Saw better be open for the trip, otherwise that will be twice I have been and not rode the thing.


If it is not open you can add a new line to Matts club. Like a Memebr of Been to ride Saw twice and still not ridden it .  Laughing

I've received the trip badges! Suddenly memories of my last club trip in 2004 are returning. I am extremely excited!

Do you guys still do all the "coaster crazy" shouting stuff? That's something I remember very clearly. Laughing

My trip badge arrived yesterday...Or at least an RCCGB envelope with SAWted: The Trip printed on it arrived yesterday! I presume that there is a trip badge and an itinery in there, though! Cool

It's at this point I have to confess that whenever 'Nev asks the usual question "We're coaster crazy...What are we?" my usual response - Albeit normally muttered under my breath - Normally takes the form of "We're just crazy...Period!" Laughing

Anyhow...Looking forward to seeing all of ye at Thorpe on Saturday! Twisted Evil

Hi Jackie, have you tried to send Andy a Private Message through the forum as well?  If you do not get a response from him, it is always an option.

I'm leaving this evening to stay with a friend for the weekend - so I'm really geting excited now  Very Happy

Stealth is still showing as unavailable on Thorpe Park's website though - which is a shame.  It seems unlikely it will be running on Saturday  Sad

Just been talking to Thorpe and SAW is looking good for tomorrow.  As an added bonus we are going to enter the park before the general public, so that we are first in line for it (first rides of the day!)  Laughing

Also the ERS may NOT start exactly at 5pm as they have to clear the SAW line first.  So just head for the area around that time and as soon as we get the go ahead we'll be on it.  Very Happy

Great news Nev, especially after the 12th, disappointing but understandable.
