Guest Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 Hey Guys,Whilst I've got it on the brain (having mentioned it to Sam), who's up for a trip to a theme park in the near future?Darren said he's got a large car, so we can get a few people in it.As it's now school time, wherever we go will be nice and quiet (as long as we're not dumb and chose half term!)Any ideas on dates? also on venue....My vote will be for Thorpe Park, the rides there are better (the only good one at alton towers in my opinion is Nemesis). Plus i've been to alton towers twice this year already!Of course, if we're all feeling flush after a recent insurance claim, we could go across the pond and go to a proper theme park in florida with BIG rides get involved people.D Quote
Seabluegal Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 This sounds a great idea! I'm sure me and Lau would be up for it.As for dates, I am free most weekends in October at the moment (apart from the first one) Quote
Guest Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 oh yeah, probably not on a weekend also.... just so it's a bit quieter, unless there's a distinct objection to weekdays. Plus i'm not actually free any weekends in october!Just one day holiday won't hurt? I guess going around those on shifts would be easier - when are you guys free in oct? Quote
Seabluegal Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 My work diary is generally booked up a month in advance, so a day off in October will be difficult to sort...Towards the end of October might be do-able!Let me know possible dates and I can try! Quote
Guest Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 Well, having looked at thorpe park website, towards end of october is fright nights, then the park closes just into november.lets have some more feedback before determining when....but i'm expecting a rather lack-luster response. Perhaps we'll just have to wait until spring and just go out on the town between now and then! Quote
Aaron Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 I've managed 30 years without ever getting on a rollercoaster and i'm not about to start now! Quote
duane69 Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 I've managed 30 years without ever getting on a rollercoaster and i'm not about to start now! how can you say that when your on two wheels every road should be a rollercoaster Quote
Susieque Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Just a tip for you - the fright nights at Thorpe Park can get pretty busy!! Quote
Roadrunner Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Any day is good for me, apart from Thursdays. At the moment we have a people carrier which can take 7 people, inc me, but it is up for sale so don't hold me to it.I am happy to use my car but someone else will need to drive too depending on numbers.Not fussed where we go. Leave it to you lot! Just let me know time and date. Quote
acemastr Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 I can book time off with 10days or so notice, possibly. Quote
nman1 Posted September 27, 2010 Posted September 27, 2010 Count me in too. Any day, as I don`t need to give too much notice. Thorpe Park sounds good. I`ve been to Alton Towers this year. Quote
Guest Posted September 27, 2010 Posted September 27, 2010 Right then.as the response was very good (woo ) here are some dates:Tues 18th October (£23pp, 10am-5pm)Weds 19th (as above)Monday 1st Nov (as above)Tuesday 2nd Nov (as above)Weds 3rd (as above)the week i've missed out is half term, and none of these are fright nights (you'll probably be sick of rolling by 5pm anyway!)any preferences? I'm happy with any. Shift workers, which days are you free? Quote
Holliday675 Posted September 27, 2010 Posted September 27, 2010 19th for me im on nights all that week so will look like a zombi but will soon awake after some adrenaline rides.... so yup count me in for then Quote
Guest Posted September 27, 2010 Posted September 27, 2010 right then. Based on replies above, the following stands...19th Oct - Holiday 675, Nman1, GubbaTM, Acemster, RoadrunnerAsh/Seabluegal?So will be either one large car or two smaller ones in convoy. Quote
lau Posted September 27, 2010 Posted September 27, 2010 Sounds like fun, used up all my holiday though unfortunatlyHave a great time! Quote
Ash Posted September 27, 2010 Posted September 27, 2010 Only day I'm not working out of the choises is the 1st of November so will have to count me out as it's the 19th.Ash Quote
Guest Posted September 27, 2010 Posted September 27, 2010 If Seabluegal cannot make 19th and can make 1st, that means more people could make that day, and thus may change to it!The date will ultimately depend on the majority and their availability.... Quote
Seabluegal Posted September 27, 2010 Posted September 27, 2010 I can make any of those dates in November so count me in for the Monday 1stSounds good! Quote
Guest Posted September 27, 2010 Posted September 27, 2010 well, there we go!November 1st has the majority based on that (sorry sam!)right, well, I'll need CONFIRMED yes or no's for that date before I go any buy tickets online.put names below:GubbaTMThorpe park, yeah!! Quote
