What will the new map be like? Obviously SAW: The Ride will be on it... ect....ect.If you get a hold of one, post it here!

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

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 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!!!

Parking now £15.00 unless pre booked online and then its £8.00. Only Premium Merlin Passes get free parking. https://www.thorpepark.com/tickets-passes/parking

At the risk of someone on here taking umbrage at having to glimpse real life and getting this topic locked - this woman, obviously well suited to the tabloid press, alleges she was humiliated and forced to parade in front of hundreds of park guests, because she could not be safely fitted into a harness on Colossus, having walked past the test seat to join the queue.............. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3863156/They-know-not-B-cup-Mother-one-banned-Thorpe-Park-ride-Colossus-36L-BREASTS.html#newcomment

We perhaps all have a habitual awareness of our personal items when on rides, and everybody is encouraged to secure loose items. Yesterday whilst on a ride, yes it was Stealth, a twelve year old girl was injured by being struck by a mobile phone. She was on the front row, the loser of the phone was in row eight. That phone, allegedly, was in a teenagers zipped pocket. As we on this site, all understand that on the brake hill, the severe braking induces an opposite effect on gravity, with all loose items then being thrown forward. Sadly, the phone hit the girl on top of the head causing a cut, and I dare say, bruising, it took a while for the bleeding to stop. Being…

Without planning too much I had intended attending TP today to catch some reasonable weather and before my shifts start again - to find last evening that it is not open. I may be the only one, but Fright Nights are of no interest to me except for perhaps getting some late rides, be it with an extra payment. Annoyed I'll now have to think about doing some things around the home. Frustrated that I haven't ridden a coaster since Sunday, and not much time left.

http://www.thorpepark.com/plan-your-visit/events.aspx#pleaseBand Another event heading to the park. Whilst there no one particualy famous I do like the amount the park are doing to become a a venue more than just the theme park.

Hi Just to advise everyone that Thorpe park is having power issues today. There has been one power outage that appeared to take out the whole park and another blip that could have caused an issue as well but I was inside so can't tell. Hopefully the team will get it sorted but apparently they also had a power issue yesterday (got that from a shop assistant)

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…

Very interesting new offering!

As you are hopefully aware, this year we have had the opportunity to pose some questions to members of the Thorpe Park team, including Divisional Director Dom Jones and Merlin Magic Making's John Burton. We've been lucky enough to have an insightful Q&A with the Show Services Technical Manager, Jonny. The Q&A talks about the resort's AV set-up, IMA Score, Fright Nights and more!

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 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?

Hi guys. Thorpe Park has 7 different roller coasters which are arguably a big part of what makes the park what it is today, but surprisingly, we don't appear to have a topic ranking them and discussing our favourites, so I thought I'd make one! With that in mind, my simple question to you this evening is; how would you rank Thorpe Park's coasters? Which is your favourite? I'll get the ball rolling with my list (the bold bit after each comment is my rating out of 10 compared to the other coasters I've ridden, as well as the ride's ranking within my overall count): Nemesis Inferno - This never used to be top, but I've got to say that it's grown on me a f…

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.

Continuing the long running 'what do you think of a ride' competition, this time we get to the 2006 ride Stealth at Thorpe Park.Opening on the 14th March 2006, Stealth when opened was to be the parks icon ride. Featuring a 205 foot top-hat and an 80 mile per hour launch, there is no doubt that part of Thorpe Park's continuing success is this short but sweet, Intamin rollercoaster. But is it any good? You decide but remember, it isn't just the ride that is important, it's everything around it. Is the soundtrack adequate, does the theming match up to the ride experience.

So now that the majority of TPM members have had their chance to ride The Swarm, please vote here on what you think of Thorpe Park's newest rollercoaster. Was it worth the wait, does the rides theming blow you away or does the shortness of the layout make you feel unsatisfied.Vote now

Continuing the series, vote for what you think of Detonator. Detonator, was one of three new rides for the 2001 season. Initially it seems small, especially when compared with Stealth, but first impressions can be deceptive!Vote and Discuss your vote here!

I went to Thorpe Park last night when it was open until 10pm, and was just wondering what everyone thought was the best ride to go on in the dark?Personally, I think that the best rides for the dark are:1st - Rush, because the view is amazing2rd - Stealth, because the view is also amazing3nd - Samurai, because when it is lit up in the dark, it is really fun.

WHAT IS YOUR FAV INTAMIN ACCELERATOR

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.

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!!
