That’s it! No more payments for early stuff, please. Final head count is 23. Sorry to keep banging on, but if you’re not doing the early stuff, you will now need to buy a ticket and enter the park at 10am when it opens to the public. I’m off to the park tomorrow to make the payment and...

FINAL WARNING! Payment due to today for the early stuff and lanyard. (Thanks to Rachel and Nathan who messaged me earlier. Awaiting Nathan's payment.) If you're not doing the early stuff and are planning to enter when it opens at 10am, please go ahead and buy your ticket online now for the best...

Hi all, penultimate reminder that I will be making the payments on Wednesday, so please contact me and pay by Tuesday evening if you want to join the early morning stuff. I've had payments from the following: Ian (that's me!) Ian's local mates x 4 Raybould Vadge Bentleya Shaun + brother MouseAT...

Hi Dave, I'm afraid not. September for the illuminations and other commitments I have over the summer.

The lanyards will be for the ERTers only I’m afraid, because I need to give the park a number of attendees (hence the pre-payment via me). @kayleigh coston I’ve never experienced the disabled facilities at Paultons, but their online info seems to be fairly comprehensive...

Thank you to those who have paid. Friendly reminder you have until Tuesday to make the payment, please. Contact me for info.

Perk Update! Paultons have kindly offered a brief workshop tour, starting at 9am-ish (depending on engineer availability), followed by Storm Chaser ERT around 09:30 until the park opens at 10:00. After that, we'd have the advantage of being in the park before it opens and be first in line for...

Ok. Quite a few people going! I think it’s worth me trying for ERT or something.

Many people come on their own, so you won’t be the only one. I know it can be daunting making that first step, but I’m very sure everybody will be welcoming and you’ll make several new friends by the end of the day. Just remember there’s no pressure to stay with the group or to ride anything you...

I’m unable to do any lifts because I’ll be cycling there and back. I no longer own a car. Or if it’s crap weather, I’ll be buttering somebody up to pick me up/drop me off (I live 8mins drive away) in return for a burger. @Nicky Borrill We’ll easily get all the creds. I managed them all, except...

This little piggy went to Alton. This little piggy then went home. This little piggy rode the new cred. This little piggy got a plus 1. And this little piggy went wee-weeee-weeeee and invited you to Paultons! The Live name is a bit rubbish (as was my take on the nursery rhyme). I was thinking...

April Fools is bollocks. I would lock this as requested, but I want to give people the chance to express their disappointment.

Few more images.

Managed to get on the ride today. It's quite good fun, nice little whip around the helix and the theme is cute and well executed (particularly liked the 'easter eggs' in the photo booth exit - photos of the park owners and some staff as olden time American fighter pilots). I'm pretty sure the...

ROFL. I have no other comment.

Can anybody remember the Kodak spots that were dotted around the (what are now) Merlin parks? I swear my mum has multiple photos of me at Thorpe and Chessington taken in the same spot taken every year in the late 80’s/early 90’s. Taking a photo of the same thing isn’t a new trend. It’s just...

How many times was the first CF rapids boat to leave the station overtaken?

Hahah, I usually sit the rapids out but I was so intrigued… When I go back, I’ll have a better understanding of the vegetation and upkeep of some ride features!

Thanks for yesterday! Was great to be back, catch up with old mates and get to know some new ones. The Live may not have had the quirky fun that Serena typically brings, but I hope my “mates mooching at a park” approach was good enough. Nemesis was my standout ride of the day. It quite jerky...

Weather is currently looking favourable for Sunday! Is anybody a needing any new-to-them creds on Sunday? I’ll play it by ear but always good to know if something needs to be targeted.
