The event will include: 30 Mins of Exclusive Ride Time on Colossus at 6pm (park close) A talk on the history behind Colossus and "Exclusive Extras".... trust us, you will love them! We will plan to meet at around 5:40 outside Colossus, those who will be on park earlier give me a shout and we can arrange to meet before hand.

c1hrisin Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 I might be able to come Havent been online for a while. I'm probably going to have to go straight from school. When does the park close? Thrill Riders 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Rather hoped I'd be able to make this one, but no matter. Well done to everyone involved in getting this opportunity to commemorate the ride that well and truly signalled Thorpe's development from just another UK water park into the thrill park it is today. Hope you all have a good time! It'll be interesting to see if those "Exclusive Extras" will be the plans for the Premier Rides launched coaster originally planned for Colossus' spot, plus further insight into why they were dropped in favour of what we now know as Colossus. Btw... INFERNO ERT NEXT YEAR PLS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Just out of interest, when is the event meant to finish, roughly? Presumably the history of Colossus and exclusive extras are after ERT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 I might be able to come Havent been online for a while. I'm probably going to have to go straight from school. When does the park close? The park will close at 6:00pm that day, with the event being held for approximately an hour after, I'd imagine. Just out of interest, when is the event meant to finish, roughly? Presumably the history of Colossus and exclusive extras are after ERT? A safe estimate would be 7:00pm, but it may be later depending on what/how long the talk/tour and exclusive extras is/last.

JoshC. Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Ah, good. Well then, I *should* be able to go, though can't be certain till the end of the week. (By the way - thanks Thorpe and TPM for organising this!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stokesyboy Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 If only this was on a weekend! Can't go to this but would have liked to have gone on the added extras bit! dragon2000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_A Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 I can attend this. Should get to Thorpe between 12-1PM if anyone wants to meet, only problem I might have is getting back to Staines station after the event, I know the 950 buses run 1 hour after park close but not sure if anyone else is planning on doing that too? Might need a lift back to Staines station if the buses aren't on and if anyone goes that way, please! Thanks to everyone who's planned this, really looking forward to going to my first "official" TPM event! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mer Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Should hopefully be able to make this, as this is the day me and Ben planned to go Chessie then head over to Thorpe for some cheeky Swarmage! It's all timed in rather well then! So at the moment it's a maybe, but should be a yes! Will be great to see you all again! Oh and Luke, I'm sure someone will happily give you a lift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexander Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Gutted that I'm on holiday as I would love some ERT on Colossus! Have a good time though all of you, maybe the 'exclusive stuff' is an announcement of refurbing the whole ride for it's tenth year? God I hope so!
