General Discussion

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!

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…

Whilst I don't anticipate there to be significant discourse on here this evening, the Fright Nights Launch Event is this evening, so I'd expect there to be spoilers floating about ahead of the official opening tomorrow. Please share anything that could be considered a Spoiler here. If you want to follow along and get some updates of the event, and insights into what might have changed and the quality this year, follow along with your favourite fansite (that's Thorpe Park Mania, in case it wasn't obvious) on all good (and bad) social media!

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

Discuss Stealth here.What do you think of it?

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

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…

Well I have been planning to create a topic about Closed Rides for Thorpe Park within a couple of days before the season begins (Saturday 10th Febuary 2007). Here you can discuss about;-Ride avaibility.-Ride reliaibity.-Your prediction of ride avaibility and reliaibity.-Which rides have been been mentioned on the Thorpe Park Offical Website (TPOF) will be unavaible for a certain amount of day(s).-Your feelings about what rides were closed on the day you went (or the day your planning to go).-Other relating discussion and comments.Please note that I will be recording everyday of the season, which rides have been mentioned on the website that will be unavaible from when I g…

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.

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.

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!

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

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!!

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?

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

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.

MOD EDIT Posts split from 2015 topic for 2016 discussion... I'm so sad the lionsgate mazes are leaving next year. cabin will be missed :-(

Now Storm Surge has now opened to the masses here is the new topic to discuss the ride.Rode it today, its clear the area is certainly not finished but nice work from the park to get it open on time. The ride its self is very fun, it spins alot more than I expected and is actually pretty intense for a "dingy ride", the theming what's there is nice, and I expect we will see more of it too soon when the area is actually finished.

http://thorpeparkmania.co.uk/news/08-01-2014/Angry-Birds-Fly-into-THORPE-PARK - Full details here Please keep discussion to the forums for now until Thorpe Park fully announce the new area on their own social media channels

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.

Guys! Who has worked at thorpe park,Or will be in 2009 season.Ive currently got a assessment on 22nd, hopefully I get in ;)Any tips?Also..Who ahs any like stories about staff on rides etc.Like me and my mates got a whole ride/queue line singing "liek a prayer" lol! Ry-Boi!

Thoughts on Detonator??? I love it lol

Simple topic really, just for updates and that over the closed season. (By the way, mods, can this be put in the General Thorpe Park Section? )Not much I can say really, and unfortunately I don't have any pictures, but there's a chance of some in the nest few days from me. Vertical construction of Storm Surge is not visible from outside the park yet. The majority of the slide is still in the staff car park, however, the lift hill section has been moved (whether it's just been moved out of site, or somewhere slightly more productive I dunno. Rush's swigs haven't been taken off (which is different to previous seasons I believe?) and Slammer doesn't have any scaffolding…

I thought I'd start a topic on the big wide crummy world of queues and whats the largest youve seen in TP.for me its...120min for stealth120min for Colossusloggers leap COMPLETELY filled upand the asylum had an over 2 hour wait.any other experieances?

Here are a few new details of some of whats coming up for the 2014 season http://thorpeparkmania.co.uk/news/04-12-2013/2014-Season-Information
