    Give February half-term an adrenaline kick at Thorpe Park.

    Thorpe Park is calling all hardcore thrill hunters to brave the February weather and join in the fun and anticipation of the Ultimate Thrill Chill.

    The park gates will open on Saturday, February 16, until Sunday 24 and for the first two weekends in March.

    As part of the Ultimate Thrill Chill, only the most hair-raising rides will be running, so only the most daring thrill-hunters need apply.

    Unleash the daredevil within and take on the loops, spins, and incredible speeds of the nation's thrill capital.

    Rides include the unholy trinity of rollercoasters: Stealth - Europe's fastest rollercoaster and tallest launch coaster sends those brave enough to venture onto the ride from 0-80mph in under two seconds at a dizzying 205ft.

    Colossus - A white-knuckled, record-setting rollercoaster that hurtles through 10 twists and turns at 45mph.

    Nemesis Inferno - This inverted hell ride into the fiery mouth of a volcano is only for those with the most nerve.

    Revellers won't know which way is up as they loop, sidewind, dive and corkscrew at speeds of up to 50mph.

    In addition to the fantastic selection of nerve-wracking rides on offer at the Ultimate Thrill Chill, there is also something for the football fanatics.

    From February 20-24, EA Games will be showcasing and promoting their new game - FIFA Street 3, the ultimate arcade football experience.

    Thrill-seekers would be insane to miss this opportunity. To find out what rides are available during this period, and to be sure of bagging yourself a bargain, visit thorpepark.com To stand a chance of winning one set, just answer the question.

    Send your answer on a postcard with your name, address and daytime telephone number to: Thorpe Park Competition, Surrey Comet, Rita Gillen, Unecol House, 819 London Road, North Cheam SM3 9BN. Closing date for entries is February 20.




    answer - Fright Nights

    How about putting several postcards in a single envelope? Seems to have worked for people for other comps.

    I use the free postcards as well. However, I always put the postcards inside envelopes and send them that way. I don't like the thought of all my details being available to whoever handles the post. Guess I am just a bit more cautious with all the identity theft that goes on. Also I find that I can buy a box of 1000 envelopes from like Staples and get them Bogof (making 2000) for a fraction of what it costs to buy them in packs of 10 or 20 in Tesco. It's much cheaper that way.

    This is a good idea. I've decided to do this too. I've also found that it's far cheaper to buy labels rather than envelopes - methinks I may have found a use for all those free envelopes that arrive with the junk mail ...;)

    A word of warning. Some comp sites don't like opening envelopes.

    They are quite happy, though, to have sealed envelopes with writing on both sides. So could use the already addressed spam envelopes and put address labels over the address on the front of the envelope. Just seal them down and put the comp entry on the back.

    Several will accept multi postcards inside one envelope, but others (like Prima) insist on individual postcards sent for each entry.

    For postcards I save all my cardboard packaging and cut it into postcard sizes, then I use largish labels (6 to a sheet) with the comp address on on the pretty side, and write my entry on the other.

    Green and economical at the same time! Cuts down on the amount going in my recycling bin!
