Mattgwise Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Hi everyone, Halloween is coming up and that means we will be holding the annual TPM Thorpe Park Fright Nights meet. The date of the event has been set as Sunday 13th October. Please PM me or reply below if you plan on attending. The event will take place over the whole day as the park will be open 10am - 10pm, with horror mazes from 3PM. Below is the provisional plan for the day: Park opening - Meet in the dome 10:15 - Start making way around the rides 1:30ish - Lunch 2:30 - Meet back up and start making way to first maze choice. 3:30 onwards - More mazes and rides in the dark until close (maybe another stop for food later if people hungry) The meets are great fun and everyone is invited, even if you have never posted before or even been to a meet at all. If it's your first meet, I understand it can be nerve breaking - but we were all there once before, so all know the feeling, please don't let this stop you from attending. Once you are there you'll be part of the group in no time at all! Everyone attending will have my number or be a part of a FB messenger group.

Jack Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 I’ll be there on the 12th with my girlfriend. Probably won’t stick around for the whole evening but would be nice to do a few mazes with everyone and become a part of the group as I’ve been on the forums for a few years now and never actually attended a meet or met anyone 🤪👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattgwise Posted August 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Sounds great, will be nice to have you to join the fun. We always have a great day. Jack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessica2 Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 12th I'm unsure, would much prefer the Sunday 13th. I believe a few others can't do the 12th either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattgwise Posted August 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Hmm, nobody else has messaged, but based on your request I will change this to a poll to see who the others are that say they can only make the 13th. I will put the poll up for one week. jessica2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyMoo Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 12th is not doable for me due to family commitments - 13th should be fine I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 I'm travelling the 12th and would only be able to make for a couple of hours (assuming Ryanair don't delay me), so the 13th would be better for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We left 7 mins early on two flights this month and on all 4 flights I've taken we have arrived early! They just suck at pointless up charges. Would be great to have you at a meet though as you've been absent all year haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marhelorpe Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Can’t make this one I’m afraid (at present) on whichever day is selected that weekend. You all have a good time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt A Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Saturday sounds good Sunday is really not ideal for me but could make it for the evening if the date was switched to then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe99 Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 13th is doable, work every Saturday and getting to Thorpe would be nightmarish after work on a Sat Mattgwise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Does anyone remember when Traveller Sunday is at Fright Nights? As I wouldn’t recommend that Sunday. terrortomb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 That particular Sunday is usually the first or second Sunday of Fright Nights. Traditionally it always was the first, but they seemed to have strayed from that a bit recently and sometimes do it as the second. jessica2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitch Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Ah yes so instead we go on the busy Saturday and then complain when we didn't have the chance to finish all the mazes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH with mazes opening at 3pm there should be plenty of time even if it's the Saturday. Plus how often have crowds been very high this year? Very few days. Might have that trend continue into FN! With fright nights also starting early this year it could mean 'week 3' is the 'traveller sunday' aka the weekend we are going! That reminds me, just over 24 hours left to vote for the day! Come on guys let's have more of you vote and attend this trip. They are great fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 236 Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 Not swaying the vote, but I would rather deal with longer queues than travellers causing havoc to everyone and everything. However, with me scheduled as working for both days I haven’t voted, but will try and swap for the day it is. If not I’ll probably tag along for the last few hours.

MattyMoo Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 I hate Thorpe Park but I suppose I'm still gonna go xoxox Martin Doyle, Stuntman707 and jessica2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattgwise Posted September 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 During FN the difference in crowd on a Saturday to Sunday really isn't much before the half term weekends. I've been on extremely busy Saturdays and Sundays yet also been on very empty Saturdays and Sundays too! You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitch Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 Why dont we just go on the Thursday night instead when the park is empty. Avoid both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
