Mumsnetters needed to visit THORPE PARK Resort on Happy Height Day! NOW CLOSED

We're looking for 50 Mumsnetters and their DCs to attend Happy Height Day at THORPE PARK Resort (tickets alone worth £196) and tell us all about it.

Here's what THORPE PARK Resort say: "We see so many excited kids every year who have just reached 1.4m and are now tall enough to have the ride of their lives. At THORPE PARK Resort we're championing this achievement with our Happy Height Day, and celebrating the moment these kids experience a whole new world of thrills!

Whilst we love seeing these kids giddy with excitement to ride on Stealth for the first time, with over 25 rides and attractions throughout the Park and with a new ANGRY BIRDS Land opening in May, there really is so much to keep the whole family entertained. And that includes those under 1.4m"

Of course THORPE PARK Resort is a day out for all the family and has traditionally been popular amongst older children but for Happy Height Day they are particularly interested in showcasing their thrilling rides and attractions to children who are at least 1.4 metres tall. As with all theme parks, rides are often, from a safety point of view, suitable for various height children. They have 11 rides and attractions suitable for children who are on or this height - the Extreme Thrills rides (here). So, if you have at least one child who fits the bill height wise and is up for a thrilling time, read on...

The event will take place on Saturday 22nd March at THORPE PARK Resort.

The chosen Mumsnetters will receive:

  • 4 x THORPE PARK Resort Annual Passes: unlimited access to THORPE PARK Resort throughout the 2014 season, plus 20% discount across selected on Park retail and food outlets. (worth £196, annual pass terms and conditions apply)
  • Gold Priority Pass on Saturday 22nd March: allows fastrack access to many of the rides and attractions
  • Vouchers to buy lunch or use in the retail shops on Saturday 22nd March (worth £50)

Every family who attends the event day will also receive a Happy Height Day welcome pack and gift as a thank you for attending Smile.

Those families selected will be asked, in return, to post their feedback on a thread on Mumsnet after the day to share experiences and also add a review to the reviews area on MN here.

All chosen Mumsnetters will also be asked to use their tickets again to visit THORPE PARK Resort for the launch of ANGRY BIRDS land - dates TBC.

We'd also love it if you could take a few photos of your day and upload them to the feedback thread. Photos may be used by THORPE PARK Resort on Facebook, their website and possibly on other marketing material.

Please note a maximum of 4 people per family can attend the day. Each family will need to make their own way to the park, as travel is not included, however there will be free parking in the car park for those who decide to drive.

If you'd like to take part please add your details here.

We'll be in touch with those selected on 14th March.

Thanks and good luck!

Hermancakedestroyer · 14/03/2014 17:11

Not us either :-( haven't won a sausage since the women's football tickets in October which have still not arrived. Seemed to have dropped off mumsnet radar. Have a fab time if you are going :-)

HappyHippyChick · 14/03/2014 17:17

Woo Hoo we're in too! Not telling my two until we go!! How brilliant, thanks. Grin

MrsSippie · 14/03/2014 17:19

It's Ds birthday on the 21st - what an amazing treat for him. They are beside themselves!

pigsinmud · 14/03/2014 17:19

It did Ilikepinkwine. Might try it again in future!

LCHammer · 14/03/2014 17:28

We're in! Happy kids here.

Let us know details, it must be one of the hugest MN meet-ups too!

Hermancakedestroyer · 14/03/2014 17:36

Have just re-read my post and realised that I sound very jealous! I am! But apologies Blush

marsybum · 14/03/2014 17:42

we're in too!!! now trying to persuade DH that coming with us is much better than commentating on football for hospital radio, his loss!

MrsSippie · 14/03/2014 17:48

How will we recognise each other??

Keepcalmanddrinkwine · 14/03/2014 18:01

Herman, I have asked Annmumsnet on the Winners' Corner thread to chase up the football tickets- I too had the initial email (and responded at once with my preference and details) but nothing since.

Dollydowser · 14/03/2014 18:08

Happy days! Thankyou so much xxx very unmumsnetty kisses

LCHammer · 14/03/2014 18:13

Well, if MN doesn't organise us, I'm sure we can do it. Maybe a few check-points during the day at different rides.

MrsSippie · 14/03/2014 18:16

Ooh, I suppose MN may sort it so we go round in a scary sort of 'pack' Grin

LCHammer · 14/03/2014 18:17

A pack of 50 is a takeover.
