General Discussion

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

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.

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.

I'm not talking about any of the soundtracks here. I mean the noises which the rides and coasters actually make.I have noticed as I walk round the park, that the attractions make some great noises which really do remind me of the park, and I have so many times refered to Thorpe Park's rides outside the park. For Example, the other day I was in a mates car and his brakes were making a noise just the same as Samurai powering up and down in the ride cycle and I loved it so much Some of my personal favourites are:- Nemesis Inferno pulling out of the station and that clonking noise which I "think" is made by each of the set wheels passing onto another section of the track.- …

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 all. Merlin have now made a pass just for Thorpe park. I have bough mine already online, but what do you think? Is it worth paying £64 to go to one park when you can pay £110 for about 10 places? Place your thoughts here

Storm in a Teacup is awesome, so here's a topic about it.Originally teacup twisters, then themed to Storm in a Teacup WHENEVER, and now Storm in a Teacup sponsered by tetley tea!No day at a Theme Park is complete without a ride on the teacups. (or similar (Marauders Mayhem anyone?))Oh and Chessington has teacups on their carousel, so that counts!Has anybody else noticed they're playing WWTP radio on storm in a teacup? Has it always been in Amity Cove?Video times: Teacup madness with Perry the Platypus is at 0:50 seconds!

THORPE PARK have released there new ticket prices for the 2008 season.On-the-DayAdult £32.00Online Adult £24.00 Child £12.00 Family of 4 £50.00Family of 5 £62.00Senior £16.00Disabled / Helper £14.50

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

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!!!

Topic for you guys to post any Thorpe Park related youtube videos you may have created or seen!Ill start with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FK6hGeMEd8

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 ]

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

Alot of Fanboys/fangirls take cameras to the park to take pictures, videos and recordings... I am one of them ;)Sometimes I manage to get a good snap Photo which I just want to show people. If you manage to snap a really good photo, show us

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…

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.

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.

Neptunes Beach: Is it a waste of space? and how often do you see people in it? could the space be used for something else?

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?

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?

Dicuss the fun water ride here.

I'll go with Loggers Leap.

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.

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!!
