by Pasaje Del Terror at 08:30 am opposite the ticket gates to have a small social before the park opens, and then we will enter the park. Please bear in mind we will leave without you if you are late as it’s not fair on time keepers! As members have found out! If by any chance you happen to miss this meet point due to travel arrangements or just plain lateness you can either phone or text so we can arrange to meet . This first part of the morning we will make the most of the quiet park and churn out those rides. We will try our best to get on all the attractions. I know not everyone will want to do some of the rides at Blackpool Pleasure. If you decide to not come on please be polite and wait for everyone to come off and chat to other members whilst you are waiting. Or go off and do another attraction as long as you’ll be back after the group has finished riding the attraction. Please respect other people’s wishes who wish to ride certain things that you yourself may not be too keen with. During the day, around half 1, we will stop for a bite to eat where you can go and eat where you like and we will arrange where to meet after everyone has finished eating. (Who knows we might all want to eat the same thing anyway ) After lunch we will group together for the Official Group Photo for the meet and continue going round the park and riding the attractions people want to do until the park closes at 8. During the Evening we will relax and watch the Blackpool Illuminations. On the Sunday we will start on the Merlin Attractions meeting outside the Blackpool Tower at 09:45am. We will explore the Tower and during the day go to the Blackpool Madame Tussauds/ Sea Life & Dungeons just like our London Meets. During the afternoon we will have a little breather in the Blackpool Ballroom for a couple of drinks and if you are lucky me and my dance partner might go off and do some ballroom and latin on that famous floor whilst you socialise over drinks. For those who do go up on the Friday we will most likely go along the piers and arcades and try out the Waterpark and plus we will have our Tour of Manormortis at some point in the weekend. As it's quite a big event the way the weekend is run is subject to change but due to the distance I know you and I will be in regular correspondence so everyone knows what is happening. I will be handing out my phone number for everyone who is attending the meet that day, should there be any problems. We aim to stay together as a group for the day, going from one activity to the next, enjoying getting to know people you share very similar interests with, the idea is to just go with the flow and enjoy the day with some awesome people. There will be many photo’s in the day being taken and the possibility of a few video clips. Whilst we cannot force you to stay with the group, it is the general purpose of these meets! You will have my number (and some of the senior teams) if you become split so by all means use it. The meets are a fantastic laugh and everyone is invited, even if you have never posted before or been to any kind of meet at all. If it's your first meet, I understand it can be nerve breaking - but we were all there at one point so know how it feels, please don't let this stop you from attending - Once there you'll be part of the group in no time! Just look at the past trips this year! I will soon be posting up a separate post on possible accommodation locations which you can use to help you decide where to sleep (If your staying for the night.) If however you know where your going already by all means book it up when we confirm the dates this time next week. I know for example I will be staying at a nice B&B near the Tower, right in the centre of it all to enjoy the nightlife. Plus some really good deals on Laterooms.com Once again, everyone will have my phone number so please use it on the day If anyone has any issues or concerns or even nervous about coming, feel free to post here, or PM myself and I will get back to you as soon as possible. If you feel like my response is taking too long another member of the team will be more than happy to help. We will all try and help you out as much as we can. Please PM me or post here to say if you’re attending. If you are bringing a mate along with you, please also include who they are so they are not known as ‘Plus 1.’ The events with TPM have been fantastic this year and this one will be no different!

Matt 236 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 I will try and make this one as I've never been to Blackpool and this trip sounds very exciting. Should have a final answer shortly to confirm my attendance. Edit- would it be possible for lift (pretty please) from someone? I'll give you petrol money etc. as otherwise, I probably won't be able to go. kinnaird 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 I'll do my utmost to attend this meet! Costs and timing are a bit of a grey area for me at the moment, but given the large fore-warning, fingers crossed I can make this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mer Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 YES. This sounds amazing and has put a huge (and much needed!) smile on my face! Did I ever mention how much I love all the wonderful members here who drive and are lovely enough to give lifts? Shotgun a space in a car I'll buy the driver a drink at the bar too (on top of petrol money)! Seriously though, I am down as a yes, regardless of how I get there; I've been wanting to return to Blackpool for years and this whole weekend sounds too good to miss! Besides, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to have a selfie with Brucie at Madame Tussauds Liam T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pluk Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 This sounds pretty damn awesome. I'm not at work for this one, which is a start! Lots going on around then though, so put me on the maybe list for now please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawyer Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 This has been in the pipeline and planned to go ahead for about a month-2 months now with my mate at Scare Kingdom. Only problem is I've kept nagging Peaj to mention it, since Thorpe and think I mentioned it potentially back at Southend. Anyway, I thought he was putting it off and potentially not going to do it so I've announced it for my annual September meetup I hold every year. The meet page can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/events/231671700356263/?fref=ts As for the awesome perk, which really is awesome, it's £10 per head, 20 spaces and near Preston which is about 30 mins drive from Blackpool, and can stretch to 30 people if there's more interest.

Doc Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Been wanting to go to Blackpool since forever. Would technically love to do the whole extended weekend though with the overnight accommodation, the park itself, the tour and the Merlin attraction tickets, plus food, travel and evening activities, I don't think I would be able to afford it by a long shot. I also wouldn't be able to get up there unless someone would kindly be able to offer me a lift. I would happily pay for petrol money. Put me down as a maybe. I recon I could make it work.

Liam T Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Yes please!! Put me down for a maybe for the moment because between now and September, alot is happening but I've always wanted to go Blackpool! This looks awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddysLittlePrincess Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Yeah put me down for this and probably will bring someone up with me for Blackpool, will see what happens closer the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC! Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 I will be a maybe for this only because it is close to when I do PortAventura and I'm not 100% sure if I will have the money at the time, so I will have to see. But I will see and I'm a maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1hrisin Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 This sounds amazing, I'll be my first meet in a while (certainly my first meet out of Thorpe!) if I can get tickets and get up to Blackpool I will be coming! Could you put me as a maybe? How much would the tickets be? Approximately. J.S217 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stretchy Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Please put me down as a highly probable on this one. Myk mentioned it over on Towers Nerd and I think we may have a few takers from there too. More details to come. Sawyer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawyer Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 The long and short of this is, as it took Peaj a while to plan *not 100% his fault, he's a busy man, etc.* I thought he didn't want to do it and went ahead moving my annual September meetup (this is the 7th year) forward two weeks, and decided I'd use the perk for an AWW meetup. (Peaj then decided to announce this meetup two days later) Now AWW are doing BPB on the Saturday and Alton Towers on the Sunday (as it's on the way home) but for the perk, I'm willing to do a crossover with TPM but guys, you have to go on the events page for the AWW meetup to be kept in the loop on the perk at Scare Kingdom. I don't want anyone to miss out who wants to do the perk! Styles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretchy Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Myk - I am going to be uber thick here. What/who is AWW and where can I join/sign up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pognoi Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 It's a yes if I have the funds. (But if I do come I'll find a way to skip manormortis. I really don't like scare mazes.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
