MattyMoo Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 I'm only interested in the member awards, this kind of delay is typical of Merlin tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Interesting and unsurprising results. Nemy, Slammer, Valhalla all rightfully won best in their categories with Towers still holding the straws despite its rocky time. Derren Brown as best dark ride and themed uk experience is interesting, yet in contrary being the most disappointing Merlin moment and 2nd worst UK ride. It's no Storm Surge. Europa winning best international park and Helix as best coaster is no surprise and Phantasialand's presecence in the rewards says a lot and it's amazing just how close the greatness between Mack and B&M is now. Symbolica for best looking 2017 seems right, but Gruffalo2nd? Yes that seems accurate too. Merlin disappointing moments are best left not talked about as I'll probably dig myself a hole deeper than Klugheim. The suspension of member results is interesting and unexpected. Oh well.

Kerfuffle Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 So DBGT is best UK dark ride...and second worst UK ride. I'm very confused... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh3103 Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Very confusing results especially regarding DBGT which is the best UK dark ride and best themed UK experience but is the 2nd worst UK Ride Other than that it was mainly what I expected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Hey don't knock the results for DGBT. It's not they're fault it ended up being made of marmite... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThemeParkCrafter Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Always next year for an award for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Glad to see I've retained my sexiest male reward. Although I seem to have lost my previous other rewards after countless years. Marc and BaronC you have done well. I'm chuffed however that I'm seen as the second best member amongst being the third funniest. Oh, and Storm Surge too. Further thanks for voting me only second to Benin for my sarcasm. I feel deeply rewarded for these strong assets. Europa and Blackpool rightfully won their positions as they were fantastic meets (2016's had many great ones) although I'm extremely disappointed Fish and Marc didn't win cutest couple. Congrats to Amy and Ryan though. I'm also apparently TPM's joint second sexiest female (along with my gf). Does this mean I have to forfeit I wonder? Thanks again to to those who voted me.

AJ Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 I'm shocked I've still scraping into the top 3 sexiest males over the last few years. Other names have been and gone but I'm greatly humbled I'm still in and also thanks for the second best team member also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Thanks for the nominations guys (well most of them anyway!) here's to another fun filled year in 2017! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Well now I feel under pressure to write something funny here. Too bad. Fortunately I no longer feel any pressure to write quality or knowledgeable posts. Cheers guys! Derren Brown best anything? Hahaha! Most importantly, when is Adventure island's Time Machine going to claim its rightful place as king of the flat rides? pognoi and MattyMoo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Time Machine is dreadfully vomtastic, and also it's at a park that isn't Thorpe or Merlin so it's not got a good ridership on here... Not a good flat ride... pognoi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
