General Discussion

I know its early but thought it would be good to keep conversation of 2025 separate. Opening hours for the 2025 have been released already. https://www.thorpepark.com/plan-your-visit/before-you-visit/opening-times/ - Season will start on Friday 28th March and end on Sunday 2nd November. - Continuation of 5pm closes for off peak weekdays, 6pm for holidays and every weekend. - Couple of closed Wednesdays during April and May but they were very quiet this year. - 7pm closes throughout the summer holidays and every Saturday from mid June. - September has a couple of closed Wednesdays. - Park will be closed in Oct…

Hyperia officially opens tomorrow, ending a 12 year drought of new coasters at Thorpe. Tonight is the press launch, which means there will be plenty of reviews about. As such, for anyone who doesn't want the station interior spoiled - or doesn't want to hear people's views - we'll have this thread here. We'll keep the other thread for construction / archiving. I'll post my views on Hyperia here tonight, and look forward to reading plenty more tomorrow!

Discuss Stealth here.What do you think of it?

No idea what happened to the Samurai topic, so here is one!Anyways. Samurai has a new entrance sign / information board. Proof the thing isn't moving to Canada Creek? Ta Matt for the pic.

I was really annoyed by the staff member letting people in at the swarm only letting the main queue in not even 1 fastrack person. it should at least be half and half if not some fastrack in then main queue which meant queuing normally for ride I would of actually got on it quicker. I got my money back on the swarm fastracks as I wasn't happy but apart from that I had a really great day/night at thorpe

I was extremely fortunate to be able to attend the Media Event this evening, and I can say that the event was simply epic. As is the ride. Best. Ride. Ever.Unfortunately, I didn't get many photos, due to the darkness and my camera hating the that. However, I can recall pretty much every fine detail. However, I'm tired, and don't have the effort to do that now. I will, however, do so tomorrow (I assume I'm allowed, haven't been told otherwise) and will give a ride review as well. I also believe that not all effects were working during my rides, meaning that when it's all done, it should be even more epic!As said, the ride is epic, the area is epic, the theming is e…

Just noticed Zodiac had no topic. I think it's pretty good although it's not one of my favourites. I'll go on it if the que isn't bad. I'd give it a three out of five. Anyone like it, anyone hate it?

Talk about anything to do with Tidal Wave here. I noticed there isn't really big queue's for Tidal Wave anymore exspecily for Winter. Isit due to people don't want to get wet or just not worth it?

As Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise of the Demon has been rethemed, I thought it'd be a good idea to start a new thread on the new iteration just to make things easier for archival sake. Discuss away!

Found on twitter and Instagram. Thoughts?

Discuss Thorpe Park's new rollercoaster for 2009 here. This thread may contain spoilers.Discuss the construction here

Tonight is the Media Preview Event for The Walking Dead - The Ride, ahead of Saturday's official opening. Spoilers will no doubt appear sooner or later, so please post them here! This thread will also be used going forward to discuss the ride, etc. For anyone interested in following updates tonight, you can get the best from our Facebook page..

Discuss Nemesis Inferno here!I think this ride is the best themed in the park but will probably change when Saw: The Ride opens!I love the station music and the whole atmosphere of the station.A great ride!

The Colossus music rules. The music played around Amity Cove is great too.

The thread about just food and drink avalible from the park; whether its Burger King or Baguettes, Colossal Hot Dogs or Doughnuts you love, discuss your love and hate, issues and praises here.I always go to Crust at the end of Colossus, mainly because I love baguettes and they are really tastey, but also because I am not a lover of fast food. Now and again yeh, but every time gets abit too much.I think Thorpe Park and all the Tussauds attractions should install some more salad bars or fruit stalls in their parks to cater for those who want to eat healthy food - or just to avoid throwing up on rides.

To charge for staying in your car park, you must have terms and conditions displayed every so many yards, ie signs usually attached to lamp posts. There is none of this. There is no gate of barrier when you enter, which implies you're not trespassing by being there. Correct me if I'm wrong?

dont know if anyone has noticed, there has been an update to the thorpe park app with the new 2014 map.....quite a change!

Colossus, an intamin mega loop ride was opened in 2002 and as the world first, and at the time only 10 looping coaster. Discuss the ride here.

Very good ride from thorpe but not sure as you also have vortex which can be seen as the same rides just one is bigger. I know they are very different but to the average person looking on they may see rush or vortex as a bit pontless, oh well just less queing for me!!

Well this start of the season is going to be interesting for the Rumba Rapids. I wonder what we will expect now its getting re-themed (or not). No more Ribeana sponsorship.Any comments, please post them.

WWTP; Thorpe Park's Amity Cove radio station. Discuss.What does WWTP actually stand for? World Wide Thorpe Park, or White Water West Thorpe Park [Yeah RIGHT Dann ]

Wasn’t sure whether to start a 2024 topic or one just for the map. In any case…. The 2024 map has been released. 2 main observations from me. One - seems strange to build the UK’s tallest coaster but opt for your map to be a 2D top-down view meaning you don’t see the height of the new ride. Two - they’ve very clearly put defined areas back on the map again here, but haven’t put area names on. This seems really weird?! Either commit to the themed areas or don’t have any at all. I think it makes the layout confusing as to the average guest there’s no rhyme or reason why certain rides and shops are grouped together. In any case, Sa…

https://www.thorpepark.com/resort-information/food-drink/restaurants I'm not sure if this has already discussed on here, but the Coffee Shack in the Dome is going to start selling Costa Coffee and their food. I think it will be nice to get a cup before I leave. I wonder if you will be able to get MAP discount here?

To discuss the official refurbishment project at Thorpe. Revealed in the Christmas video 2023 the following is planned for the 2024 season. Colossus repaint (half initially), control system upgrade, dispatch screen, rockwork and theming repairs/upgrades to queue and long term track replacement. Stealth station/photo kiosk repaint, refurb to entrance & queue, new TV screens Rush & vortex repainted to original colours Samurai repainted red/black (AKA original chessington colour scheme) Refurbished toilets in Amity Cove, Big Easy Boulevard & Swarm Island. Virtual interior rebuild of Old Town toilets including Gender neutral …

Ok Guys, theres no topic on vortex so I thought we would start one.
