The Smiler will not open Meet PART TWO - Saturday 25th May

Re: Smiler Meet PART TWO - Saturday 25th May

Rowe, Jenna and I are setting off at 6.30/6.45am. If the roads are clear we should be arriving some time after 8am to 8.30am.

Looking forward to seeing y'all soon!

Look out for Astro (aka this fine fellow) as he's typically the leader of the group!

Never seen that man before in my life.

Meeting Point on Saturday is 8:00am at Splash Landings lobby. We will be leaving promptly to walk to the entrance plaza.

If you are late, you may miss the ride on The Smiler with the rest of the group as it is anticipated that the ride will have very long wait times this weekend, due to reduced capacity.

Ack, no chance of John and I getting there before 08:30 earliest. Hopefully we'll catch up with the group at some point :)

Hey guys, after all that I won't be able to attend as I've become unwell :(
I will keep an eye out for future meets though.

Reduced capacity indeed!

Doesn't look promising, does it...

Obviously, I'm still going whatever happens, though I shan't be getting out of bed early if we already know it's not running. It'll be a much needed good day anyway, looking forward to it :)
And if it doesn't work - there's always Sunday/Monday :)
 
Re: Smiler Might Open Meet PART TWO - Saturday 25th May

I will be there regardless on Saturday, though I won't be arriving at 8am if The Smiler is not going to be open!

:)

I'm of a similar mindset...if the Smiler's not open, will we be meeting at the usual 8.30am as if it were a standard meet?
 
Re: Smiler Might Open Meet PART TWO - Saturday 25th May

I would imagine so yes! Although if it's not open the time I arrive may depend upon how tired I am! :p
 
Re: Smiler Might Open Meet PART TWO - Saturday 25th May

Yeah, precisely the same.
I've decided to go along with the day expecting Smiler to be closed, so I'm not disappointed if it is, but thrilled if it opens. If it's shut, the park will be quieter, and I'm sure there'll be plenty of fun to be playfully poked at the park in general. Besides, Nemesis is better anyway :p
Still looking forward to it, and it's an excuse to go AGAIN later in the Spring :)
Just hope the bloody weather perks up a little though.

I may not be going if the smiler isn't open
Ill go next week when it does open, so tomorrow decides what I'm doing
 
Re: Smiler Might Open Meet PART TWO - Saturday 25th May

Regardless of rather the lump of metal is open or not, I probably won't be there now.
Depends how I am when I wake up Sat morning
unforseen circumstances 'n all. :0
 
Re: Smiler Might Open Meet PART TWO - Saturday 25th May

Is anyone going to be swinging by Uttoxeter at around 8.15? It would be awesome if someone could pick me up from the station :)
 
Re: Smiler Might Open Meet PART TWO - Saturday 25th May

I could very well do that for you Liam
Just need to make sure that John and Islander are still going cause of the Smiler may not be open by then (We have a room booked between us)

If you could let me know that would be awesome AND you would be a lifesaver!

My attendance to this meet is dependant on the Smiler opening... as I don't want to travel so far and then find its not open, then travel again next week if it opens after Sat. Need to save on money! ;)
 
Re: Smiler Might Open Meet PART TWO - Saturday 25th May

Not opening according to the AT homepage - sort it out Towers! :(
