Hello to all the UK coaster enthusiasts on the site!
I would have posted this last wednesday but I'm currently having some major problems with my internet connection, as a result I am posting this from a friends house. I also can't say when I will have my internet connection back, hopefully within the next few days.
This thred is to inform you of the date, time and wherabouts of our site get-together at Alton Towers this year.
Friday 28th October 2005 is the date
If any members may have a problem attending on that day, then please state so, as it is still possible for me to rearrange the meet-up on a different day, however there is only really one good alternative day. For any members who still attend school; could you please make sure to check that this date coincides with your half term. I am almost certain that it does, but just to be on the safe side, I would prefer it if you were to check.
The park opens at 9:30am and the rides subsequently open at 10:00am. The ideal situation is that we are all at the park for 9:00am, that way we would have plenty of time to meet and greet each other before we actually enter the park. However, I appreciate that some people may not live close enough to the park for this to be possible. If you are going to come along, but you doubt if you can be at the park for around 9:00am, we may have to meet up with you at a late time, at a certain place within the park itself.
For those of you who can get to the park for 9:00am, or not long after, we will be meeting in the area of the ticket kiosks at the very front of the park, next to the drop off point. If you've not been to the park before; the monorail takes you dircetly to this spot from the car park, or if you are being dropped off at the park by someone, it is right in front of you. If you are still not certain of where I mean, then make sure to enquire further, in this thread. For anyone who will be turning up slightly later in the day; we will have to organise a second meeting point within the park, along with a meeting time.
If you are thinking of bringing someone along with you, that's absolutely fine, but I will say one thing; they may get a little bored when we start talking about OTSR's, copper alloy fins and negative g's.
If you are not sure who you are looking for or what they look like, look for a black wolves shirt and bad hair, because that will be me [;)]
Finally, if you are going to come along and meet some of you fellow Weeweeslapians, you MUST post in this thread and make absolutely certain that I know you are coming. I will make a list of who is coming so we will know when everyone has arrived and so we don't lose anyone aswell
. Can you also please make sure that I have either your MSN address or your email address, as I may need to contact you if there are any last minute changes.
Make sure you have read this post in it's entirety, as I do not want you to miss anything.
