Merlin weekend = 17th/18th Oct

Planning a trip to Thorpe on Saturday 17th and Chessington on Sunday 18th if anyone fancies coming along (to either or both).
Thorpe opening times on 17th = 10.00 - 22.00 (Fright Night event)
Chessie opening times on 18th = 10.00 - 17.00
Very Happy

Dont forget if your going to Thorpe that weekend it may be booking only and no with out a vaild booking confirmation wont get in even with just a annual pass that why were going mid week etc to save the hassle with them.

The sunday were at Alton towers for there fright nights so cant make either im affraid but would like to do chessington for a fright night tho.

According to the 'flyer' that was waiting for me when I got home from loopathon, fright nights at Thorpe Park are strictly pre book 24 Oct - 1st Nov.  All other dates are free entry as normal.

So, Dr Cat shouldn't have any problems with that.
Dr Cat

Ow, please don't jinx it - fingers crossed it'll be ok!
Hopefully the only thing i'll have to deal with next weekend is all the chav's!!  Laughing

Hi Cat,

I am heading down that day and meeting a couple from the club. I am also bringing a couple non members. If you fancy meeting up PM me and let me know.

Anyone else who fancies meeting and does not have a Merlin pass, I can get hold of a voucher from my Persil (or Aeril) washing detergent that is for buy one get one free on the full priced ticket. Let me know and I can bring it along.

Kind Regards

David

We went today and it was very very quite mazes had ques more when they opened bout 20 mins at a guess but on a weekend I think it will be very very busy as like in the past so a fast pass is advisable for them. Saw the ride comes alive ummmm not really it was dead when we got there for a hour or so and when it opend and at night it was still like it was dead  Laughing

Hi Cat

as several people have expressed an interest in Thorpe can you post a time and place to meet. I've decided to come to Thorpe in the day and then pay a visit to Marlborough Mop in the evening (anyone know why it's called a Mop fair?)

A mop fair, it means that it goes through the streets.

Mop fair are called mops due to things going back a few hundred years now so women running away with the fairs for a better life etc if i rember rightly

So anyone know what time they are getting there. I am aiming for 10:00 to 10:30 depending on traffic. A nice 12 hours of roller coasters:)
Steven Burns

The other option being the big group who are off to that other merline park Alton Towers on the Sunday 18th.
Dr Cat

Hi guys,

Soz for being rubbish about posting a time. Evil internet security at work won't let me access the forum anymore. Grrrr  Evil or Very Mad

Anyway, planning to be there for opening, which prob means arriving about 9.30am ready to run to where-ever = likely Stealth to kick start the day with a mega adrenaline rush!!  Smile

Dan's got my mob number but i'm not really up for posting it on here. So i'll pm the interested ones separately.

See some of you peeps tomo then.  Cool

PS Still going to Chessie on Sunday too, and again planning to get there for opening = 10am.
stevencaine
