Saturday, 18th June 2022: Mid Season Meet

[AstroDan]

Where? Alton Towers Resort
What time? 9.30am outside Splash Landings Hotel

What to expect?
Our Mardi Gras Mid-Season meet is here! Our meets are informal, laid back chances to meet up with like minded people for a few rides, a few pints of the park's best Corona or Stella (or Coca Cola if you're at the wheel) and plenty of laughs. We can usually guarantee a ride on Nemesis, some flame feeding on Wicker Man and a jolly good natter at the Welcom-Inn. Or in the case of this meet... the pontoon! Of course, you'll be more than welcome to join us for part of the day - and if you want to hammer all of the park's attractions, can head off to do so at leisure.

We look forward to seeing you - please RSVP above!

Why can I envisage the outcome of this meet being a sunk pontoon?

Why can I envisage the outcome of this meet being a drunk pontoon?

Fixed it for you

Fixed it for you

I think that's a given @Skyscraper. Sunk is extremely likely too.

 

[Jonathan]

Oh dear. I appear to have purchased an ATAP and prebooked for this. Ah, well - it'll be a good weekend, I'm sure.

I should be there for the afternoon (unless the weather is awful, in which case I’ll be back at home )

It's a shame that the once glorious looking weather forecast has changed to pretty dull, cool and possibly rainy!

Man up. The pontoon has umbrellas.

There are loads of my old brollies on the footpath down to Forbidden Valley on the right hand side.

I don't mind dull, I don't mind cool - just hoping we can avoid the rain. Hopefully the forecast will improve in a day or two!

 

[Danny]

A splendid day as per usual. Long live the pontoon.

 

[Poisson]

Brilliant fun even if the pontoon was already trying to sink. It's something that'd be great long term Mardi Gras - Oktoberfest

 

[MattyH]

Brilliant to catch up with people. Very surreal to be able to discuss theme parks people have been talking to me about for years having visited them.

Mardi Gras is a fantastic event and it's a shame that there's nothing to fill the void between now and Oktoberfest.

Thanks one and all for another fantastic meet up

It was great to see everyone at Alton last weekend! Thanks!
