Easter 2011 Meetup

Post by Mystara »

After having discussed the issue at some length here, I've created this poll to try and establish where we should go for the 2011 Easter meetup. The choices (and advantages/disadvantages) are listed below.

In each case, I have listed the official online price.

Alton Towers
Location: Manchester (ish)
Cost: £30 (discounts possible)
Advantages: Centrally based, reasonable value.
Disadvantages: Will probably feature in a halloween trip.

Drayton Manor
Location: Birmingham (ish)
Cost: £22 (discounts possible)
Advantages: Centrally based, either never done, or not done for a very long time
Disadvantages: Possible slight bias towards rides for younger people?

Thorpe Park
Location: London
Cost: £30 (discounts possible)
Advantages: Reasonable value
Disadvantages: Location isn't great, will probably feature in halloween trip

Chessington
Location: London
Cost: £27 each (discounts possible)
Advantages: Reasonable value, not done in a while?
Disadvantages: Location isn't great, possible slight bias towards rides for younger people?

Camelot
Location: Manchester (ish)
Cost: £20 (discounts possible)
Advantages: Centrally based, they have a ride called 'Knightmare', never visited before
Disadvantages: Reviews indicate that it is poor value for money and run down

Blackpool Pleasure Beach
Location: Blackpool (duh)
Cost: £22 (discounts possible)
Advantages: Blackpool itself is comparatively cheap, there's lots to do in and around Blackpool
Disadvantages: Lots of people went on a trip to Blackpool last year

Si5 Spy Missions
Location: Cambridge or Milton Keynes
Cost: £10.50 (discounts unlikely)
Advantages: Never done before, slightly different
Disadvantages: Only lasts 75 minutes (although given the low price, we could do several different missions, each at 75 mins and £10.50).

The Killing Game (Murder Mystery)
Location: Varies
Cost: £45 (no discount)
Advantages: Location is choosable, includes dinner
Disadvantages: Only lasts 4 hours.

Other?
If you have an idea for inclusion, provide the above details and I shall add it to the poll.
Your selection is not binding and may be changed any time before the poll ends.

Well, it's been a week or so since this poll ended.

Not many votes, but it seems fairly clear.
