Managed to pull

Some strings and get it off a me and Stacey can come now. If there are two others who want to save with a family ticket for drayton let me know.

Isn't Sunday the 21st Father's Day... Uh.

Yes.

I won't be making this I'm afraid, as On top of father day, I'm working 2x Sunday & have a party on the Saturday.

Have fun guys

Don't think I will be either I'm afraid! 

Shame Alex and Matt. Looks like it'll be another lads weekend with some drinks and food in the evening Peaj and Fish

Professor Drunk will be there in spirit (I'll be drinking in Watford that evening after all)

Have requested the weekend off, if I can get it off then I will be attending!

Requested the weekend off

If ive got enough money left after my holiday I'm sure ill be there for both days

Me and J.S217 will be leaving for Towers on the Friday morning to get up there for 10am so we can have two days at Towers. If anyone wants a lift from the Thorpeish area and is able to leave at about 7am the Friday morning just message me

There is a possibility I may now be able to join you, but only up to the Saturday,

However this depends on:

1/ I can get a lift (at least on the way there), I can do early Friday (if you want) and would be willing to meet part of the way if you prefer (e.g M40 beacons field services)

2/ can crash in a travelodge

So turns out I'm actually at Towers that day anyway, so might bump into you lot, I'm sure I'll recognise you from your group photos aha!

Cannot wait for this. Also heard reports Alton was dead this past weekend due to what's happened maybe we'll not have many queues this weekend either. Not sure about Drayton as I've heard reports Flamingoland and other parks are suffering due to people doubting ride safety.

If anyone wants a lift from Newcastle or Stoke Station to Towers, give me a pm. Unfortunately I wont be joining you all for Dreyton though, sorry.

Re: How Busy

Alton was walk-on for all rides this weekend (even Rita). (seemed about 5000 people on park). Because X sector was closed, anyone with an actual ticket was given a come back another day ticket to be used for the rest of the season. -EDIT- "Alton was walk on for all thrill rides, CBBies was stil queue-y"

Blackpool, the weekend before was about normally busy.

Can't wait for this! Will be a fun weekend, great to see everyone and a much-needed break!

And Blivvy is back!

Ok, the results of my planning are in and just like the original haunted house application, the plan has been refused

Unfortunately home authorities have stated my plans as impractical due to work Sunday and on top of the party on Saturday, there are further complications until now I wasn't aware of.

Enjoy oblivion guys

See you at MOS

Oh blimey, I keep forgetting about Drayton/having to actually pay for it

Is there anyone left who I can get the family rate thingy with?

LG95 and I are still needing tickets. Including you Mer, we just need one more person for the family rate.

Welp sorry we missed you all, late exit from hotel + no contact number meant we could catch any of you, plus the weather was crap so we spent the morning riding air and nemesis over and over, seemed like a good idea at the time LOL

Hey Ian,

Will readily hold my hands up in that one, I should of PMd you my contact details but must admit, when I was running around last minute you slipped the radar this time round as I know you were with your family and would 'say hi if you spot us' so in my head everything was dealt with. Which wasn't as you would still need them just in case.

So please accept my apology on that one and hope they'll be another opportunity in the future.

(PM sent for future reference)

LOL no worries, we were far too tired after 2 days on site beforehand anyway to stay much past lunchtime, so we wouldn't have been much company anyway.

Thoroughly enjoyed the weekend. Shame it's over now, but we should definitely do more weekenders away especially with a big group makes for an all round good weekend, Park Day 1, evening meal and drinks, then park Day 2. I'll look into if I can make Oakwood.

Gutted I could t join you guys but sounds like a great time was had.

How was towers?

How does Drayton compare to other parks?

I'll be creaking back in for MOS (professor drunk might even make a brief appearance)

Was a great weekend. Think we definitely need to do more unofficial group weekenders the overall experience makes for a great weekend.
