I think I will. Don't want to have to consider ticket prices every time I want to come to a meet! x

PS Thanks again! x

This may be a bit late, but is there any chance of a lift from Stoke train station on Thursday morning?
 
Re: Smiler Meet PART ONE - Thursday 23rd May

How busy are we expecting this to be? Rumors of 20,000 people seem a little far-fetched to me, but then again I've never been to a ride opening.

No way. It will likely reach that over the weekend, but I would doubt any more than 10-15k for a weekday.
 
Re: Smiler Meet PART ONE - Thursday 23rd May

I'm guessing that 20,000 rumour being based on pre booked Tickets!
I know we are staffed for a busy day!
 
Re: Smiler Meet PART ONE - Thursday 23rd May

I have heard rumours of 17-18k for Thursday with over 20k on Saturday. However I have no idea how true these rumours are.

Re: Smiler Meet PART ONE - Thursday 23rd May

I know I've already mentioned this, but I'm really desparate now - is anyone able to pick me up from Stoke station on thursday? I can be there for about 7:50.

Anyone? Please?
 
Re: Smiler Meet PART ONE - Thursday 23rd May

OK, what time are people getting there and meeting? i.e., exactly how early do I need to be waking Kaycee up?!

I'm not driving so I can't help, but according to Transport Direct you can go to Uttoxeter station and get a 32A to Towers which could get you there for 9:45am at least?

I checked train tickets and for some reason getting to Uttoxeter more than doubles the cost of my journey :(
 
Re: Smiler Meet PART ONE - Thursday 23rd May

Check each stage individually, will work a lot cheaper. Would offer, but don't go through Stoke
 
Re: Smiler Meet PART ONE - Thursday 23rd May

I will be there for 8 so will wait in splash for others :)
 
Re: Smiler Meet PART ONE - Thursday 23rd May

Im in two minds about this...

Part of me REALLY wants to be down for opening and i'm sure i'll regret it if I don't, but driving down from Newcastle will be the furthest i've ever driven alone and i'm going back in just over 2 weeks time. Not to mention everyone I know is busy with college and exams so it would have to be a solo mission :(

My idea of driving through the night then kipping in the Hotel car park does sound exciting though... :/

I should be going through Stoke at about 7:15 if you're able to get there any earlier. Sorry if not. :(
