What do you think about Thorpe's Merchandise? Good, Bad, Expensive? Post your views here.

Thorpe Park have just posted on their facebook page: Picture this…the gates close for the day, but we’re not done yet! If THORPE PARK reopened exclusively for late night summer riding on our top six coasters for a strictly limited number of guests at a bargain price…would you come? Could this suggest that they are planning this in the future? Discuss my unicorns!

Yesterday I was quite annoyed with some of the staff, especially on Vortex, Rush and Samurai! They seem to be having silly conversations in the middle of loading times which even added more time to the waiting times. They really need to keep focus and try to decrease the waiting time for that ride, instead of increasing! However, at least they were happy (ashame that most of the guests weren't).I must say though, the politeness of the staff yesterday were exellent, even the cleaners. But, I didn't like the attitude of a group of staff were a woman had asked nicely when some of the rides will reopen and they replied "Don't ask me, I don't even work here", when they clearly…

Each year Thorpe Park comes up with many ridiculously silly and entertaining marketing stunts. Some memorable stunts that come to mind: 'Say No to Bo' 'Saw: The Ride sick collector' 'Priest blessing Stealth' 'Urine collection for Saw Alive' 'The girl who married Stealth' 'Ouiji board in Saw: The Ride' We have also been very lucky to receive some beautiful promotional art, like this new picture here found on Thorpe Park Official's Facebook page: http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs472.ash1/25891_415324725866_27217550866_5706700_3481963_n.jpgDiscuss those marketing campaigns that really do make us wonder who is behind the Marketing department these days, thos…

http://thorpeparkmania.co.uk/news/19-08-2013/Reserve-And-Ride-Trials Well who liked queuing anyway? Massively excited about this.. It has huge potential. Fantastic to see Thorpe once again working ages to improve guest existence.

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!

I was just looking at Thorpe's website and I came across Fright Nights. It doesnt seem there is anything new for FN, only Saw Alive, but tbh the only thing they can do with Saw alive is add one more new scene. Has anyone found any news, about the huge event, because it will be hugley appreiciated. Thank you

At the moment it appears Thorpe will open on the 16th Feb and close on the 9th Novemeber! Looks like Thorpe Blast is to return for the last 3 days of the season with 10am-8pm opening times. Full opening time can be found here.http://www.thorpepark.com/planning_your_vi...times.asp?css=2

Closed Season is upon us, and sooner or later, the forums will descend into chaos (read: the forums will become dead quiet as we have nothing to speak about). To stop that happening, here's the 2016 Thread, where we can discuss all non-WC16 2016 Thorpe things. Share ideas for what you'd like to see Thorpe do for next season, post the few-and-far-between updates on any other updates for 2016, and views on those new things. And to repeat, any WC16 stuff should remain in its own thread. What I'd like to see... -Rumba Rapids work. Almost as infamous as a Colossus repaint, but this is surely a cheaper project, and is just as needed. -Introduce themed areas a…

Last year I managed to get some coupons for 2 for 1 entry or half price entry. Does anyone know where I can get some of these again? I found some but they are only for Thrill Chill.Thanks!!

So I’m curious, Every year Thorpe Park do a preseason update video (in conjunction with Jack Silkstone) Its November 2022, What do you expect to see in the preseason update in March 2023? Toilet Updates? New bins? Haha, but seriously. We’ve got a collousus retrack on the cards.

Hi All,I am going to Thorpe Park tomorrow for the very first time and cannot wait.I am however slightly concerned at the chest restrictions on some of the rides. Does anybody know what size the restraints are on the bigger rides? SAW, Nemesis etcI am large lad, have a 52" chest, large legs and also a bit of a belly on me lol, I am just wanting to know if I'm gonna struggle getting on some of the rides.Your comments would be most appreciate.Thanks everyone

Information on the new "Waterfront Hotel" has been released. http://www.thorpepark.com/waterfront-hotel/ This is definitely pushing the family market much more it would seem. Also, loving the use of the wingrider at Heide Park for the canvas in the room, new ride for 2014 sorted.

Is there going to to an annual pass preview day this year??

Just noticed that 1 of the best rides in the park did not have a thread.Discuss Quantum here. Do you like it?, hate it?.Personally it's a must do everytime I visit Thorpe park

I can't seem to find a thread for the website, so I though I'd start one.Just wondering, does the 'Rides Currently Unavaliable' widget actually work? I have never seen any rides listed here, even when I know for a fact that they're down. Also, does the website go down perodically for additions or randomly due to difficulties? ThanksPs. I've only just joined so please forgive me if I've gone about this wrong

I think a few of the rides at thorpe park really lack anything in the way of theming, such as the new zodiac wheel!! its been at thorpe park for 2 open seasons now, and still they have not themed it like all the other rides in the area.but hopefully with the introduction of Merlin entertainments as now the new owners or co-owners of thorpe park, they should sort the theming out! as I've heard Merlin entertainments are very big on ride theming! so by 2010, we should expect thorpe park to boast the best rides and theming in the country!!!

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?

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..

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 ]

Thorpe Park is an amazing theme park and has developed a lot over the years. But, there is always room for improvements around the park so do you have any suggestions? I am very interested to see what everyone has in mind and perhaps some of our suggestions may even been seen (seeing this is the official fansite for Thorpe Park). Try suggesting things that will improve and develop:- Atmosphere: What coud the park do to give more of an atmosphere in areas and rides? Or just the park as a whole?- Guest experience: What could the park do to make the guest experience far better? What would put a smile on everyones faces? What would you do to make them return to the park?- Rid…

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

Yesterday I visited Thorpe park with some friends. All week I was worried about size restrictions. I have a 47-48 inch chest, am 6ft1, and weigh around 20 stone. The first ride of the day was nemesis inferno. I needed a sharp push on the harness but everything was fine, didn't even feel tight. I rode this again later on in the dark and all was fine then as well. The next ride we went on was Samurai. Everything was completely fine again didn't even feel tight. the next ride we went on was Saw. Perfect amount of room, I doubt anyone couldn't ride that ride. We rode this three times throughout the day. With my confidence up we …

Well as said, The Flying Fish is now open so away from the furture and now in the General dicussion.Discuss here...
