General Discussion

Seems like @THORPEPARK took my suggestion from the Questions to THORPE PARK forum. I think they owe me 10% of profits from these days...which looking at the prices 10% will pay me alot! http://www.thorpepark.com/plan-your-visit/vip-your-day.aspx Dont worry, that is the most expensive package...they start at £50

WHICH IS YOUR FAV THORPE PARK B&M RIDE?!

Hi guys has anyone been watching the 2nd series of Scream If You Know The Answer? Episodes 3 and 4 comming up on Sunday featuring Denise Van Outen, Jason Gardinar, Neil Morrisey, and Edwina Currie lol

WHAT IS YOUR FAV INTAMIN ACCELERATOR

Hi guys! First thread for me is fittingly about my first ever visit to Thorpe. I visit towers quite often and decided to attempt to get 12p tickets, which I somehow luckily achieved, thus I'm taking my mum and younger sister to Thorpe. (Both are above. 1.4m) We're visiting this Saturday the 1st July and wondered of any tips or a day plan if possible? We may purchase a one shot fast track if its mega busy (which is affordable considering our ticket price). I and my sister will be riding all the coasters and flats, whereas my mum will stick to anything that doesn't invert (she's past her thrill seeking days). So yeah, if you guys could shoot us some ideas of a plan and s…

Hello, I am new to this forum but have been a fan of Thorpe for years. Does anyone know if they are having an annual pass day this year, if so which date. Many thanks Ollie

Lets see who wins now.

What a frightening thought, but one of the ride operators asked me yesterday "what if your favourite ride didn't exist, what would you ride?" Now, I had nightmares last night. I think this is the first time I've ever been asked and if a person has one particular favourite ride, and it did not exist, then logically the next would become that persons favourite. However, if your favourite does exist, and then it did not, it is an odd thought. Well for me anyway.

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

I've only been to Thorpe park once and I'm going again in June! Where can I find pop badges? I'm interested in collecting them! - (have been a ghost member for quite a while so hi everyone)! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry guys about this 'late' entry, I never got round to doing it yesterday: Just to remind you, you vote on these three questions: Would you ever ride it? Would it fit in at a UK theme park? Would you put it in thorpe park? The ride up this week is... Extreme ride! There are many versions of this but I have got a video of the 4 arm one, of course if thorpe DID get one of these they would be better off with a 6 arm: So guys, get voting and most importantly... Could it be the 2014 ride at thorpe park?

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

Just had a quick search for the acts:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXuIciR6KA4

So I'm sure most of you have been on the reverse facing seats and smashed through the new devastated billboard. So hear is my 3 question poll: 1.In your opinion do you think the new backward facing seats is a good addition to Swarm?? 2.Do you think the new Billboard near miss is a good addition to Swarm?? 3.What is your favourite near miss?? Vote away

It's 3am, can't sleep and thought this would be an interesting poll as at one point these were the only two "big" coasters at Thorpe and its not been done before! I have a feeling I'll be shot down for even asking and for what my answer is, but it will be interesting to see everyone's opinions I have to say Colossus. Inferno is a good coaster and yeah it has some great, forceful moments (which often result on me coming off with a headache!) but it just doesn't do it for me for some reason. Yes it's fun but at the same time I find myself bored, dare I say it! Pre-lift is good fun, first drop with the kicker is good (and better than Colossus'), loop, zero-g and that turn…

Any thoughts on this article?Article

Any extra payment is annoying but if one only pops into TP for a few hours, which I know quite a few people do, they have to now pay the extra for FN days. TP/Merlin have increased the "event" days and reduced the open days in between this year and especially in the last month. This is really annoying as if one only wants to ride, it costs £15 a day extra. I doubt I am the only one who is annoyed by this. I do know one person who went there every day, but never rode anything.

Hi as Old Town has closed,I would like to know what people think should happen to Rocky and what is actually happening with it. I have heard that Rocky has been sold if this is true I think a small Theme Park like Camel Creek should purchase it. Please post your theories,opinions and any rumours you have heard here.

I was wondering if you can buy tickets for containment at thorpe park actually on the day at the park, Without having to book online?

Hi guys here’s a little video from monks walk plus a couple updates and information please watch and enjoy https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v-RGrn0fSpg

Thorpe is full of hidden secrets and Easter eggs, and the internet is full of videos and websites listing them (this is one of the better ones). I used to consider myself a bit of an expert on Thorpe Park - I knew every little detail, in ever corner of the island, but my attendance dropped a little in recent years and now I'm not sure I'm quite the nerd I once was! I learned of a few new ones from that article! I thought It'd be interesting to hear if you know of any little-known hidden details (Easter eggs) at Thorpe Park? My favourite one is probably the high water line on the KFC building from the tidal wave!

Hi guys. I'm sure that many members on here are seasoned visitors to Thorpe Park, and I wouldn't be surprised if some members have "gameplans", if you will, of how to best tackle the park. With this in mind, I'd be interested to know; in your view, which Thorpe Park coaster or group of coasters is best to start the day on? I only ask because I'm headed back to the park next month for my third solo day there, and I'm wondering whether to stick to my usual strategy or divvy it up. On my previous two visits, I've always found Stealth/Inferno to be a good duo to start on, as I've found that you can take a ride on both of those two as well as Detonator early on wit…

Very interesting new offering!

Does anyone else have these random things in life that just make you think of Thorpe Park? For me, it's these things every time! Dr Pepper I've never been a big fizzy drinks fan, but ever since they used to give out free Dr Pepper at Sun Scream, the taste of it always takes me back to Thorpe Park around 2009ish era! Dolly Parton Every time I hear Dolly Parton I am taken back to Loggers Leap's queue! Water fountains There's a particular smell that seems to come from water fountains in shopping malls - maybe they use the same type of cleaner/chlorine, but the smell always reminds me of Tidal Wave! Ar…
