[Dan]

[Dux0r]

erm, is it as easy to get to as chesington - or do you have to get a train and a bus then anotehr bus then walk then fly then treck through the amazon.

[Toptotty]

Dux0r - just let me know how many people you want to come along and I'll add them.

If you are getting a train, I can collect you from the nearest station - am at work at the mo and don't have net at home (til NTL decide to fix it!) so will sort out station collections asap

[*Tsunami*]

Everybody keep your eyes open for special offers for park entry O_o. Last time I visited all I needed to do was buy a couple bottles of fanta. That got me a 2 for 1 ticket, I went with a friend and got in for 1/2 price :)

[Dux0r]

[Bootz]

It's a saturday, sedond week of april. There are no lans that weekend or weekends either side of it.

rofl

just as i scrolled onto those THIS (http://www.parachutingtrees.co.uk/crap/music.zip) started playing

:D

[Bootz]

There is still room at the inn!!!!

i can sleep 1 with me in bed (mate Emma), and 4 or 5 others on my floor.

There is also the lounge which ca nprobably sleep another 4/5.

P.S. parking not so good, though it's down a private road, so ideally if people can car share/train to ours, then its all good.

[her0n]

it will be bodies everywhere!

[Killy]

heh if it wasn't such a short trip for me anyway i'd probably join you :)

[Elbonio]

edit: do shotgun rules apply? Do i have to be within sight of her? Who's the driver? If i can get my hand on her handle then that counts, right?

so wrong. SO wrong. :p

[Shadowhunta]

GOD DAMMIT!! a great oppertunity for me to catch up with everyone and i have to work that weekend...sometimes..just sometimes...being a chef sucks arse..BIGTIME :(

[GeeDee]

The rest of you must pay up now, immed, gogogogogogo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111oneonetwothree

:D

[Toptotty]

cheese

[RocketKnight]

Um, sorry for being slack, I was under the impression this was a pay on the day thing, who do I pay??

[Toptotty]

Pay me :D PM for details

£20 to jump the gate queues

Or £14 if you can find a friend to go in half price but queue at the main gates (you don't need to give me the £14 for this)

[philbert_mcpleb]

can i pay with paypal? if so i can send teh money over when i get paid next (31st)

[Toptotty]

erm, I don't know how paypal works, can you not EBT it?

[Dan]

ok i seem to still be on the list, said I could nt go! :(

[Steadders]

Wow, i never go to the outings forum because i thought it was just for skiing and paintballing.

I live just down the road from thorpe park, if i pass a certain test i'll go for sure, but im still a bit confused, can i pay on the door if i don't mind waiting in the queues?

[*Tsunami*]

Cause you can pay on the door Steadders, come along you know it will be great..

However, if you are SURE you are attending, I'm sure someone will go with the 2 for 1 ticket price, meaning you can get in for just £!4..

Basically the prices are..

£28 ... Full Adult Price (pay on day, queue)
£20 ... Pre-Purchased Ticket Price (no queue)
£14 ... 2 for 1 offer, if there are 2 ppl (queue).

Come along, it will be great.. Im sure there are some rides we can convince you to join us on =)

[her0n]

Steadders when's your test?

[UberMonkey]

I'll come! :D

ill tell jeff to come too (vapourized) if he has the $$$

havent actually read thru the 4 pages, will do so now before asking anything thats alredy been answered

[BugAlugs]

Thorpe Park Fined

Thorpe Park has been fined £2600 after school children were found to be working illegally at the Surrey theme park. The fine was for more than 40 breaches in employment law relating to eight children. The breaches included children working without a permit and children working longer than the permitted number of hours. A statement for Thorpe Park said that the breaches were due to an administrative error. The park was also ordered to pay £60 costs.

OMFG

[UberMonkey]

they make that back up in a day very easily... wont effect us at all will it? like the park having to be closed down for 1 day and it just happens to be on the 9th :P

[Mister Q]

Count me and Q2 in definitely! Will work on some other FTA members to come and h4x yet another Multiplay event ;)

You MUST have told me you are definately coming by Thursday 31st March as I am booking the tickets on Friday.

Mandy

Will update as more join in

[UberMonkey]

payment TBA? (cant figure out what TBA stands for) im staying at bootz's so i give u money on saturday? :)

[Dux0r]

Dux0r + 1 is called murox btw, just to let you know :)

also we will both be paying cash, if possable.

[her0n]

TBA = to be advised.. IE she has no details from you and is waiting for the money. If you want a 'no queue' at the main gates ticket you need to send totty £20 by march 31st (tomorrow)

If not you queue and pay on the door with the rest of the scumbags!

[*Tsunami*]

Paul just to point out we dont think your a scumbag!!. No-one in the community really knows you very well, so obviously payment needs to get to totty if you wish to get the £20 offer. However, your more than welcome to turn up on the day and buy a normal ticket, or if you can find your own special offer use that.

My advice if you are planning to Q is arrive at 9.30, Thorpe park always seem to open the queue lines before the park opens at 10. Chances are you'll queue a little then join the rest of us for the opening of the park...

[Toptotty]

Click here for updated info (http://toptotty.fatboylan.net/tp.xls)

Excel sheet with all the details I have collected so far. Please inform me of whether you need overnight accommodation etc

To clarify something:

If you wish to have the £20 group ticket you must tell me asap. Do not tell me "cash on door" if you want to buy your own ticket with a special offer.

I am only interested in people who I am paying for, as I dont want a world of tickets that I can't sell

You are obviously welcome to wander aroudn with us tho, just dont confuse me!

oookie, u dont have a paypal account do u? if EBT is electronic bank transfer or something i can probably do that, unless its alredy too late... if u see me on irc or add me on msn (paulsemail@mail2hell.com) i will phone my mum while talking to u and have her transfer the ££

[RocketBabyDolls]

Ok, im getting paid more than i thought and am definately able to go, not sure how i can pay, ive got paypal, or i can do a direct bank transfer online. Also, if anyone is in Berkshire region, and wants a lift, contact me and ill see what i can do.

[Toptotty]

If anyone wants to pay by EBT thats great, otherwise it'll have to be cash on the day. PM me for EBT details

REMEMBER IF I DON'T HAVE DETAILS OF HOW YOU ARE GOING TO PAY I WILL NOT BE BUYING YOU A TICKET TOMORROW

You can obv still come along and buy your own on the door.

Mandy

[UberMonkey]

rocketbaby is going to EBT £20 to u for me (i'm sending the money to him thru paypal)
