wws thorpe park meet

Sorry gazag, thorpe park is just TOO far away from Bolton, unless you want to pick me up from Bolton (very unlikeley[lol])im sorry but i cant come. Sorry Dude!!!

thats ok ecg, im sure you will be able to make some of the others.

does any one else have any news on wether they will be going ir is it just me and gouldy?

Yeah as you may have gathered again, i cant come, too far from Lincs. Im gonna have to wait till august to ride stealth, so im going to Kumali opening day instead hopefully [:D] Anyway dudes, if you're going on the 15th thats the day the "Ride if first" day is. A few people i know of have won and will be riding on that day and they dont get o ride until past 12. So stealth wont even be open for winners till past 12, let alone the GP. Then they have to get through all the winners, and it may or may not open for the GP afterwards. No one really knows whats happening as Stealth havent announced it all officially. Im just saying, you wont get to ride it in the morning definately! But i hope you get to ride it in the afternoon, i hear theres only 4 trains of winners going around, so it should open for the GP afterwards!

So will stealth definatly be open on the 17th?

I dont know. It SHOULD be open on the 15th, but it hasnt been confirmed yet. Ride it first passengers areriing on the 15th, so i guess after that it will open to the GP. But thorpe still havent confirmed it, and alot of people keep ringing thorpe up and getting different answers. Some say it opens on the 15th, while others say it doesnt open for a few weeks yet. No one really knows what going on. I think you should just go as you've planned and it should be open. If not, complain to thorpe about not confirming opening day

its a good thing were going on the 16th then isnt it jpecool. its a shame you nor any one else can get there but it dont really matter anyway. i wasent expecting many people to turn up to any of the meetups.

i hope stealth is open but if not there is still a lot of really sweet rides and even if it is not open hopfully it will be testing and i will still get some footage of it, but we will have to se wont we?

It should be open 16th. [:D] I really hope it so you guys get to ride it and so you get pics and video! gazag, warning, dont try and get POV of stealth, it isnt worth it. Thorpe emailed a few of the large English coaster sites like coasterforce and asked them to put messages up saying anyone trying to get POV footage who is caught, will have to face some pretty serious consequences. I believe they may be doing more than the "You'll be chucked out the park approach" and footage destoyed. They werent just saying it like they usually do, they actually meant it..... Coasterforce are even going as far as not hosting any stealth POV footage at all unless its official, or the person who made it can prove they made it with permission.

thanks for the warning jpe. i was going to try but i shall now just ask if i can get some cool footage in the station of it launching. does this also apply to any of the other rides? i dont want to be evicted from the park.
me and gouldy arnet alone any more either, my sister and one of her friends are coming to but i dought weather they will be with us all day.

they will be strict on this ride thought. on rita the staff knew i had a camera but they didnt care. on a ride as new as this they probally will care until next season then they will just forget about it as drayton manor did with the no pov rule on everything.
i wish they have a pov rule like at bpb because they have no rule exept on bling and spin docter but those would be stupid rides to take a camera on wouldent it?

again thanks for the info jpecool, i really apreciate it.

shes 17 and dont bother because taff her man is a big guy and would beat you beyond reconition and if i was to tell him you are a wolves fan it would be even worse as he is a blues fan

[gouldy]

hmmmmph *zipz up* hahaha!

She's too old for me anyway [;)]

every one heard that, gouldys into 13 year old girls.

perv

PERV!!!

[gouldy]

[:D]

No problem! Dont want to see you guys getting kicked out and getting your footage destroyed cos then i cant see any stealth video, even if its just offride

Erm i dont think they will be as harsh on colossus and NI. They've never been that harsh before, its just thorpe dont want anything going wrong with stealth as they are going to make this a BIG year for themselves, and dropping a camera while on stealth could easily hurt someone and then the park looks bad. lol. Also its easier to hide your camera on colossus and NI, especially on NI because you can get it out in the pre drop thing, and put it away on the brake run which cant be seen very well from the station [:)]

Gouldys a perve!

Yeah i got a POV on Colossus and NI last year but then my camera fell out and smashed while i was on slammer.

its now only 4 days till the trip.

now we not only have my sis going but 2 of her friends as well but they will go off else where as they hate inversions.
