[Dirk_Ermen]

awesome, sounds like i'm going to meet the complete UK crew in one week time! xD

the day in the pleasure beach has been extended to 2 days as the friday its open half a day and drayton will be moved back to the sunday.
also chessington and thorpe park have been swaped to take advantage of the queter crowds in thorpe park on a monday

less than a week to go now YAY

[Dirk_Ermen]

I can't wait! Finally some more coasters to add on my list [:)]

[gouldy]

the 7th is booked off from work and I shall be there. We just gonna meet at the entrance gate as is traditional?

can do gouldy or ourside the monorail toilets by the carpark, im seeing if we can get some early tickets for extraordenety golf

[gouldy]

the golf in all fairness is probably the best thing there

[Coasterkidmwm]

Do they serve crumpets at Alton Towers?

[gouldy]

not to my knowledge, child.

no actually they do gouldy, on main street the reseraunt on the right by story book land you can get crumpets and muffins

[gouldy]

well, you learn something new every day. Although I can't think of a time when I have ever been into Sotry Book Land far enough to ever see what's really in there.

I don't explore Alton Towers much, I stick to the area's im familliar with, ForbiddenValley, UG, X, Gloomy; I dont go elsewhere unless i'm with people that want to. I'm scared of pedo's that are looking at the little children in their own themed section

[gouldy]

...yeah, I'm scared of getting caught.

guess its just me who likes looking at kiddies then lol, no not actually in story land but on main street, the place is on the right as you head out of it towards story land. and have you never been and explored the other parts of the park, some of the gardens are beautiful and the towers themselves are stunning not to mention the places you can find that the towers probally dont want the public to know about like the abandond toilets, the cave and the hanging dead pigeon thats been there 5 months.

[gouldy]

I tend to stick to the coasters in all fairness, apart from Second breakfast time and lunch time. Had to walk through the gardens though the other day because the skyride is now in a fairly perminent state of closure for obvious reasons. The gardens are gay and they are the only place in the whole park where it would be possible for them to build a coaster of more than 100ft, because of the natural dip in the land. but obviously they can't bbecause of the listed nature of the gardens and their contents. That stuff bores me to be honest, I'd sooner see a hideously big woodie in there.

Plus, I can see dead pidgeons dotted around the roads on the way to Alton Towers and I can cause my own dead pidgeons along the way

you mean like that one that flew out on us while on the way to oakwood i think it was lol.

less then 48 hours now and counting and YES i went and got some english muffins today as i really fancyed some after all this muffin talk. now do i take my camcorder or my SCL camera, i think the camcorder as video will be alot of fun

[Dirk_Ermen]

A little more than 24 hours right now. It's going to be damn fun! [:D]

[gouldy]

yeah, the video camera fo'sho. You can do a big trip video, like a video of all of the parks and some best bits etc... You could even do some of that really crap stuff that Theme Park Review do, with them just messing around on some miscellaneous games machine or pointing to a sign that might be of slight amusment.

Lol, we'll do that stuff already, on picture or on video!

yeah lots of that gouldy, im shure were going to have an awesome time all of us

[gouldy]

Gaz, there might be a bit of trouble with me getting to Alton Towers on the day, there shouldn't be, but there might. My misses is at Uni you see, but we're sorting it out that I have the car on that day, but it's difficult to get to uni without the car, the busses are just awful.

She says though, at the worst, we'll come in the car to Alton Towers in the morning and then she'll just go to uni from there and come back when she's finished at uni. She doesn't think she'll have to be there that long but it's got in the way of my plans a bit, typical

[Dirk_Ermen]

Good luck gouldy, I still hope we could the meetup.

I'm just getting ready for departure, we'll be flying 16:25 (GTM+1) and arriving at 16:55. (GTM) [:D]

If anyone dares to greet us at Birmingham airport, be my guest!

[Dirk_Ermen]

yay, for doubleposting!

I'm now at Gary's place, tomorrow it's time for Chessington! Yay! ECG, you still coming? If you'll still planning to come, we'll be at the entrance gate even before park opening. When we don't have any delays.

Or else we'd always could try to meet at thorpe on monday? Let us know!
