I really want to come with you lot but due to being only 12 and that I don't know any of you AND that my dad won't want to drive me up there just to walk around the park with a bunch of strangers all day, I probably won't come.

Its what my dad does....However he is by himself, so he's always pretty happy about it, he never gets peace at home anyway, so it's kind of a win-win thing for both of us. I was like 13 when I first met up with people...I think?

Fortunately my dad plays golf so dropped me of at thorpe nd buggered of to a local golf course with a mate for the day Which was nice of him to take me up to thorpe, usually get the trainTbh 12 is quite a hard age for taking trips like these, couple of years mate.

Well I might POSSIBLY be able to come, I just need money and to persuade my dad.And Master iskander-What do you mean by "Quite a hard age"?

Basically he means that it'l be harder to persuade your parents at the age of 12.

Master iskander-What do you mean by "Quite a hard age"?

I think what he is trying to say is that your too young, and its unlikely that your parents will let you spend an entire day with a bunch of enthusiasts/fanboys/girls off an internet forum.

Sooo...Basically your saying you don't want me? I won't be offended just tell me the truth, I can understand it will make it more difficult for you all with me being so young, Yeah I understand completley!

We don't not want you... Iskander was just saying it may be harder to get permission from your parents at an age where they're still a bit 'clingy' and don't want you going around with INTERNET people / Marc Simpson ().

Sooo...Basically your saying you don't want me? I won't be offended just tell me the truth, I can understand it will make it more difficult for you all with me being so young, Yeah I understand completley!

Naah when I first met up I was much younger than everyone. It seriously is NOT a problem, so no we aren't saying we dont want you to be there .

Put me as a maybe, it depends on quite a few things ATM

Well it's looking more and more likley that I will be able to come!My nan will give me some money towwards it,My dad has said it's not a deffinate no but not a deffinate yes!And I have a few questions,1.What rides will be open on the day?2.What is the situation with minors?3.What is the schedual or is it just like a "Let's do________now" sorta thing?Edit:WHOOPS!

1. According to the TP website...Chief Ranger's Carousel Colossus Detonator Mr Monkey's Banana Ride Nemesis Inferno Octopus Garden Quantum Rush Time Voyagers Vortex X:\ No Way Out Zodiac However this may not be the final list, and it changes all the time so none of us can really be sure. 2. I don't really know what you mean by 'situation'. There really isn't any situations, you'll be treated normally llike most other people I s'pose. But if there is something you mean you'd have to ask an admin.3. Nope. Apart from the meeting time there is no schedule.

Answer to question 3 cos Dan is useless It's usually meet up, take a group photo, decide on a ride then the group seems to split up into smaller groups.

What?! No stealth?! OR saw!? OUTRAGE! OUTRAGE I SAY!Well the list seems OK I suppose...

You haven't been following the 2009 Season topic have you?

Lol you did know that Saw wouldn't be open for thorpe blast right...

Thrill Chill Skandar! Thrill Chill!

Lol, just realised this is for thrill chill and not full season! How dopey can I get?

No theme park will publish a list of rides available for the entire season!

Pleasure Beach have for this year, clonk.

Well that makes it a bitmore unlikley that I will be attending, It's my mum's birthday on the day...

How can you forget that it was your mums bday? And although that Pleasure Beach have stated the rides that will be open over the season, Thorpe will never do this as things happen throughout the season. I mean last year they could of easily said Rush will be open this year and then look what happened!!! Thorpe will never give a final list until the day before as the engineers might find a problem with one of the rides or something might happen on that ride the day before. It's a basic turn up and expect the unexpected.

Well my mum said that it wont affect her B-day at all so I may be able to come after all. But what is the point of the trip? Half the rides will be closed and some people here may only be able to afford going once, like me. So why not go opening day of the MAIN season instead?

There's usually an open-day trip as well. This one is just for everyone to see each other at a theme park after a 3 month break.

In THAT case, I might come to thatone instead and have a chance to see saw!
