Everything's all planned, closer to the time we will be setting up a group chat to discuss meeting points etc!

 

I know @StevenVig has booked a room and is looking for other members to join in that room, so please do message him to see if he still has a space. 

 

Cool what flights are people on? and what hotel are people staying in?

Blimey is the week following going to be a killer what with my Sunday flight getting back into Gatwick at 23:50 if it is on time!

PA have just announced a new offer saying that anybody who has booked a room at one of their own hotels between 24th June - 10th September will qualify for a free ticket to Ferrari Land per person/per stay, which means there's no need to shell out €30+ for entry. On Expedia, some rooms available stated this is included but others did not, so it's worth pointing out to those who haven't booked yet regardless of what type of room or hotel you stay at, access is now included during your stay.

Here's the link to the offer:

Really, really glad I made this meet as it was fantastic! Minus the weather upon arrival and the return flight, everything worked out very well and I'd like to thank everyone for the experience and special thanks to Ryan and Marc for helping to keep everything run smoothly!

Here are some of my pictures from the meet, Red Force being the highlight of the trip, alongside Shambhala once again:

Was great to be back here - it’s probabky one of my favourite parks (despite the operations shortfalls!) 

 

Red Force was really good - especially front row, Shambarla as good as ever and as always I loved Baco - even after my 2 hours of constant re-riding!

 

Thanks to Ryan who did pretty much all the arranging before / during the trip - good to hear people enjoyed! 

 

Photos in abit of a random order!

I can't believe no-one has featured the best possible photo of the whole trip

IMG_0782.thumb.JPG.390a7191537d391038f3bda76f931b6b.JPG

 

Honestly, was a mostly enjoyable trip here. Loved Shambhala, Red Force and Baco (surprisingly), plus the shows, water rides and theming were certainly top notch.

 

Big thanks to Marc and Ryan for arranging this trip and sorting the flight situation which could've been disasterous. 

 

Wont be making Fright Nights unfortunately, so may not resurface now until Christmas.
