It's that time of year again! Tonight is the Press Night for Fright Nights, and so I fully expect some spoilers to start floating around social media from later this evening. From now on, please post anything spoiler related here. The non-spoiler thread will remain open and available. Also, of course, everyone's favourite Thorpe Park fansite will be there and posting updates throughout the afternoon and evening. Make sure to check us out on Facebook and Twitter in particular! On a final note, here is the entrance feature to Trailers, from Jack Silkstone...

As you may well know, I have been getting a lot of stick recently for my dislike of Nemesis Inferno. This is a poll and topic to discuss your thoughts on the B&M Invert and to see how popular it really is on TPM!

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…

Which is your favourite ride at the park?

Which row do you think is the best? Is it worth queuing for front row or not?

The rethemed Angry Birds Land has been announced as Big Easy Boulevard... We'll keep discussion of that in here now.

Seriously! Back in 2008 when I first visited the park was arguably the most exciting park in the UK due to amazing investments the park was installing each year! Now every new attraction is either a maze or “experience” and the fact they turned their only “good” family coaster into a horror themed attraction is just ridiculous! Why don’t they add any new coasters or flat rides? It’s becoming such a bore! The last decent addition was in 2012! The 2nd hand kiddie rides they’ve added to old town don’t even blend into the area they stick out like sore thumbs with their colourful colour scenes and old “theming” Why have they…

Anyone else getting withdrawal symptoms or is it just me? It isn't even so much the roller coasters and rides I miss as a whole; but the theme tune as you arrive and walk down the bridge, the iconic themed music to each ride, the scenery around the park, I don't know what it is but I visited a fair amount of times last season, 3 or 4 times over Halloween and loved it each and every time. I need an adrenaline fix asap. #2020.

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!

The Discovery Channel documentary about John Wardley that was filmed last summer at Thorpe Park is being shown next month on the UK Quest Channel (Freeview channel 38). It is in the "World's Strangest Jobs" series. Provisional dates and times are 17, 19, 21 or 22 July, but this might change. It is the documentary that John mentioned in his autobiography, and features Emma Bassett, whose life was saved by a ride on Colossus!

The new signage for The Living Nightmare Extreme around The Slammer:

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.

The spoiler thread for all things Fright Nights 2016. No need to use spoiler tags, and be as in depth as you want! Warning: Unless filmed during Thursday's media night, POVs / photos of the mazes are not allowed and will be removed. Don't try to record / photograph inside in the mazes.

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?

Give me some of your most controversial Thorpe Park opinions. I'll go first... Logger's Leap was a mediocre log flume and the only reason why people miss it is because they're afraid of change.

Seeing that the Swarm came tops, I thought I'd do another poll similar but this time which coaster everyone likes the best in the dark/night time at Thorpe. Things to consider your choice/s are Coherence to the theme Lighting (as too much ruins the effect) Interaction to surroundings (at night)

www.getwestlondon.co.uk/news/west-london-news/thorpe-park-firefighters-called-rollercoaster-12906683 I can't beleive the stupidity of these idiots what on earth possesses someone to break into Thorpe Park and attempt to climb a 205ft roller coaster! I hope the park take serious action against them. Its one thing to break into the park let alone to try and climb one of the uks tallest roller coasters.

Single rider is on some of the rides at thorpe. Which ones and how do they work?

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)

Today at THORPE PARK they are filming their summer advert, is this a thing they usually do because I don't remember them having a separate one? They tweeted earlier that they have just finished filming on Depth Charge, this could be trying to show how THORPE PARK is suitable for all ages as they have changed their target audience recently. If anyone has any pictures/videos of the filming post here please.

Comedy nights are coming to Thorpe this year, so lets get this topic rolling Who are these people, who would you like to see doing stand up? Info on Comedy event Here!
