Re: Theme Park Meet Ups
Legoland was chosen by everyone over London that particular day as it was pretty much a dead cert that London would be rammed due to the Jubilee celebrations, and thus would make for rather an uncomfortable and probably rather stressful day. I guess Legoland seemed like the safer option.
I do think the weather on the day had an impact too, even at Thorpe Park, by late afternoon following a long downpour I felt rather subdued and ready to leave. Only the fact that Thorpe has much more to offer in terms of attractions that are worthy of a re-ride and we could re-ride due to it being so quiet, kept me there until the ride close.
I don't have any issue with Legoland. I think it is a very nice park, and on a better day with some nice weather it can be a good day out. Sadly it isn't really a park that is geared up towards a group of teens & adults visiting in a large number. There just isn't enough for us to do. That's no fault of Legoland, and of course we all know it is aimed at families with young children. Combine that with poor weather conditions of the day, it was understandable that most opted to leave to go elsewhere.

Will there be the inevitable "Who's going" topic?

Re: Theme Park Meet Ups
Once the 'Who's Going' topic goes up you should ask at least 3 people confirmed for the same date as you to switch numbers and as Benedique said text them on the day.
However there's a surefire chance that the next meet will be really big, although that still won't make finding the group easy, so it would be worth going to a micro/mini meet beforehand to get to know a few members just to ease yourself in better with a 20 plus group.
